According to Lama Marut, an ex-Venice Beach surfer and professor of Religious Studies at UC Riverside, Dharma tweets are sweet…
With his account on Twitter, Lama Sumati Marut helps his followers stay mindful of how to be happy with his free daily “Dharma Twitters.”
While the title of this piece overstates it, I’ve found Twitter to be surprisingly powerful. It’s an interesting practice; being limited to 140 characters describing “what is happening now.” Give it a try.

I really enjoy getting Venerable Marut’s Twitter updates – they shake up my samsaric day and remind me of what’s really important!
