Re: My Dharma practice today
I was just looking at Facebook the other day and I am following a Tara Brach page. Someone, a man, started doing a guided meditation (on the page) and was really interesting and relaxing

Re: "Buddha's Teachings" - in 1,000 years, how will they know?
Well in the short term we have to rely on the results of hard won practice. Enlightened bodhi. Enlightened body of dharma and a few nomadic synthetic zeniths and other Mahayana heretics.
Anyway I am off to the pure-lands to look for temporary perfects to Grok.

Re: Just for fun: the random, useless announcements thread!
Beautiful late Spring day...just off to protest outside our Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade buildings near the downtown ferry terminal... That's Rangitoto Island in the video. A dormant volcano, which if it decides to blow its top, it would take out most of Auckland city and the surrounding islands, including the one I live on....
Update...
Miscommunication about time and place....So I'm on the ferry home... There's always next week....

"Buddha's Teachings" - in 1,000 years, how will they know?
Thus have I heard:
Through realisation, as they have known throughout the millennia.
The Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path...
the nature of suffering and the way to its cessation.
We all stray from the path at times, and most of us come to see that we have.
Some realise it sooner than others, yet the light of awareness always finds its way through.

Maybe it'll be in a better state than Christianity?

Re: Meditation and mental health
Thanks Lobster for reminding me about Ayurvedic herbs šæ I used to take Ashwaganda for stress but Tulsi might be better for mood.
