Hi,
My name is Ryan, and I'm currently living in the middle of nowhere in Northwest Arkansas. I used to be fairly active on E-Sangha (though I couldn't remember my username for the life of me), but slowly grew more and more distanced from the Dharma as I finished college, eventually leaving it altogether. Lately though, I've had this funny feeling, finding myself drawn into zen practice almost like a gravitational force-so here I am.
Have a great day!

Hi Ryan,
Welcome to DharmaWheel. I hope you find what you seek. I just looked up your town and... yeah, you're pretty isolated alright. Enjoy the board!

Re: Hello all
If you're interested there's a Nyingma retreat center in NW Arkansas. Your proximity is either a weird coincidence or you might just have some karmic connection. It's not as if Arkansas is known for having lots of buddhist centers.

I haven't been there, but a buddy of mine loved it.

1.The problem isn’t ‘ignorance’. The problem is the mind you have right now. (H.H. Karmapa XVII @NYC 2/4/18)
2. I support Mingyur R and HHDL in their positions against lama abuse.
3. Student: Lama, I thought I might die but then I realized that the 3 Jewels would protect me.
Lama: Even If you had died the 3 Jewels would still have protected you. (DW post by Fortyeightvows)

Thank you so much! I have been looking for any center but no luck so far. Excellent - checking it out. -dwsmcj wrote:If you're interested there's a Nyingma retreat center in NW Arkansas.
