I haven't, but it's probably a good idea.

There are a few things i wont stoop to. Rebooting to windows to watch a tv documentary is one of them. I have no trouble watching movies and video on the internet, buddhist and otherwise, in linux and if they are running a site that requires internet explorer or windows media player to work, i just...

Hey m0rl0ck, have you tried it in a Windows or Mac OS yet?

I really appreciate this open and honest discussion. It's one I'm not used to reading on Buddhist sites, i.e. just how effin hard the path is for us householders. Nevertheless, no matter how hard it gets for me, and no matter how many times I despair and give up and try again over and over, I can't ...

Thanks, bodom. I think I understand now... Mindfulness of another's body as it pertains to developing wisdom into important realizations necessary for grasping the 4NTs.

What is the purpose of cultivating the ability to be mindful of another's body? Couldn't one be just as considerate, compassionate and understanding of others without being mindful of their physical body? How does this ability lead to unbinding? What also strikes my mind: the Buddha speaks of being ...

I highly encourage you to check out the many great articles on the concept of anatta and rebirth found on Access to Insight. Once you receive a proper understanding on the two concepts, you will wonder how anyone can consciously believe in this fleeting, ever-changing self. It will be a mind-alterin...

Hello everyone, Discussion is going great so far. Something I've been considering regarding anarchism and Buddhism as compatible lifestyles: Buddhist practice has a view towards death and the hereafter, whereas anarchism does not. As a matter of fact, a lot of anarchist theory I've read holds a stro...

So I'm currently in touch with a Buddhist rapper who goes by the name "Born Infinite" - check him out on YouTube. He's pretty good.

No one here is capable of discussing anarchism and its implications, let alone the relation between the individual and government. So don't pretend otherwise. You'll only seem foolish. Whoa guy. Chill out. Why are you so hostile on this thread? I'm perfectly capable of discussing anarchism and its ...

Hey Everyone, I'm going to stay away from the JBS discussion since I'm clueless as to anything about it. I think the statements regarding the Buddhadhamma as apolitical is pretty much true, and it seems we're all in agreement on that. I also like the idea that even though Buddhism is about renunciat...

Many times, the emotional feelings of shame or guilt that're associated with the results of our unskillful actions are looked upon as undesirable things—we see them as just unnecessary thorns in our side. Because we act out of a basic need to be happy, we like to think that all of our actions, whet...

Hey TM, I agree with your first statement for the most part, which is why I've found it hard to unite the two within myself. Nevertheless, many Buddhists participate in politics. What do you say to this? I don't really want to debate anarchism in itself, as that's a discussion that should be saved f...

Hey folks, From a Buddhist perspective, what do you think about anarchism and other radical/revolutionary political stances? Do you believe it can be compatible with a dedicated practice? Does/has anyone here identify(ied) as anarchist or another school of radical thought? I ask because I have studi...
