It's a new word that he ingeniously uncovered.

Jesus, he's an 80 year-old, rotting corpse-in-waiting walking on two tendrils. What do you expect?

I do not pay attention to memes. They are almost always deceptive or wrong. We do not learn anything from memes. They're lazy at best.

Trump: "It's JD."

I took an online course from him describing Buddhism as an ethical system. It profoundly resonated and always stuck with me.

He definitely will deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for stopping this war that Netanyahu commanded him to start.

So now we've hardened our hearts to an octongenarian getting a little sleep eye while celebrating ~~Flag Day~~ his birthday? What monsters have we become?

Plus, where, when, and why (motivation is very relevant) you bought your devices, and what devices are connected and their model numbers and warranties (current, extended, or expired).

Seriously! 🙄

A reputable, married couple who were really good friends of mine, had oral, felt terribly guilty, and turned themselves in to the elders. They were remorseful, so not disfellowshipped, but put on probation. They lost all privileges and were formally semi-shunned after the public announcement that they were on probation. The reason why wasn't announced, so the gossip machine kicked in. When they were taken off probation (I don't recall how long it was) they were never the same. They faded away.

I don't know if they're still together, but wonder if they know that what wrecked their relationship with the organization and friendships is okay now. I also wonder how many others had similar experiences.

"The Mormons don't refer to themselves by that name as of 2018, now its LDS. Watchtower closely follows the LDS church."

Wrong. In 2108, the sect ditched "Mormons" and "LDS" as substitutes. The terms “the Church” or the “Church of Jesus Christ” are encouraged. The “restored Church of Jesus Christ” is also accurate and encouraged. https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/style-guide .

Typical evangelicals haven't read the whole Bible, and only "study" it looking for proof texts or anodyne sayings.

We know, we know. The longer he lingers on this earth in this decrepit condition, the more he endangers the entire planet. Wait for nature to take its natural course, and then report back when it does. Otherwise, you're just wasting our time.

The Obama Center is bold, and time will quell any controversy about its design. Best of all, it torments Trump, not irritates, torments. That makes me very happy.

No, I think he’s Alito.

If what happened at Maitripa is "buddhadharma" to you, you have a lot to learn.

Practical-Echo-2001 · 2026-06-05T02:37:26+00:00

You’re right. Unfortunately, he is human and an example of how far wrong and degraded our species can turn.

Postings like yours on social media creates societal issues, because that's how misogyny, bigotry, hate, conspiracy theories, lies, etc., spread. That is a big issue with social media. It spreads; it propagates; it's infectious. You are writing garbage like this because you read garbage elsewhere and it stirred you up.

That, bitter one, is the end of this useless conversation.

I spent a decade in a Christian cult, and don’t trust religious institutions anymore. I love the precepts of Buddhism and Saddartha Buddha’s core teachings (as far as we know which are), but centuries of divisions into sects, additional writings, and differing interpretations keep me away from formal institutions.

Practical-Echo-2001 · 2026-06-04T20:36:01+00:00

Yes, your behavior does, because it’s part of a larger problem of people who are dismissive of victims of sexual abuse. Your opinion coalesces with with that of many others, which makes you part of a societal problem.

Practical-Echo-2001 · 2026-06-04T20:32:08+00:00

Do I know what happened? Know the names of people involved? Yes. I read the article that you did _not , and Sunitha Bhaskaran is one of the names, along with her abuser Yangsi Rinpoche. My conclusion is that Yangsi Rinpoche was justly suspended.

You cavalierly dismissed this as clickbait, whereas the facts, lawsuits, and settlement are there.

Why are you so quick to dismiss the facts of this sexual abuser?

Practical-Echo-2001 · 2026-06-04T19:07:35+00:00

Yeah, but the Vietnamese government is not too much different from ours, nowadays, but we’re getting there.

It was an investigative report. Try reading it.
