If you're a Western convert to an Eastern religion, it can be difficult to get rid of that little Greek philosopher in your ear. You have to challenge what you were conditioned to believe is true and learn to restructure much of how you see the world. The transformation is quite profound though, and can honestly be really liberating.

Leave Plato behind, he can't hurt you anymore.

The diversity of Buddhism is fascinating. All the way from “there are no gods, there are no miracles, there’s no such thing as an immortal soul, karma and reincarnation are just metaphors,”

to “Siddhartha Gautama the Buddha was one human incarnation of the omnipotent multiversal being Mahāvairocana who came to give supernatural powers to his Enlightened followers, one of whom, Amitābha, made a Pure Land where you can go after you die if you call upon his name.”

Granted you could also kind of say the same thing about Christianity, but that’s always been a lot more self-policing of deviance, after all if you think there’s only one truth you want to nail down what exactly it is. Groups like Gnostics or Unitarian Universalists have always been marginalized, with the possible exception of the Mormons, who were isolated enough to actually build up some population.

Yo I made Buddhism and Hinduism altar today in minecraft, quite messy cuz I have 0 sense of decoration or whatsover but also 0 intention to disrespect any gods or religious figure

Might made some more variations of the altar, maybe specific to one god or in different categories (see the name of deities in tags!)

Space is the Place--to Meditate... 

The one who can control himself, can control the world—his world… You don’t have to go anywhere to meditate, except inside. Much is made in the modern New Age movements of all the different kinds of meditation, which, according to the books and blogs can easily number into the dozens, if not hundreds. But most of those sources aren’t really Buddhist, not in any strict sense. Still, a quick…

Prejudice against Palestinians and Muslims is wrong. Prejudice against Jews is wrong. Hatred is a poison.

If, in your advocacy for Palestine, you harass Jewish people, or shelter within your movement those who do, then you are doing something antisemitic.

If, in your pro-Jewish advocacy, you support the actions of a far right, apartheid, genocidal state like the current Israeli government, then you are also doing something deeply hateful.

A Free Palestine is a Palestine free of the oppression of Isreal, and a Palestine free from far right Islamist violence and extremism. Advocacy is based on a desire for positive change, not on a hatred for Jews, Muslims, Israelis, or Palestinians. The Palestinian people deserve advocates who are motivated by compassion and not by spite. May peace and reconciliation be the final goal, and may all the people of the region be happy and free and safe. Namo Buddhaya, Namo Buddhaya, Namo Buddhaya. 🙏

Still a massive WIP (as you can tell by some frame qualities ndkfgjndfg) but I’ve been working on a little animatic for my LoZ D&D campaign!

It focuses on the villains of the story, but the party gets to be at the end of this WIP to look utterly horrified.

(CWs for some blood, some death, some religious themes, but nothing graphic)
