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.

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.

Cyberanarchist
The cartoon is from Fiestoforo
I quite like #anarchy, but it's hard to find #anarchists.
I quite like #Buddhism, but there are hardly any #Buddhas here.
I've lost faith in #democracy.
I trust #politicians to do everything, but hardly what they publicly #promise.
Family Retreat: At Home in Myself by Đẳng Nghiêm - Aug. 11, 2023
https://www.youtube.com/live/sqktulaNipU?si=02E6LzIy9mGc4TJw
We invoke your name, #Kshitigarbha. We aspire to learn your way of being present where there is darkness, #suffering, #oppression, and #despair, so we can bring light, #hope, #relief, and #liberation to those places. We are determined not to forget about or abandon those in #desperate situations. We will do our best to establish contact with those who cannot find a way out of their suffering, those whose cries for help, #justice, #equality, and #humanrights are not being heard. We know that #hell can be found in many places on Earth. We will do our best not to contribute to creating more hells on Earth, and we will help transform the hells that already exist. We will practice in order to realize the qualities of #perseverance and #stability, so that, like the Earth, we can always be supportive and faithful to those in need.
