Re: Wanting to take vows to become a Buddhist...
I'll happily join your Buddhist cult! I've never been in a cult before. When does the brainwashing start? Mine will likely need extra soap 🤣
You are our new leader. Our previous leader @yagr is not taking the brainwashing seriously. After all 'cleanliness is next to Buddliness'.
Any self respecting cult needs to wash "body, speech and mind"

The word epiphany always reminds me of elephants. For some reason.

Re: Wanting to take vows to become a Buddhist...
… I want to take refuge, but I live in central Arkansas and don't know of any Mahayana temples anywhere near me. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
You can join a Buddhist Cult we are starting.
You are now a Buddhist. Yes we are very liberal …
Remember:
- If joining a cult or taking online refuge is not to your taste, you can take refuge again, when circumstances allow.
- Intent and practice is more relevant
- Commit to the triple gem as @Shoshin1 suggests

Re: Politics again
Because, America.
When a country has "In God We Trust" on their money, you can bet that God and the dollar have the final say. And not necessarily in that order.

Is there a commonly mispronounced word or phrase which drives you mad?
Please try and be as pacific as possible.
