If an invasion like this happened in your country what do you think you would do? Maybe what would you hope you'd do and what do you honestly think you'd do?
I wasn't sure if this would be best here or in good news but I think its a good example for Buddhist resistance. Basically a bunch of unarmed Ukrainians stood down some tanks.

While practitioners might hope for a mind that more closely resembles a domesticated dog's generous attention & loyalty,
a cat's self-centered semi-domesticated state of wildness more typically describes the mind that we have to work
with.
I knew it! Pussy mind …

Re: Information Overload
About the computer... and excess information... I try to avoid using the phone using How's tip by allowing it the same amount of time that I allocate to my practice . And using it mindfully of course, not just to down texts/information/YouTube as if they were pints at a pub or cake at an all-you-can-eat. The internet is a buffet, but sometimes being able to enjoy a 3 course meal and a small dessert is better than stuffing ourselves to the point of sleepiness and exhaustion.
Of course....sometimes YouTube and these damned short snippets catch your attention and then you realise you've been 1 hour scrolling down foolishly. Time to atone for my sins...... !

Re: Just for fun: the random, useless announcements thread!
I have a name for people who pull stunts like this, but I'm supposed to be a lady, and expletives ain't ladylike.
I have no admiration for them, I'm afraid.
Idiots.

Re: What tradition (if any) do you follow?
- I am barely Hunuman Human but I do aspire to BuddhaHoodiness
- I mix up everything. I consider Jains, Hindus and Sikhs as almost Dharma Sisters, brothers and cousins. I like Sufi and Gnostic Christianity. I practice yoga and pray to the great Sky Cod God
- My primary Buddhist traditions are Zenith shikantaza, vajrayana and lately hinayana Theravada.
