"Buddhism: A Journey Through History by Donald S. Lopez Jr. swiftly soon loses sight of the Buddha himself. Is that a bad thing, and was he ever there?"

‘Buddhism’ by Donald S. Lopez Jr. review

"Readers hoping for a deeper and more scholarly telling of a story whose outlines they already know – an Indian prince embarks on a mission to understand suffering and discovers a practical path to enlightenment – will find themselves challenged to rethink."

"If we want to discover the big world outside our little ego-bound cocoons and create a more meaningful life – one filled with more generosity and kindness, attention and intention, truth and connectedness – maybe all we need to do is find the courage to die."

"The earthquake on March 28 killed thousands of people and also struck a devastating blow to an underpinning of society: the country’s Buddhist clergy."

A Deadly Earthquake Rocks a Pillar of a Buddhist Nation: Its Monks

"The people of Myanmar have often turned to the clergy for aid during natural disasters. But last month’s earthquake was also devastating for monks, many of whom died under the rubble of collapsed monasteries."

One happy Buddha here, celebrating pride and gender-fluidity 🌈.

Happy #BicycleDay to everyone! I’m enjoying the evening and the good vibes 🚴‍♂️.

Tomorrow is 4/20, the day for #Weed, but for me, it’s a time to reflect on my journey from 4/19, while others celebrate 420 🌿.

Wishing you all a fantastic Saturday evening! ✨

#Dhamma Talk: "Not Rocket Science"
bhikkhu.ca/buddhism/video/2025

Topics:
Theravada Buddhism, objects of meditation, suttas, the Early Buddhist texts; avoiding making the mistake of getting too caught up on details, when a broader view and taking care of the basics (like sila/morality and sensory restraint) can bring a lot of benefit to formal meditation

We are currently looking for sponsors to help a young man from Ireland to attend the one week retreat at Samye Ling in August 2025. Ross suffers from bi-polar disorder and lives in a small house with his old mother. Never the less recently he managed to get a part time job but doesn't earn enough money to travel to Scotland for the retreat.
