Urban Dharma NC

FEATURED AS "NEW & NOTEWORTHY" BY APPLE 2013-2014 *** Urban Dharma NC is a new Buddhist center, a community-in-progress in western North Carolina. We are committed to the growing of Dharma, for Dharma to take roots in our lives here in this corner of the world, in this part of North Carolina, on the soil of these Appalachian mountains. Our motto "Changing Minds, Transforming Cities" expresses the vision of living the transformative teachings of the Buddha in a contemporary, urban context where we ground our lives in Dharma. Urban Dharma NC emphasizes integrating rather than compartmentalizing, engaging rather than retreating, communing rather than isolating. *** We believe that Buddhist teachings have much to offer, not only to those who self-identify as Buddhist, but more fundamentally to all who seek to live intentional, compassionate, and balanced lives. And we believe that we can do this best when we have a community that is welcoming open and supportive. *** Introductory

  • What’s Karma Got To Do With It? (Part 6)

    “The Buddha’s teaching on karma (literally, “action”) is nothing other than his compassionate explanation of the way things are: our thoughts & actions determine our future, & therefore we ourselves are largely responsible for the way our lives unfold. Yet this supremely useful teaching is often ignored due to the misconceptions about it that abound in popular culture, especially oversimplifications that make it seem like something not to be taken seriously.”

    In this series Dr. Lye will unpack this important concept & show how the Buddha’s teachings on karma can help us live good & happy lives for ourselves & for others. Dr. Lye’s often humorous & highly-relatable presentation will help us see how a clear & realistic understanding of the Buddha’s teachings on karma can lead to a transformative way of life despite an overwhelming feeling of living in difficult, challenging & threatening times.

  • 5 Buddha Families (Part 9)

    Ever wondered what the symbols in a mandala – whether in paint or sand- represent? Who are all these tantric deities and how are they related to us, if at all? The Five Buddha Families is a tantric organizing principle for understanding who we fundamentally are – a pithy, efficient schema, that points points to original wakefulness, which like colorless light when refracted, can be utilized to better understand and recognize its subtle, different nuances and qualities. Over these three Sundays, Dr. Lye will guide us through an exploration of this organizing principle, incorporating theory, practice and contemplation into these Dharma teachings.
