Re: "Online Buddhists aren't real Buddhists" - Yes or No?

Are you looking for some kind of guarantee before you commit yourself? Who doesn't? Why should it be so bad to want some kind of guarantee before committing? Hi binocular, Here's my two cents, please take it for what it's worth: commit to practice, any practice provisionally. Set yourself a goal, o...

Re: Husserl's own words on reading the suttas

Btw: Has anyone here (or in the various "phenomenology" threads) ever read Husserl's own writings?

Re: Mahāyāna Sutras?

I regard the suttas like prose and the sutras more like poetry, but I think there is great insight in many Buddhist texts. My favourite Buddhist text is still the Heart Sutra. I like the Heart Sutra except I've never been able to get over Avalokiteshvara teaching Ven Sariputta. It just throws the w...

Re: The Dhamma Wheel Meditation Challenge

A little update on my progress. At the moment my morning routine includes: walking with my dog and practising either mindfulness or Metta, then getting home and following this guided meditation (especially Breath Meditation with Instructions for Leaving Meditation). Thanks to this, I can sit for (a...

Re: Italian Language | Risorse in italiano

Rieccomi! :D Facendo altre riceche su internet mi son imbattuta in questo sito: http://www.canonepali.net/ Sembra che sia ancora aggiornato (ultimo aggiornamento del 19 agosto 2016). È il sito di un laico italiano che gentilmente si è preso la briga di tradurre in italiano il Canone Pali. Complimen...

Re: The Dhamma Wheel Meditation Challenge

I just started meditating a couple of weeks ago. So far I can't get past 14-15 minutes (sitting), so my goal is to get to 30 minutes by the end of September. I also take my dog for a walk 2-3 times a day, so I try to take that opportunity to practice mindfulness, paying attention to sounds and tact...
