Re: Just for fun: the random, useless announcements thread!

There’s going to be an Apple Event tomorrow around this time. I always enjoy them, the combination of new gadgets and technology is pleasant to me. They are probably going to announce new iPhones, new Apple Watches and new Macs with ARM processors. But others may find this information random and useless...

Re: Not being able to connect to Newbuddhist?

You'd think there'd be some automatic warning of a registration expiry date coming up.
I imagine there be unsavory characters out there in the bushes just waiting to put some coin down to snap it up and then sell it back to you....for a profit.
I was just too slow.

Re: The Covid19 Infodemic...Conspiracy Theorists Playground...

One of my favourite recent conspiracy theories was that the country I live in doesn't actually exist......

I suspect even the person who came up with it had their tongue firmly stuck in their cheek.

Re: What exactly is Buddhist practice?

http://eiskjelonen.simplesite.com/ A good read,. To all the ignorants who live in ok situations, and love Buddhism, by watching videos, but do not notice the follower guru of this religion of peace spends $25000 an hour on premium level covert body guards and event security team, trying to defend this by saying that the death of the current Dalai Lama causes instability in Tibet.
People there live in poverty not because of China, but because of the beliefs that makes those people live like primitives and believe in a dysfunctional religion.

Re: A sane emotion

Good question @Kerome

I can perhaps illustrate the difference between insane and sane.

When I swear at the toaster for being infuriatingly slow, I am usually crazed through lack of toast. When I praise my toast for being delicious ... wait ...

I am too crazy to answer this question

Looking foward to some inspired sanity from others ... 🤞🏼

Yes! What is a montur?

A montur is the famous unit of meditation, which hovers over your head while sitting and flaps away when full, only to be replaced by a new empty one. What do you mean you don’t know about monturs?!

Re: New? Introduce Yourself to NB Members!

Hello, Brothers and Sisters in the Dharma! I'm not a newbie, practice wise, I'm an oldie trying to be new again! Too stale, sitting is inconsistent, not following the precepts...I'm so glad I found this tribe! Since I'm number one million in terms of postgs to this thread I don't expect to get answered but I'll introduce myself to the group. Love you all
