Hi all
Not sure how familiar you are with the app Discord?
I’ve joined a few Buddhist groups via it and it’s fantastic.
Being able to chat in real time with monastics and lay people. Join group meditation etc.
Check it out if you get a chance

I use Discord. What servers are you on @Bunks?
I use discord but I'm only on one server, the one for Patreon members of The Magnificast Podcast (mainly about leftist politics and Christianity). I used to be on another one, but I just didn't feel like I belonged and left. Any good ones you recommend?
I’m on a few. They’re all good in their own ways
These two I’m able to invite you to.

See the servers in my post above. One is strictly EBT (Theravadan) while the other (monk life) seems to be open to any and all traditions.
Oh haha! I said hello to you on the BSV one. I am Luke M 😃
Was that you who just joined the BSV group Jason? I am Luke M on there
Yep
I thought it might be you.
It was me, and thansk for the invite, but it's not for me. I don't like to be restricted in how I approach or talk about Buddhism. I know that many Buddhist forums discourage topics like politics, but I'm a very political person and Buddhism has political implications. It's not just the internal practice, but the external actions we choose. And since I know I'd bring it up on occasion, I left the server. Saves me the trouble of getting scolded. lol
Hehe no worries Jason
The band I’m in plays Handle With Care by the Traveling Wilburys. Like all too many bands, we play the Roy Orbison “I”m so tired . . . “” line as
G B7 C D
The correct chords are
G G+/b C D
Also, the correct verse chords are not
D C G
They are
D D7/c G
Thanks for the introduction to the Traveling Wilburys @Steve_B I had never come across them before… amazing to see Tom Petty, George Harrison and Roy Orbison in one band!
Well played sir 🤪👏
I don't want to cause discord,

Ah ha! I will get scolded [lobster misses frederica] … sounds good to me … probably just what I need. I try to be A-political but just end up as anarchic discordian heretic … just go and put myself in the naughty corner
How do you know they're monastics?
Because I know them in person from the monastery I stay at
I know this is an old thread but any links to Buddhist discord channels worth looking at I'd be grateful for.
Good morning! Here’s a couple of channels based on the Theravadan tradition you could join.

Thank you kindly 👍👍
No worries! I just gave you a shout out. I’m a moderator on the BSV server
Buddhism is a very big tent.
We have the Thervadic traditions
We have the Tantric traditions
We have the Mahayana traditions
We have the Elephant Charging Through The Reeds traditions
We have the I Have No Idea, But What the Hey traditions
Fun-Fun-Fun
Remember, young ones, you can take life seriously, but cut yourself some slack and do not forget to laugh. Life is rediculuous, delirious, preposterous, ludicrous, and all together the greatest treasure beyond all measure.
Peace to all
we get's to go camp? (so to speak)
I'm Free.
