About Dharmasila
OUR MISSION: Dharmasila is dedicated to bringing the inspiration to rediscover the four noble truth, to meditate what is real, and to lead a genuine life based on noble eight-fold path, culmination of which can be enlightenment. Our teachings, instructions, and guidance comes from someone who has traveled the path and therefore can give valid and confident advice about how others could travel this same path at a crossroads of Coal, Gas, Nuclear Energy, and Fossil Fuel energy to solar, hydro, wind, and thermal energy shift and relative heightened awareness of runaway climate change.
Our courage, credential, and commitment is to provide hands on experience over Internet teachings, instructions, and services for supportive education and learning experience. We encourage fostering intervention and prevention in relation to food, herbs, meditation, yoga, and yoga-massage habits of
healing to people everywhere in the planet to take charge of their health.
From the moment we are born, we are carried by four great rivers: birth, sickness, old age, and death. We all must die; we all will die __the only question is how and when. Our actions creates the conditionality and circumstances to co-arising reality. Skayamuni sought the solution to the sufferings of birth, sickness, old age, and death to realize fearless noble self and death. The legend says that when the baby Buddha was born, he took seven steps and shouted, "Above heaven, below heaven, I alone am most noble." Here the "I" is most noble represents all humanity and mankind. Truly, through the power of committed practice, there is nothing that cannot become easy to achieve in action of cultivating change.
Managing your physical and emotioal health starts with staying well, and the common-sense values of yoga exercise, vegan diet, vipassana meditation, and yoga massage of simple insight mindfulness. What to do as a caregiver when you or a family member or best friend becomes ill is a problem at the other end of the polorized spectrum, results in stress, cranky, angry, and unpleasant to be with yourself and other. and we have provided with resources and information interaction to guide you through difficult times of stress.

Acton Prayer
You are the son and daughter of Sakayamuni
You are indivisible embodiment of Five Sila primordial protector
You are adorned by the three trainings;
Inside your heart is filled with Bodhichitta;
Secretly you are the secret liberator of all defilement
Sakayamuni supreme accomplishment is upon you
A worker of the world serving all sentient being
May I offer and practice perfectly pure dharma without hindrance
Beings living in the radiated food, air, water, and soil
self-inflicted afflictions of degenerated age of
antibiotics, hormons, steroids, and super bugs
Are continually tormented by five corruptions and drunk
on the five sense objects
Following in the tide of three poisons of greed, aversion, and delusions;
human heart and mind loosing capacity by unattainable worldly actions;
believing that the insubstantial is substantial.
Don't waste your time and impair your mind by judging, speculating,
and believing in self, ideas or anything but Four noble Truth
Protector, by your practice and the mighty truth of the five Silas;
protector of Noble Eight-fold Path cosmic concentration
may all beings awaken from ignorance!
While in the torment of Birth, death and Rebirth of endless sufferings,
may beings first experience direct impartial teachings,
and take up the wisdom after the sacred ones who have come before,
attain a fearless confident death, and attain liberation.
