the happy mzfit
There is life beyond texting, ghosting, tweeting and scrolling.
Aspire to be carefree like the mzfit depicted in the banner above—and listen again, and again to teachings on the art of meditation. If you know how to laugh at yourself and practice meditation with firm resolve, you can become an extraordinarily ordinary human; and no longer slave to your phone.
Discover the joy of yogis who abide in recognition of the mind’s true nature which is supremely blissful. To be free of clinging to a wrong view of oneself and others— what joy!!!
Befriend your mind, the ultimate bestie

As a remedy to the selfie syndrome and dystopian currents of this era, Khachod Dechenling offers dharma teachings that differ radically in method and intent from mindfulness apps and spa-like retreats. Dharma is popularly understood as “truth.” Dharma also signifies “phenomena” and how we “hold” or “perceive” phenomena.
We study and practice dharma to liberate ourselves from the antics of the unexamined mind. The mind’s running commentary about everything dictates our happiness and sorrow, eclipsing basic sanity. Therefore, happy mzfits-in-training develop stamina and skillful means to:
Cut through self-deception
Reduce attachment (and aversion) to people, places and things
See what’s funny about a problem
Conquer negativity
Remain alert and at ease
Unlock the treasure of contentment
Actualize bodhicitta, the heart of the awakened mind
Go beyond hope and fear
To be a mzfit in this crazy world makes sense.
mzfit. (noun)
1. a non-conformist; 'z’ in the spelling cuts through the self-conscious “i” and represents every gender.
2. someone who thinks outside the box (or aspires to); is predisposed to looking inward and exploring matters of the mind and heart.
3. a loner; may be spiritual but not “religious.”
N. L. Drolma has observed that many dharma practitioners are mzfits.

Row your boat gently down the stream and let humor, and a heart of dharma, rule the day.
