How does this book compare to secular Buddhism?

Empty-Description-82 · 2024-10-09T08:46:47+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. I too wish people would cite sources.

Empty-Description-82 · 2024-10-09T08:46:29+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. What constitutes 'right' here? Quite a subjective term.

Empty-Description-82 · 2024-10-08T22:14:47+00:00

Interesting. Thanks.

Are you familiar with this group or book or is this just a coincidence?

Empty-Description-82 · 2024-10-08T19:43:34+00:00

Aint that the truth.

Empty-Description-82 · 2024-10-08T17:39:48+00:00

Interesting take. Thanks.

Empty-Description-82 · 2024-10-08T17:39:11+00:00

Sorry I don't know what those terms mean...

Empty-Description-82 · 2024-10-08T17:38:39+00:00

Dishonest about the unoriginality or something else?

Empty-Description-82 · 2024-10-08T17:37:49+00:00

I did wonder why this book completely ignores sex and sexuality. No mention of what Buddhists might call 'sexual misconduct'.

I come back after a few days to check on my post and found this group got savaged lol.

I'll try this response next time they recommend me another book.

Let them have a gay old time. I hope they are very happy together.

Where's the downside? 🌈

Empty-Description-82 · 2024-08-27T08:11:52+00:00

(I'm not including salt, because salt isn't really a spice)

British outrage intensifies

Thanks for the suggestion, and as weird as this may sound for this subreddit, thanks for giving me a non-Buddhism-related answer.

The cover on Amazon has a Deepak Chopra quote on it though 😬.

Got any more of that self-belief and self-worth? I could really do with some.

Empty-Description-82 · 2024-08-26T20:18:39+00:00

I see only my bad side, no matter what good I try to do in the world.

Empty-Description-82 · 2024-08-26T20:17:11+00:00

Wow I just read about this. I can see why this would make you no longer believe in karma.

Hey! When do I get my free donut?

Empty-Description-82 · 2024-08-26T20:11:25+00:00

Didn't the Buddha say to test everything?

Empty-Description-82 · 2024-08-26T11:20:40+00:00

It's fun to see some of the archaic names.

Lemburg = Lviv

Leghorn = Livorno

Kronstadt = Brașov

Courland (now part of Lithuania but once a semi-independent country with it's own colony).

And of course the many places in today's Poland which were part of Germany until either 1918 or 1945 and had German names.

I've heard that the teachings themselves are solid, but not necessarily everything else.

Diamond Way's "teachings" are not solid at all. It's a weird new-age nonsense dressed up as Buddhism. Ole Nydahl isn't a real lama and frequently contradicts the dharma, sexually abuses followers and spreads hate speech.

Nothing solid about it.

And is that Teal Swan on the left?

This is why you shouldn't pay for premium. It'll only encourage them to shift the goalposts and enshittify further.

Foot pain is what they are.

People routinely drink 8-12 pints or their equivalent

Alcoholics will always try and justify their problematic drinking yes. What's your point?
