Re: What documentary are you watching?
Such an ethnically diverse country.
Had to watch this in spurts due to interrupts @Shoshin1. It was amazing, the diversity of cultures/languages etc. Great history of part of the Silk Road used by Marco Polo but from the Chinese perspective. Brief mention of the introduction of Buddhism, remnants of Persian Islam and Zoroastrian religions. May watch the next part of the journey into Xizang/Tibet/Trump Highlands (or whatever name they are festering over) ...

Re: What documentary are you watching?
I watched about 15 minutes of the docu, @Shoshin1 … enough to get an impression of what it was like there. It’s tragic, and it makes me unhappy to see it, although I felt the docu also shows a bit of what ordinary life still goes on there, the little market stalls that have sprung up.

Re: Kindness is Contagious
The loudest Buddhist chanting I have been to was the Nichiren mantra being played at very high volume through speakers. 
The Christians now are rescuing their organs.
Maybe the Heavy metal Buddhists (eg @Linc) would be interested in a new project, with 'Plague of Bodhi' (not yet available).
Is that the wrong kind of kind? Ah Well! I will be sitting in the quiet corner with the tone deafened...
