Watched Solo Leveling and realizing so much motivation could be cured if we also had a holographic screen with daily goals that followed us everywhere

Thank you, President Biden.

Today’s #BleachTYBW was pure art

The relationship between these two, and the level of detail they gave us in just 20 minutes, was superb

Found my new pseudonym:

I’m not *that* short!

Started Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and I can see why this was the edgy shounen anime of the 2000s

Very good

I’m Jodo Shu, but both Jodo and Shin descend from Honen, who was a Tendai priest before he left Mt. Hiei. Ichinen Sanzen is a Tendai teaching

Re-watching King on Netflix and realizing two Kings of Westeros are also in it

I can’t be the only one who saw Lille and thought of this, right? #Bleach_anime

Dan Dan noodles over thanksgiving food anyday

Yes I’m religious, I believe in the holy trinity.

I want to do a face reveal but it’s so rare to find an anime pic that resembles me so much

Biden pardoning Hunter is getting so much attention because the side that always talks about norms so easily breeches them only when everyone is looking

All dharmas in a single thought-moment

The words ‘Namu-Amida-Butsu’

Democrats finally do what Trump talks about doing all the time

If you ever see people “dedicate merits” of a Buddhist chanting, a prayer, a sutra reading, or even a prostration,

that is to get a result where more people have the opportunity to attain enlightenment.

Cultivating merits is always for the sake of others. Get lots of it, and we can all be happy!

In Buddhism, there are four kinds of karma:

— unwholesome karma, created by bad deeds
— wholesome karma, created by good deeds
— neutral karma, created by both good and bad deeds
— merit, created by deeds dedicated to liberating sentient beings from samsara

Merit is the best karma one can do!

Q: Is karma what goes around comes around?

A: No. Karma is your volitional thought, speech, and action. Do good, and good results. Do bad, bad results.

The saying goes, one plants trees whose shade they shall never sit in. Sow karmic seeds you’d hope to reap not for you, but for the sake of all.

Midwest Buddhist Temple members made and delivered over 300 sandwiches to unhoused people in Chicago today, for their monthly delivery. They also distributed hats, gloves, socks, blankets, jackets, and other cold weather accessories.

Oh look! It’s a gallery of things I must now order online because it takes 20 minutes to find the Keeper of the Deodorant Key

She slept alooooone~

That was an unfortunate read. It shows how important it is that we push back against statements of hate and bigotry disguised as dharma.

The karmic consequences of calling homosexuality a sin could be as small as insulting, or as the article illustrates, as heinous as killing.

I think the rest of Buddhism agrees with your school on individuals creating karma.

Just in the English language, creating bad karma is translated as “sin”. The Sanskrit will be klesha, anantarya, etc.

Similar to how “enlightenment” is a translation of nirvana, despite it being a Christian term.

I don’t make the rules!

How should #Buddhists approach #Thanksgiving 🦃

The Buddha says in the Diamond Sutra that we should practice giving without attachment to thought or perception.

Therefore, if we can practice generosity, give compassion to our family & relatives, without expecting anything, it will benefit everyone.
