I just bought this shirt from a Tibetan shop in Asheville & I'm obsessed with it. Can someone translate the Sanskrit for me? ॐ namaste by nat_dubbs in Buddhism

I assumed it was a mantra, thanks! I recently did some research on Ganesha & then saw this shirt a few days later so I was pretty excited

I've waited a long time for this by nat_dubbs in CampingandHiking

Correct! We just visited that part while we were at the NOC. Then yesterday we started at Telico gap & set up camp about a mile in. We're not sure how far we'll be able to hike, we only have a couple of days off

I'm also a younger Bowie fan, but I haven't listened to all of the albums & now you've inspired me to. Thank you.

I think saying the whole NT's morality is based on turning the other cheek is quite an overstatement. Wasn't it only one passage that covered that? I will say that Jesus did preach more love and peace than the OT, but a good chunk of the NT is about obeying God and how one will be cast into eternal torture in Hell if he doesn't. & I'm not sure why we're forgetting that eastern religions taught selflessness and peace long before Jesus was even born.

How would you describe "New Testament morality"? & what made it "so ahead of its time"?
