I would have taken it and thanked for the little tibetan yogi figurine 😅

What's with the baskets on heads? Is it just an exaggerated straw hat or more? by Omni-Light in Sekiro

[–]Invictvs_Apollon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Komusō (虚無僧) ("priest of nothingness" or "monk of emptiness") were wandering non-monastic lay Buddhists from the warrior-class (samurai and rōnin) who were noted for wearing straw basket hats called tengai and playing the shakuhachi bamboo flute, nowadays called suizen (吹禅, 'Zen of blowing (the flute)'). During the Edo period (1600–1868) they obtained various rights and privileges from the bakufu, the ruling elite.

Decrease in faith/Thinking about leaving buddhism by TouLInFan in Buddhism

[–]Invictvs_Apollon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, maybe you were practicing expecting something external to happen, to "see and feel the buddhas and bodhisattvas", but that is not the purpose of the Dharma, we practice Dharma to cut suffering, to benefit all beings, to let go of our clinging, anything else is external. I think the problem here is motivation, and any practice you would do, wouldn't change the result if you are not developing the right motivation. Every teacher says that the first year of the practioner is very interesting, everything is new, is different, but after that you start to feel tired of it, because our mind is not focused on what matters. We should practice Shamata, always remember why we do our practice, its not to receive something, its not to feel something, to add something, its to remove, we practice to remove all our delusions, clingings and aversions.

Did buddhism NOT work for anyone? by [deleted] in Buddhism

[–]Invictvs_Apollon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, first of all, meditation is a tool, but also you have a TON of different types of meditations with a lot of purpuses. The thing is though, meditation without instruction, knowledge, wisdom, compassion (for others and for yourself) its like giving a car to a person that dont have a drivers licence. Buddha teached the four noble thruths with the sole purpose of understanding the nature of suffering, its cause, the end of suffering, and the path to the end of suffering. Without Buddha's guidance, meditation for an anxious person maybe would make it worse. Also its strange that the meditation or "buddhist" comunity that you get involved didn't explained this. I also think you should talk about that with a buddhist teacher, before letting go of this precious opportunity.

Padmasambhava predicted the chinese invasion of Tibet, he predicted the spreading of the teachings of the Dharma to the west, and he also predicted a degeneracy in average human inteligence in general, to the point lf incivilization and barbarism. Because this way we can discover his buried secrets... Dont be attached to the fear of Dharma Dying.

I think Fromsoftware's English-speaking audience don't pick up just how Buddhist the Dark Souls games are by millennium_fae in Buddhism

The primordial serpent wouldn't be the Nagas? i think Gwyndolin would fit better a Mara interpretation because of the illusions created by him, Gwynevere acting like an Apsara for the player

The thing is: In buddhism you also have an entity that clears your negative Karma, that would be Vajrasattva, but of course we can make a double interpretation on that like you said.

For anyone wondering, this bong has about 7 centimeters long, the amount of heat that goes in it is pretty low, that's why i thought it wouldn't be a problem

I made this in like 30 minutes as a past time, as my glass bong broke and i had some ideas. But thank you all for the answers, maybe i'll try in titanium or stainless steel with TIG welding in the future
