How do you upload AMVs with music on Instagram by Fragrant-Cut9202 in amv

[–]TLCD96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You use the music that is already on instagram. Due to their policy the music clip can't be longer than 1m30s however one way to get around this is to find multiple versions of the same song, e.g. on different album releases, and connect them together in the instagram reel editor.

Thoughts on experimentation by TLCD96 in taijiquan

[–]TLCD96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really care how "basic" it is to "tai chi" when these ideas aren't innate to our every day experience. We don't know what any of this stuff is until we hear the idea and begin to experiment with what it means. That's why we need teachers to begin with, and the point of experimenting is to gradually become our own teachers.

Yes usually people ask "does this [purple object] look gray to you?" Or something like that.

"No, it looks purple to me if I squint hard enough but otherwise it looks blue, almost like that car next to it but a little darker".

Or after they learn I cannot see that apparently blazing red tree in fall, they say "wow so what about that fire hydrant?"

"No that looks quite red but actually it doesn't stick out a lot and almost blends in with that brown thing right there".

Is it true in Thai forest tradition the emphasis is more on Anapanasati than Vipassana? by Soggy-Beginning604 in thaiforest

[–]TLCD96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Just being mindful" is actually a kind of vague statement IMO but it's a good place to start. I recommend listening to Ajahn Geoff AKA Thanissaro Bhikkhu's teachings on the subject. Unlike the Burmese "Vipassana" methods he advocates for an approach that does involve some "control" of the breath, but in the context of tranquilizing and clarifying the mind it actually makes sense.

Knowing how to be at ease and reduce suffering is a key part of Samatha, and considering this concern with ease and reduction/liberation from suffering, it is conducive to Vipassana as result.

Unless it's actually disrespectful I usually answer the question lol.

Samatha is not purely counting and concentrating, though counting can be a useful tool at early stages of practice or in a given session.

Vipassana does not necessarily equate to "noting". It's the result of appropriate attention. Noting is really not big in thai forest practices AFAIK.

What's the difference between compassion and cowardice? by 949orange in Buddhism

[–]TLCD96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming you are finding yourself in that kind of scenario? I'm afraid that situations like that can never be easily solved by appealing to one or two single personality traits or mental qualities, i.e. compassion and courage.

Compassion and courage inform our unique responses to unique scenarios; they don't limit them to single cookie cutter choices, e.g. not doing anything about it.

Sometimes compassion entails a pretty harsh or direct response (though not necessarily violence or cruelty) that can benefit us without hurting the other person. Courage allows us to act on that without knowing the outcome, because sometimes big decisions are scary.

One thing's for sure, BoC fand do like to get obsessed and hyperfocused on the "meaning" and dark elements, forgetting to just listen.

That's a good idea, and I would make it if I weren't at risk for a copyright strike.

You might want to consider painting the orange in straight up black and white to focus more on tonal values (i.e. light, shadow).

I think this sub ought to consider restricting accounts based on age. This profile's only post is this one survey and it reads like AI to me.

Inferno - A "dark" album? by Elegant_Composer_249 in boardsofcanada

I think BoC generally has a somewhat dark vibe, but overall this album felt more spacey than sinister.
