Dharma

In the Church of Reality dharma is the doing of doing. Each moment represents a choice that we make that affects the next moment. Your dharma is the course of your life based on these individual choices. One's life is the sum total of ones dharma. One's life is the integral of one's dharma. And one's dharma is the first derivative - (to use a calculus concept) of one's life. Dharma is the act of living. It's what you make of your life.

The dharma of the Church of Reality is the Sacred Missions. It is what we do together as a community.

Newsflash

The God who Wasn't There is a really great film that I highly recommend. I saw an early screening of it at Stanford and I loved it. It goes into the early history of Christianity to determine if the character Jesus ever actually existed. I was surprised to find that much of the Jesus story was already in fiction for hundreds of years before Jesus was supposedly born. This is a documentary of how the Jesus myth was created and how little today's Christians know about the history of their own religion. Here's a really great Trailer for the movie. (18mb Quicktime format)

Most Atheists like myself have generally believed that the story of Jesus was at least based on some real events, some popular preacher that may have really existed and was later turned into a supernatural figure by his followers. But it is becoming clear to me that Jesus is total fiction and the stories are adapted from the fiction of the time. I recommend this film to everyone. It gives you a LOT to think about.
