It took reactivating my Facebook account again to make me realize why Facebook is not for me… I’m anti-social. And I’m allowed to be, I’m a Buddhist monk. That’s my job. It finally dawned on me that the reason I never really “got” Facebook is that Facebook is the opposite of monk. Even a [...] First, for those of you who thought you were following me on Twitter, you’re probably not; when I deleted my Facebook account, my Twitter account went with it. Then I realized Twitter is actually useful, so I restored my account with them. It’s a good way to keep up with what I’m doing, especially [...] Another reason to switch to Linux, besides the fact that embraces Buddhist values of freedom and cooperation, is that it does all sorts of useful things, provided you are willing to exercise your cranium in order to figure them out. Here’s one that’s fairly easy to work with, called “display-dhammapada”, a script used to [...] Okay, found this neat service called ustream that lets me broadcast both audio and video for free… the quality is not so good but, hey, free is free. Check it out: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/monkradio Next broadcast is at 7 PM Pacific… I’ll try to broadcast our evening group meditation. Update: the 7 PM broadcast was a [...] I guess I do post Buddhist stuff here, though it seems pretty insubstantial… somehow I got on someone’s list of top fifty Buddhist blogs… makes me think there can’t be many more than that out there. Anyway, it’s a good list, I think, so check it out and assumedly find some good Buddhist blogs… besides, of course, this good Buddhist blog, or whatever it is…
Sadly, whoever is behind this site neglected to offer links to the weblogs, though they expect us to post links to their site (in the form of badges). That’s really bad form, in my opinion (it means we direct traffic to their site, but they don’t direct traffic to ours), so I’m taking the liberty of reposting the list here with links added: Continue reading Best Buddhist Blog 2010! Or Something Like That… Transcripts for my videos are finished, thanks to a group of kind volunteers and YouTube’s built-in subtitling system, and the next step is to start translating them. Here are the subtitle files, if anyone is able to translate them into another language, please feel free. You can use: http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Subtitle_Workshop to open these files and [...] And here’s a collection of Mahasi Sayadaw epub books. Download as you like: Mahasi.zip This collection is taken from http://www.mahasi.org.mm/treatises.html. You can also download pdf versions from that site, but you will need a special font for that. For my version you’ll need a reader that supports epub format. I recommend, as do many [...] Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism. –Carl Jung Human beings are a funny lot. We pride ourselves on our ability to parse stimuli rationally and yet we rarely, if ever, accomplish the task. Take the Internet, for instance. As fascinating as [...] Some of you may already know I’ve wasted put a great amount of time into creating the Digital Pali Reader as a tool to make reading the Pali texts easier for those who already have basic grammar skills. Well, a couple of months ago, while touring Northern Thailand together, one of my students gave [...] I get a lot of good feedback on the “How To Meditate” videos; that’s why we went so far as to make the DVD set… this one stands out, for some reason, though. Thought I’d share it, with the author’s permission: Hi, let me first start off by saying that I honestly have [...] |
