My first groupies deserted me… Here’s a note from WeLoveMonk:
Hi yuttadhammo!
We’re fans, as you can tell.
Sorry about the kiss mark. :P We really couldn’t find clip art of a heart, so we figured a silly lip mark will communicate our admiration. (I mean, we don’t wanna kiss you on the lips [...]
Here’s something you don’t get everyday (thankfully ;) )… I’m not sure what to say, other than “danger, danger…” No, really, though, it’s kind of cute – love in its purist form is always a good thing, and I’m not so sexually insecure as to be afraid of such things as this. The lipstick [...]
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 [...]
Just a quick update.
Tomorrow I’m taking one of my students to the Metro Detention Center to help translate during my volunteer chaplain service. It’s nice to be on the giving side, helping the incarcerated deal with the stress of confinement and an uncertain future. Having been falsely arrested and spending a night in [...]
Today I got sidetracked into taking part in “Life In A Day“, via YouTube. I’ve been filming since 12:01 AM and have gone through most of the following list already (the four questions are part of the requirements, not something I thought up):
• 12 AM – Pre-day – thoughts, reasons, intentions • 4 [...]
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:

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…

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 [...]
‘Brethren, if outsiders should speak against me, or against my teaching, or against my disciples, you should not on that account either bear malice, or suffer heart-burning, or feel ill-will. If you, on that account, should be angry and hurt, that would stand in the way of your own self-conquest. If, when others speak against us, you feel angry at that, and displeased, would you then be able to judge how far that speech of theirs is well said or ill?’
‘That would not be so, Sir.’
‘But when outsiders speak in dispraise of me, or of my teaching, or of my disciples, you should unravel what is false and point it out as wrong, saying: “For this or that reason this is not the fact, that is not so, such a thing is not found among us, is not in us.”
- DN 1 (Brahmajala Sutta)
I was recently alerted via twitter to a Bill Maher article in which he does some pretty serious Buddhism-bashing. The alert came from this Buddhist blog, in the form of an open letter to Mr. Maher. I think the letter was quite well written, but not exactly how I would address this issue.
