I feel the debate @federica mentioned, especially Stephen Fry's speech very interesting for its transformative effect.
Celebrities do have a platform, and the best of them do try to use it …

Aṅgulimāla who had killed 99 people before meeting Buddha ...

Ya know, for someone who is so open and honest about their mental issues

I think there are times when it is ok to have an opinion even if you don't belong to that faith.
For example surely I can condemn the systematic abuse of children by the clergy in the catholic church. Not being a catholic shouldnt exclude me from …
Do you think its fairer or more reasonable for somebody to speak either positively or negatively about their own faith/ politics but not on other peoples beliefs?( Natalie Portman is Israeli and has Jewish background ).
What's your take on what is …

I remember sending you that one by Celia Cruz a few months ago, @Hozan
☺️👍
You certainly did. Great song. Thank you so much for sharing. ☺👍
To clarify why I use the word human rather than man for the buddha is because its the human condition that counts. Transcending the human condition knows no boundaries of gender or any other kind. The buddha was a man of course but more importantly …

In the case of Ted Bundy, I think the argument could be made that deep down, he was actually miserable. Regret and remorse are cruel tormentors. Or perhaps he was 'dead inside', as they say. Either way, I wouldn't want to peer ins…

As far as the Buddha is concerned, perhaps he would find a way to make him serve the common good. He might have made a go…

@Hozan DJ Shadow is pretty good, but I like Emancipator and Pretty Lights a little bit better.

I have a mindful monitor attached to my belt everyday ( similar in size and shape to a pedometer for measuring steps).
Yesterday the monitor exploded. I was lucky to avoid injury but the question remains...did it explode from mindfulness or mindles…

My favourite piece of music ever....insight, foresight, more sight, the clock on the wall reads a quarter past midnight. .
A masterpiece from start to finish.

I find the test far more accurate.
