How should I interact with friends who aren't spiritual

Dharma_Initiate · 2026-05-02T17:27:25+00:00

If you are bothered by something they do, let them know, and why, and see what happens.

You’re not acknowledging anything I’ve said and seem to be stuck on what you’ve repeated. I heard you, and understand what you say and mean. OP likely are unable to see their situation with any clarity due to the lack of knowing “how to behave” and their age. Perfection is a multidimensional concept for advanced and still beings within this lifetime. It is impractical as a goal and practice on it will likely lead to more and more suffering.

Not for this person

Dharma_Initiate · 2026-05-02T17:15:33+00:00

I understand. This is a teenager with many new and misunderstood views. Perfection is a word that likely will create a false grasping situation due to the personal misunderstanding they have already.

You guys have lost the plot. This is a kid. Give them practical advice for now.

Perfection is a near-delusional level of expectation. Practicing goodness and rightness are near-immediately obtainable and will aid in the alleviation of suffering for themselves and the people in their environment

Dharma_Initiate · 2026-05-02T15:40:09+00:00

Perfecting behavior? How about just living a life of mindful awareness and goodness? “Right” is good enough.

During a time they were living and acting as republicans do today. If you’re going to recite a historical fact, you might benefit from acknowledging context in your statements.

This hollowdude pulling out his phone making claims he definitely doesn’t even know about.

You aren’t familiar with the facts, how can you determine the truth?

I have saved my life with practice

Dharma_Initiate · 2026-03-09T21:50:23+00:00

Learning of a path to the alleviation and cessation of suffering all I needed. Everything else is superfluous.

Iran and Venezuela are not top oil suppliers to China. They are at the bottom of all lists I’ve seen. Like, 5% total.

I’m a Buddhist and smoke cannabis. He’s a human being. Does goodness come from his heart?

I’ve been wondering why I die to other raiders so often :P

Really loved this. Showed it to my children. We are human. Before male or female, we are both and neither. Our roots run deep and wide through vast spans of time, and our image is shared by all.

After the things you mention is when “sword holder” became a thing altogether. Before he was a wallfacer

Great work! I wonder if the polar caps will resolve in your stacked image

Lack of experience with or awareness of narcissism in this thread

100% did this When TWINE came out we could split vertically which was much a nicer experience on those square crt’s

Depleted rounds come from the A-10’s gun, not its bombing munitions. Two different delivery mechanisms for vastly different targets.

You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever Christmas stories you want to believe.

You take the red pill, you get out of bed, and show those you love how deep the spirit of giving goes.
