I’m also hobbling @Lobster, due to walking too many hills while not used to it. Maybe we can do a hobbling competition…

This evening I popped in to find that there were 163 applicants.
One real one, and 162 spambots.
Guess which one I let in?

I would suggest bowing to custom and having a ceremony, with a few attendees. People seem to appreciate the opportunity to take their leave, so maybe do it for their sake?

Thanks @pegembara
A bit god centric for my tastes but ideal for those so inclined …
As I said to God only this morning, 'as I have no Mind at least both of us are delusions'.

Re: Questionable teachers in Buddhism
It's not even to protect y'all, because I feel like everyone here has enough discernment to separate the wheat from the chaff. My main goal is to make this a safe place for everyone and prevent it from becoming a platform for Holocaust deniers and apologists for Adolf fucking Hitler. lol

Re: Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind
To accept some idea of truth without experiencing it is like a painting of a cake on paper which you cannot eat.
Shunryu Suzuki
I have had cake like that, reminds me of eucharist 
Everything is perfect, but there is a lot of room for improvement.
Shunryu Suzuki
Ah ha … that means better cake …
Leave your front door and your back door open.
Allow your thoughts to come and go.
Just don't serve them tea.
Unless they bring cake?

A sort of guided meditation, perhaps. It has an advantage over conventional meditation in that it is compulsory - you can't put it off indefinitely.
