Re: Has anyone else here completely quit social media (minus this forum, obviously)
I've reached my end with social media. I only have Reddit and Instagram, but I'm finding that the platforms (and social media as a whole) is far too toxic for me.

Re: requesting help from devas
Hi JC, how is this done? i see people talk about not relying on devas etc, but never have i been taught, outside of a christian perspective, how to actually ask a deva for help or whatever it is that is done. In the Atanatiya Sutta (DN. 32) the Buddha gives the names of those devas who have vowed t...

Re: In your view, understanding, Parinibbana is:
I took it as annihilation. That got to be depressing. At some point I found/was told about sutta references where it is stated that it is not annihilation, it can not be described, and it is the ultimate happiness. So now, I take it as "I will not understand it as long as I am alive, but it is ...

Re: Renvovated And Updated Ajahn Brahm Discussion Forum
To be honest, it looked like a forgotten discussion group when I became one of the moderators about two days ago.
Since I put all of the work I mentioned into the group the number of subscribers when from 213 subscribers to 296 subscribers.

Re: The Four Noble Truths and The Lord's Prayer
Nicely done chart.
I don't see any similarities between the items you put side by side.
I don't think the two fine things you are comparing are similar at all.
No disrespect meant.
