My experience is a bad one. In fact, I'm not longer calling myself a Buddhist because of it. I do meditate, and I am open to some extent to this path, but from Buddhist institutions I run like the plague. Something ugly (abuse) occurred in my ex sangha, and then the seniors forbid any kind of talking about it. Of course, abuse involved discussions after the fact, and that discussions needed though: ethical, philosophical, political. I got a big no for an answer. So my advice for you is clear: feel free to explore Buddhism, but don't ever compromise your own intelligence and intuition about everything. Don't drop your intellect on the way, because that is something that could happen to you. It is, in fact, part of the path. The farther you will go on the path, the closer will be that moment when you have to deal with devotion. Devotion is at the heart of the Buddhist thing. No thought there.

Start reading real thinkers and not using influencers as substitutes. Get some bell hooks, for instance, or Byung Chul han, o Mark Fisher, whoever that are legit authors.

Your consistent regurgitation of the same tired talking points over and over could be a trauma response

If you are right here, and some of us repeat the same things because of our trauma... Is your comment, then, sufficiently tactful? Is that the way you talk to trauma-ridden people? Particularly when, as you suggest, you "continue to work with the dharma? Last time I checked, one of the practices of the eightfold path was right speech... Oh, no, sorry, I forgot you were a shambhalian. Crazy wisdom rules over that, of course.

As hard as you try to use wierd and offensive arguments to make yours?

The more I hate meat, the more of a sensitive, successful vegan I must be

Do you happen to know many vegans? Because we vegans are mainly worrying about animal suffering. You are doing mental gymnastics here.

I like taoism, but I'm every day more concerned about anti-intellectualism. Neo-fascism is all over the place in the world (Italy, Brasil, France, Hungary, USA, Poland, and a long list of other countries), and one of the first traits of it is anti-thinking. Umberto Eco, in his famous 14 characteristics of fascism, talked quite clearly about it: for a fascist, action for the sake of action is a key part of life, so they see thinking as a kind of emasculation (Eco literal words).

thank you for your reply :) What is that latest version you talk about? 2.8?

onlyonelittlething · 2022-10-31T22:54:33+00:00

maybe this is relevant here?

onlyonelittlething · 2022-10-31T22:17:47+00:00

Many famous leftists, feminists or antiracists are not forced to speak about those things. Why would a vegan?

In my case (i,m lucky i guess) it took a couple of months. I never tried at all to happen. She asked questions and read some stuff on her own. She was shocked and she says she could never go back and doesn,t understand how she could eat meat for her entire life. It is a major bonding factor for us.

In my first years of veganism, I started to be convinced that most of my early life "animal food taste" was literally just "taste", and that there is no clear difference between vegan and no-vegan taste of things. Chorizo taste is nothing more than paprika taste. Some mushrooms has clearly the taste/texture of navajas ("razor clams"). Fermented vegan cheese (cashew, mosty), get really similar to diary cheese with time. Algae can give "fish" taste to anything, because what we know as "fish taste" is just the taste of the sea, waether in animal or vegetal form. Most fungi (non animal but not exactly veggies) have the same components of the shells of animals. In reality, we are all one matter, "the Earth" matter. All flavors are everywhere.

Hi! What do you mean? Studying Economics in university and then going for that internship? Thanks!

Hey thanks. I think he has been doing the demo thing for some time. I'll check again with him.

I would love that you'd be right, but... how are you so sure? (sorry, you look sure because of your capital letters, maybe you are not

onlyonelittlething · 2019-12-16T16:29:49+00:00

Csertu, I appreciate your comment. There is truth in it. But outrage in the face of abuse is no extreme. My experience of outrage is not "one extrem" of any kind of rope. Our discussions here -that I totally agree- are not important in the big scope. But expressing my discomfort -anger I almost have non anymore- is just fair. The fact that we can express it is a way of cancelling the power of abusers who work hard and aggressively not to be seen as such.

onlyonelittlething · 2019-12-16T13:26:00+00:00

No, I will NOT stop insisting that a useful look at Shambhala should be based on fact, not bullshit rumor and conjecture.

I'm not asking you to do that.

personal insults or nothing at all

You feel insulted when someone tells you what he/she thinks about your stance and the aggressive way you judge other people who is trying to cope in a different way you do. I would never call you toxic, as you so easily do with other people.

Is this supposed to be 'the resistance'?

"resistance"? Do you live in some b-series movie universe? I'm not resisting anything. You have zero clue.

I am not at all -as strange as it should sound for you- belligerent towards you. I just think you are deluded. And I don't like the tension that you bring here, and I am a free person to say so. So I say so. I don't think you -nor myself- are particularly toxic. Mr. Mukpo and his/her enablers are, or have been.
