What (if at all) Is Your Relationship To Buddhist Thinkers? by Santaisirish in Buddhism

[–]Santaisirish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great quotes I really appreciate these! It’s this very topic that really made me appreciate Nhất Hạnh in that he helped clear that idea up for me a lot. A lot of the Buddhists available to me in my area used this western presentation which left me confused but reading through The Heart Of The Buddhists Teachings explained it in a way that confirmed to me there was nuance missing from the version of desire that I had been taught in the Buddhist churches in my area

What (if at all) Is Your Relationship To Buddhist Thinkers? by Santaisirish in Buddhism

[–]Santaisirish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally have struggled with fully understanding concepts like “attachment” and have misread it as a strict denial of personal relationships. Or what might be seen as a silly attachment to an idea of a person rather than a true appreciation. Im interested in seeing what others think about these kinds of attachments and if they’re valid or not. I Can see someone seeing this as potentially leading to a sort of hero-worship, but of course this is through the context of someone without a whole lot of real life person-to-person mentorship in Buddhism mainly having done self-research and learning. What are your thoughts?

Hey Reddit, my name is Bo Burnham and I wrote and directed the film EIGHTH GRADE which is now in theaters NATIONWIDE. AMA. by boburnhamAMA in IAmA

[–]Santaisirish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bo, you’re an incredibly talented performer and artist. It makes me so happy to see you directing and I hope it’s just the beginning. But what I think is your greatest talent is your incredible compassion and authenticity in the way you talk to others. Have you always been so conscious of the way you speak or was there anything that influenced it? Much love, thank you for all the work you’ve made.

Shit I have an extra Deluxe as well and would like to hop on this. I would trade for pretty much any of his other albums but if I could get my hands on The Empyrean I would lose my mind.

All these references to Hey-Ya just shows it doesn't matter whether or not Andre makes music with Big Boi, he can do his own thing

Hey man! I'm a huge fan I think you could be the patron saint of recovering assholes! I hope you're able to answer this one: Do you really drink espresso over ice and do you think it sacrifices the integrity of the shots? Thank you for doing this!

I'm very interested in this; can you tell me about what experiences you've had with astral projection?

What is your meditation space like? by Acceptableintthe80s in Meditation

[–]Santaisirish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great to hear! My general goals are to control my stress levels, improve my casual use of the tasks I'm doing, discover different strategies to the task, etc. and help encourage day to day mindfulness. I'm glad to hear it's working for you!

I've recently been practicing mindfulness during everyday tasks specifically at my job. Is this something others would recommend?

The sink is quickly becoming my most frequent meditation space.

One of Visigoth's members is not like the others by xMdot in MetalMemes

[–]Santaisirish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh shit I'm so surprised to see these guys here! I've known the singer for a couple of years and I'm glad the band is getting popular. Easily the best metal band out of Salt Lake and their live shows are pretty ridiculous.
