Dharma

“… In the Western Baul Way the terms “the Teaching” and “the Dharma” are used interchangeably to refer to the perennial teaching which abides as objective truth or reality as it is found in the great spiritual traditions of the world, both ancient and contemporary. The Dharma or the Teaching also refers to the written or spoken teaching of an individual spiritual master, or the philosophical argument of a spiritual way.”

Lee Lozowick had a natural ability to communicate dharma with a contemporary savvy, speaking to all aspects of life experienced by human beings in today’s world. In this way, dharma is not just a religious term but is about living itself.

The dharma is both universal and personal for each individual; it guides our way of life and teaches us to manifest our highest individual aspirations and intention for good.  

The aspect of dharma that is unique to you as an individual arises from the deepest core of your being. In this sense, dharma is a calling of your essential, inherent nature, qualities, or propensity. Aligning one’s life with dharma creates harmony and well-being.

Lee often expressed his resonance with the devotional traditions of India, particularly of the Bauls of Bengal. His life and teachings were a blend of ecstatic joy, humor, worship, work and service to the guru (as embodied in all of life) in the context of human relationship and spiritual practice.  It is a path that affirms the inner experience of longing for the mystical Beloved, spoken of by poets, which produces an alchemical fuel for our (at times difficult and challenging) work of personal transformation.

Complimentary to this, the way of the Bauls in the West includes an emphasis on dharma literature, poetry, music and writing as a form of spiritual practice.
