Central to the nuns’ identity is their proficiency in martial arts. Jigme Rupa (all nuns’ names are prefixed with Jigme) uses a sword to practise her skills outside the main temple. Among the eight ‘mystical’ weapons that can be used in martial arts, Rupa says her favourite is a sword.

Results from a poll of the religion of r/tulpas

I thought it worth noting that while Buddhists make up a small overall number, the number of Buddhists is disproportionately high, at nearly 5% of the population of the subreddit.

This is on a website which draws most of its traffic from countries where Buddhism only makes up 1% of the population or less. (USA, UK and Canada being the top 3.)

Thought this was relevant to current syscourse-y discussions.

Now for something not relevant at all but that I found interesting. In the "other" category, there was a surprising standout in the comments.

🤣

It makes sense in hindsight, but I have to say that I'm surprised by those results!

Anyway, Hail Satan! 😈

(We're just atheists ourselves but are supportive of all religions, including Satanism!)

"Most of our actions are socially or economically determined and do not come from our LIFE . . . I don't know whether you have had the experience I have had, but as you get older, the claims of the environment upon you are so great that you hardly know where the hell you are. . . You are always doing something that is required of you . . . Where is your bliss station? . . . Get a phonograph and put on the music that you really love, the music no one else likes or respects, or that book you have always wanted to read, get it done and create a place where you can do it." --Joseph Campbell, Sacrifice and Bliss

Seeing clearly when things are murky

Hello friends! Finally got motivated to work on an old post. Hope you find it interesting.

One of my favorite Buddhist teachers – Pema Chodron – talks about meeting your edge again and again. This refers to all the times we struggle through fear, discomfort, self-loathing, anger–you name it. The things that keep us awake at night, asleep during the day and anxious about who we are. Sometimes it’s messy, confusing and painful to be fully present in our own lives. I’m not saying I am…

“MISSIONNAIRES BOUDDHISTES,” Le Petit Journal. November 6, 1932. Page 42. --- Ananda (à gauche) et Rahula (à droite) sont deux prêtres bouddhistes qui manifestent l’intention de convertir les occidentaux à leur religion. Vêtus de toges de couleur orange, ils ont commencé leur prédication Londres. Ils y remportent un certain succès, mais de pure curiosité.

Believers gather around a ritual bonfire during the Dugzhuba, a Buddhist pre-New Year ritual of purification, near the Datsan Gunzechoinei Buddhist Temple in St. Petersburg, Russia, Thursday, Feb. 8, 2024. During the Dugzhuba, ritual believers symbolically purify by eliminating all negative and harmful energies. This ritual takes place on the eve of the Buddhist New Year, called Sagaalgan by Russian Buddhists, and follows the lunar calendar. (AP Photo/Dmitri Lovetsky)

The Walk Home

I walked home tonight from the Women's Bible study at a nearby church. It had been a sweet time of Bible study and fellowship with the ladies--a relief since it was my first time attending.

After our Bible time was over, the ladies told me a bit about the history of the church and how it was founded in the 1940s by the a Japanese family, who lived through the Japanese internment to found the church.

I had just moved to the neighborhood and the church was close by, so I loved hearing about this folksy neighborhood church with such a rich history. And it also got me thinking, how sad that things have changed so much since then.

My mind tried to grapple for the picture of the church as it had once been before the ravages of time had winnowed away the crowds here---before the founders' grandchildren had grown up and all moved away.

Some hazy picture came to mind of an old, quaint church with a large gathering which consisted of Asians, Caucasians, African-Americans, and everyone in between.

Then I caught myself and directed my attention to what God had said to us in His Word: that though the sun may cease to shine, He will always be the same. He will always be there for His children.

I breathed a sigh of relief and praised God for His everlasting presence in our lives. As someone who's had to live through a lot of dramatic transformations and change, it's a relief to finally find the One that will never change.

This was something I never found when I was Buddhist, because Buddhism posited that everything was impermanent and subject to change.

What a burden it was to go through life all those years thinking that I had to bear all of the responsibility for my own salvation! And in the end, all we would ever get in nirvana is nothingness!

As I continued home, the cool breeze and warm sun cheered me up---and I rested my worries upon the everlasting arms of our Heavenly God.
