7·2 days agoI would argue Jainism, Buddhism and Hinduism are as distinct as Islam, Christianity and Judaism.
Which are the sects of Buddhism that are so similar to Hinduism? (Curiosity, not attack - i studied Buddhism in depth for my degree, but that was 20 years ago)
Who are these people asking these questions? Im so out of touch
4·2 months agoI will accept he’s a bit vanilla. However, there are different levels of awake. Not everyone is ready for Hasan Piker or even John Oliver.
Edit: i put except instead of accept. I’ve just finished a 12 hour duty day and my brain is melting out of my ears. Dear gods.
4·3 months agoIll take one for the team
Just some of the pics
Sorry! Fixed it now.
Yes I should have, edited to correct, sorry!
I forgot! I had it copied and forgot to paste in the body. the shame
But no tattoos or body paint on the women that would be too much!
Or the time consuming up-do
Oranges and Lemons" say the bells of St Clement’s. “You owe me five farthings” say the bells of St Martin’s. “When will you pay me?” say the bells of Old Bailey. “When I grow rich” say the bells of Shoreditch. “When will that be?” say the bells of Stepney. “I do not know” says the great Bell of Bow.
So many versions though, worth an internet deep dive.
Edward Lear 1812 – 1888
The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea In a beautiful pea-green boat: They took some honey, and plenty of money Wrapped up in a five-pound note. The Owl looked up to the stars above, And sang to a small guitar, “O lovely Pussy, O Pussy, my love, What a beautiful Pussy you are, You are, You are! What a beautiful Pussy you are!”
Pussy said to the Owl, “You elegant fowl, How charmingly sweet you sing! Oh! let us be married; too long we have tarried, But what shall we do for a ring?” They sailed away, for a year and a day, To the land where the bong-tree grows; And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood, With a ring at the end of his nose, His nose, His nose, With a ring at the end of his nose.
“Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling Your ring?” Said the Piggy, “I will.” So they took it away, and were married next day By the turkey who lives on the hill. They dined on mince and slices of quince, Which they ate with a runcible spoon; And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, They danced by the light of the moon, The moon, The moon, They danced by the light of the moon.
Im all for this. Im all for all the side discussions that emerge from a post like this
The crash was caused by part of the engine cowl from the previous flight (continental DC10) falling off and remaining on the runway
Whilst taking off from Charles de Gaulle Airport, Air France Flight 4590 ran over debris on the runway dropped by an aircraft during the preceding departure, causing a tyre to explode and disintegrate… five minutes before the Concorde departed, Continental Airlines Flight 55, a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30, took off from the same runway for Newark International Airport and lost a titanium alloy strip that was part of the engine cowl…Concorde ran over this piece of debris during its take-off…cutting the right-front tyre of its left main wheel bogie and sending a large chunk of tyre debris into the underside of the left wing… It did not directly puncture any of the fuel tanks, but it sent out a pressure shockwave that ruptured the number 5 fuel tank at its weakest point, just ahead of the left landing gear well.
Just in terms of a temperature number only matters so far. Thats all. 80F in Florida is oppressive compared to 80F in Arizona ((27°C))
Florida feel hotter because of the humidity and keeps hot at night. Idk about Vegas but southern AZ gets super cold at night in the winter. We’ve even had snow!
This is a great take. Buddhism is more a philosophy of a worldview than a religious worldview.
Buddhism taking on concepts of other religions, even deities, is upaya (skilful means). Its a way draw as many people as possible out of suffering as possible. I seem to remember that’s the whole idea of mahayana Buddhism: getting as many people as possible at least partway towards enlightenment is better than only a few all the way.
