I only managed just over a minute minute of listening. I got as far as the word feministic which I thought was made up?
All words are made up, 😋
Re: The importance of mudra in zazen
The reason I was given for the cosmic mudra is attention based. The teacher can see whether the bowl shape of the hands start to crumble as the student dozes off and the thumbs together are for the student to gauge their attentiveness. The thumbs are supposed to just barely touch. If they press too hard, we can adjust them accordingly. I was shown that we should be able to have a thin piece of rice paper between them with no real friction and the teacher could be able to snatch the paper with ease.
Re: New? Introduce Yourself to NB Members!
It’s a pity because there is a lot of Buddhist knowledge on the site, even though we largely talk about general things at the moment… when there is a Buddhist-related question, there is helpful advice.
But when we try to engage newbies in a conversation, they run away… we iz scary?

Re: What movies are you watching?
I've been watching a surreal Si Fi movie, I think it's called "This is Dystopia" ....Oh bugger! No wait...it turns out I've just been watching the mainstream news.

Re: Funny Stuff
The police officer knocks on the door.
Wife answers "Hello officer, is everything okay?"
Police officer "Hello mam, is this your husband ? the police officer shows the wife her husband's photo ID.
Wife "Yes it is"
Police officer "Sorry mam, it looks like your husband was hit by a bus."
Wife "I know, but it's not about looks, he has a great personality"

Re: Recently Learned...
That goes especially for that wierdo in the mirror.
Tee Hee!
That is the one I can not trust to have anything but opinions masquerading as wisdom. The worst thing is not knowing which side of the mirror I am in.
I think I might be in... nah we have AI to offer us a distorted reality these days...

Re: Just for fun: the random, useless announcements thread!
It's been a while.
Always.
Personally I am finding value in much not related to past holding dharma. Preparing for the Neo-religions and non Buddhist and other cults such as Tantra. Though that is likely to change at a moments notice due to too much time wasting...
Spending more time away from social media such as Mastodon and NewBuddhist
