The Lounge has now re-opened on a trial basis. As long as it goes well, without too many conflicts and reported posts, it may remain open.
Play nice.

Re: Lounge re-opened, trial basis
If anyone doesn't like the lounge, doesn't want to post there, doesn't even want to see it, no problema, just PM me or SV and we can add you to the group:
"No lounge" Members of this group will not be able to post there, nor will they even see it.

Re: Lounge re-opened, trial basis
The opening of the Lounge is going well. This is just a reminder that news & politics is still closed, so cannot be discussed here, not in the Lounge either.
For comparative religions discussions with some connection to Theravada, please post in "Connections to other paths."
For comparative religions discussion with no connection to Theravada, please go to: https://www.dharmapaths.com/
Theosophy is very similar to Theravada Buddhism, so can be discussed here in the lounge. Or we might move it to Connections to other paths.

Re: Lounge re-opened, trial basis
A reminder for those who read or post here, this Lounge has over 150 threads going back to 2009. Plenty of places to explore the golden oldies.
Good and evil have no fixed form. It's as easy to turn from doing bad to doing good as it is to flip over the hand from the back to the palm. It's simply up to us to do it. Master Hsuan Hua.

Re: Lounge re-opened, trial basis
Evidently the delicate Lounge overlords are equivocal about a Book Reviews thread.

Re: Lounge re-opened, trial basis
Is politics still banned?
“Knowing that this body is just like foam,
understanding it has the nature of a mirage,
cutting off Māra’s flower-tipped arrows,
one should go beyond the King of Death’s sight.”

Please see ToS 2k.
If political issues specifically related to Theravadan Dhamma come up, and are discussed amicably, then they will be allowed. But not initiating purely political topics for their own sake. I wouldn't do that in a real lounge with people I didn't know very well.
