Entangled by the bonds of hate,
one who seeks one's own happiness
by inflicting pain on others,
is never delivered from hatred.

--- Dhammapada 21.291, The Dhammapada: The Buddha's Path of Wisdom, translated from Pāli by Acharya Buddharakkhita

Going to do a clusterfuck of a Zen exercise by tuning in to a Presidential Debate for the first time since 2004. The pre-debate coverage alone is grating enough...but anyway...great exercise in attempting to do non-reactivity #uspoli #buddhism #zen #Election2024

A common error in the Western and/or superficial perception of Buddhism is to only consider the absence of birth and death from a material perspective.

“Sullivan unashamedly treats a centuries-old revered text as something that exists to be used in the present rather than venerated for its seniority.”

Let no one deceive another
or despise anyone anywhere,
or through anger or irritation
wish for another to suffer.

Sutta Nipāta 1.148 | Translated from Pāli by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

Rooted in Craving

Mendicants, I will teach you about nine things rooted in craving. And what are the nine things rooted in craving? Craving is a cause of seeking. Seeking is a cause of gaining material possessions. Gaining material possessions is a cause of assessing. Assessing is a cause of desire and lust. Desire and lust is a cause of attachment. Attachment is a cause of ownership. Ownership is a cause of stinginess. Stinginess is a cause of safeguarding. Owing to safeguarding, many bad, unskillful things come to be: taking up the rod and the sword, quarrels, arguments, and fights, accusations, divisive speech, and lies. These are the nine things rooted in craving.

--- AN 9.23 - Translated by Bhikkhu Sujato

One is not noble who injures living beings.
One is called "noble" because
one is harmless towards all living beings.

Web App for the Four Noble Truths

I just completed coding (with JavaScript) the first version of a small web app that i did for a monk in Plum Village. Please try it out:

https://tord.codeberg.page/four-noble-truths-variations/

Code is available here: https://codeberg.org/tord/four-noble-truths-variations

I still need to do more refactoring and testing, but this works on my browers (desktop and mobile)

With good will for the entire cosmos,
cultivate a limitless heart:
Above, below, & all around,
unobstructed, without hostility or hate.
