Leah Pearlman started drawing comics as a way to connect with herself and those closest to her. When she discovered that others found them healing and endearing, she started gifting them. Slowly at first, now far and wide. In recent years many people have asked to use Dharma Comics on their blog or website, to help illustrate a talk they are giving or an article they are writing, or to augment teaching materials about vulnerability, meditation, self-love, emotional literacy, and more. Several books have now been published featuring Dharma Comics illustrations.
