About Urban Dharma

"I created 'Urban Dharma' a few years ago to help folks in the West feel comfortable with Buddhism... I had a vision of what Buddhism could be in the West and I started putting articles I found interesting on the Internet and called it 'Kusala.org'... As time went on, the domain name Kusala.org seemed a bit to personal and private for the kind of web site it was becoming... That's when I came up with the name 'Urban Dharma'... Some really good articles are found on small personal web sites and when they go dark, the articles are lost forever... Urban Dharma over the years has become sort of a Western Buddhist archive... I added a smattering of inter-religious articles to help Buddhists feel comfortable with unity and diversity… Which mirrors my own life and practice as a Buddhist monk in the West... I work on Urban Dharma everyday-- adding, changing, formatting, fine tuning... It's become part of my Buddhist practice." - Peace, Kusala Bhikshu
