Greetings, A nice video, done by Candace Owens and Dave Rubin about a chapter from his book "Don’t Burn This Book” It's about the experiential impacts of being attacked and exiled by the intolerant social justice mob, and why not to let their tyrannical "book burning" attitude force you to submit t...

The suttas don't discuss such worldly, political issues directly. The brahma viharas and metta is extended "boundless" to all beings, suggesting no borders, but of course it's not necessarily a political statement. Yes indeed the suttas don't discuss such worldly, political issues directly, but as ...

I agree that monks should refrain from commenting on worldly affairs, even more so from proposing worldly solutions, because it amounts to politicizing Buddhism. Ven. Sujato goes full-tilt Marxist-Commie here, exhorting twice to take the money from the billionaires (which also sounds antisemitic :mr...

A number of participants to this forum regularly mention 'The Globalist Agenda' or 'The Globalist Deep State' as some sort of nefarious, shadowy entity responsible for much of the ills of humanity. A quick analysis showed me that Globalism is to be understood as the antithesis of Nationalism, which ...

Giving any amount of credit to Mike Pompeo reveals a deep ignorance that strongly highlights the need for Buddhists to disengage from political partisanship altogether. But at the same time, such ignorance makes it unlikely this advice will be heeded, which means ignorance will only be multiplied an...

Biden or whatever fantasy you seem to entertain about him being in cahoots with the CCP. To correct myself, there seems to be an actual story behind this, with China rooting for Biden, given they certainly don't appreciate Trump's trade war. Nothing out of the ordinary. So that image could be seen ...

Thanks! This short story is more like a pilot for a series of short stories. Perhaps it would rather be made into a TV series or animation if I do complete the sequels. I tried to bring some cyberpunk vibes with a pinch of Buddhism into the Orion's arm project. They have certainly the best world-bui...
