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:

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)

Just finished reading True Virtue - The Journey of an English Buddhist Nun by Sister #AnnabelLaity who is a practitioner in #ThichNhatHanh's #PlumVillage tradition of #Buddhism. It's an auto-biographical account. Interesting to read about the early history of Plum Village and her life in general

TIME AND AGAIN I am surprised how people who adorn themselves with being OH SO VERY #SPIRITUAL, with #BUDDHISM and #MINDFULNESS … people who praise #COMPASSION in speech or writing … how they FAIL TO REALIZE that their consumption and use of animal products (meat, dairy, leather …) depends on the #suffering of #Nonhuman_Persons, on #captivity, #exploitation, #forced_labour, #torture, and finally, #murder.

Folks, that’s #LIP_SERVICE_SPIRITUALITY.

THEN I REMEMBER how I did the same, how I was in that same state of #denial, for most of my life, even when I was vegetarian: I still ate cheese, curd, eggs, and I wore leather shoes and belts, thus showing the other animals that I am powerful enough to clothe me in their skins, a permanent menace to them!

We think that when we are not doing anything we are wasting our time, that is not true. Our time is first of all for us to be. To be, to be what? To be alive, to be peace, to be joy, to be loving. And that is what the world needs the most. So we train ourself in order to be. And if you know the art of being peace, of being solid, then you have the ground for every action… because the ground for action is to be. And the quality of being determines the quality of doing. Action must be based on non-action.

--- Thich Nhat Hanh

Namo Avalokiteshvara,
Please come with me to the war zones to stop the killing and bombing.
Please walk with me to the places of sickness and suffering, bringing compassionate nectar and medicine.
Please walk with me to the realm of the hungry ghosts. bringing the Dharma food of understanding and love.
Please walk with me to the realm of hell in order to cool the heat of afflictions.
Please walk with me to places of conflict in order to remove hatred and anger and help the source of love to flow again.
