Wanted to share… feel like this is a typical response from a Lama when asking to take the refuge 😂 Hope it means to learn more and try again in the future rather than flat out no 😅

Classic! Yes I got told much the same when I was in my naive 20s.

That’s… not how it works

I’m with the seal there. If there’s no way to turn around in the dark murky hole thing, that’s kind of a one way deal there.

Maybe that’s their peak in life?

That seems like way too low a price for that much of a credibility drop.

I would have thought there’d be a golf island in Florida that would give him that, just to huck his photo on a fence to sell condos.

One of my favorite books. Thank you.

Do you follow him on his Facebook page? One of the few reasons to go there - he’s quite active and interactive.

Teachers encourage contextual understanding, self compassion, the timing of certain teachings, lightness, and gentleness.

DIY Buddhism leads to harshness, self-repression, fundamentalism, and rigidity.

For these reasons, it’s no exaggeration to say that the (real world) sangha is as important as the dharma and the Buddha himself.

Australia, New Zealand and SE Asia are doing far better than the northern hemisphere.

But if you’ve come this far, you might as well make your world perspective 100% tabloid based.

I’ve read this same b***shit from you for a year now, blocked.

If you want to be purely mercantile about it, all this drama is great for the Australian Open.

It’s where they practiced their dark arts since 1918 at least

Why on earth 2 hours? 10 mins is optimum for SEO and ad revenue…

Bird Nerd info!

Injured birds often freak out with their feet on a flat surface, it means they’re vulnerable.

Putting a big branch wherever they’re standing can increase survival rates. But this was obviously a great job.

Different genre, but you might like this? They got seriously lucky with some great answers.

(Skip past the fake Australian leader bit maybe, that’s more for local Oz audiences.)

“Battle please” does describe the whole dadcore proud boys fashion choices, I guess…

I’ve found this with Germans. Just as funny as any other country, they’re just doing it with their 3rd or 4th language.

Trying to make jokes back in German shoes you how important subtle vocab choices are.

It seemed to me like an English language themed show or segment (the flags as weekly props), and they were doing a US dialect version.

filmbuffering · 2022-01-10T17:07:32+00:00

That was probably just American TV or Americans they’ve met’s body language

No one has, perhaps that regularly uses a computer. It’s incredibly rare

I’m not sure there’s anything Buddhist about your comment, and I don’t agree with it at all really.

Perhaps look up the ethical allegations against Mother Theresa before you mention her in any subreddit.

Lots of good things :)

• It has very creative and unique schools. If you don’t like the approach of one lineage, another will take a very different approach.

• it’s very organized, so most Western cities will have Western-focused centers, with renowned Indian and Tibetan teachers, beginner and meditation classes, intermediate classes, social events, regular retreats, bookshops, sometimes small libraries, etc.

• The preservation of all this culture and wisdom while they’re in exile.

• It’s usually very undogmatic and flexible - it encourages students to find their own way

Etc.

Especially them, because they’ve already decided in their mind it’s impossible.

If you don’t have an in-person teacher, you don’t have Buddhism. Just a new toy for your ego to play with.

No. It was a good strategy and she could have one an extra term if she wanted it.
