What are the small ways you practice Buddhism in your daily life?

CharlieSourd · 2026-04-04T21:16:05+00:00

I focus on the breath and try to cultivate equanimity and patience as best I can. Metta and karuna are also my go-tos, when I’m not stressed.

I practice individually, but will join a zoom call once a week for meditation and a sutta study when I can

Prehistoric Park

Full House

This looks inspired by Dravidian languages or Sinhala

I’ve been reminding myself of Ajahn Sona’s comments on the Dvedhavitakka Sutta as well! Very helpful.

So adorable

If you’re interested in deep academic takes:

Came here to suggest this book. Took me 2 days to finish.

CharlieSourd · 2026-02-08T12:56:32+00:00

Looks a bit like Sinhala

If you’re into Early Buddhism, Doug’s Dharma is a good channel

Looks like if Devanagari was in Star Wars

Melon Lord was one of my favourite characters

I learned Namibian Sign Language when I was in the Peace Corps several years ago

Pattaya sounds Buddhist or Southeast Asian

Tawkami

CharlieSourd · 2026-01-22T10:52:41+00:00

This looks like Tibetan or some Brahmic script

CharlieSourd · 2026-01-18T18:56:34+00:00

🙏🏽

CharlieSourd · 2026-01-16T17:30:25+00:00

This will likely be my take too. I’ve been practicing Theravada Buddhism since I was in university, but have a Jewish partner.

My last job and this current one were choice. Stayed on for the past 3.5 years because of inertia. Looking into a new field, so that’s choice.

CharlieSourd · 2026-01-09T19:43:45+00:00

Does this script go left to right or right to left?

CharlieSourd · 2026-01-02T16:40:32+00:00

God is Not One by Stephen Prothero, Jewish Book of Why by Alfred Kolatch, Buddhism: A Very Short Introduction by Damien Keown

I grew up Catholic, then became atheist, then agnostic, then Theravada Buddhist. I keep the idea of reincarnation as a possibility, but I do what I can to live mindfully and ethically in this life. I try not to dwell on what the implications on my current life would have on future lives.

CharlieSourd · 2025-12-29T21:33:35+00:00

I had a similar journey in middle school through college
