Dharmapocalypse is an experimental project exploring and encouraging dharma practice—the search for meaning, freedom, and enlightenment—in our modern, particularly American, culture.
“Dharmapocalypse” is a combination of the Sanskrit word “dharma” and the English word “apocalypse”. Dharma can mean one’s place or role in society, a spiritual path or practice, teachings, law, phenomena, truth, or reality. Buddhist practitioners often talk about practicing the dharma, the path to liberation. Apocalypse comes from the original Greek “apocalypsis”, which means to uncover or reveal. The apocalyptic literature tradition, not exclusive to Christianity, is characterized by a call to live-up to the essence of one’s spiritual path. Together, “Dharmapocalypse” means to uncover or reveal reality. It is a clarion call to wake up to and embody in your life what is authentic, liberating, and true.
