Re: What does "bump" mean in a reply?
Yes, that's an interesting point. And I was raised old school Roman Catholic, so when I started attending sangha events many years later, I felt right at home with all the bells and candles and incense. I sometimes joke I had previously been in the right pew but the wrong church.

Re: What does "bump" mean in a reply?
My handle came from a wall poster similar to this one that a friend had in college in the 70's. I had no clue how appropriate it would be later. :smile: https://i3.cpcache.com/merchandise/18134217/53_750x750_Front_Color-NA.jpg?AttributeValue=NA&c=False&OrientationNo=1®ion={%22name%22:...

Re: What does "bump" mean in a reply?
"Bump" is usually applied to a post that the poster would like to have some/additional response. It just moves that post to the beginning of the thread. It will then hopefully be seen and responded to more quickly.

Re: My last will and testament

Good thing that you're a therapist, Greg...the reference was Shakespeare and not Folsom Street. Always thought that line had more potential appli...

Re: Question about Siddhis/Research/Spreading the Dharma
... If I met a person who could walk through walls, I'd sure as hell pay close attention to their knowledge of the universe. Fine, but that's you. Plenty of others would just want to know how to do it themselves, preferably without studying with a dharma teacher for 30 or 40 years. Who's to say you...

Re: tombstones
Perhaps this thread could serve that purpose?
Some people might just want to leave a remembrance rather than a formal request for prayers from a group. I think there was something like that here at one time, it had candle emoji's maybe?, but I can't remember where it was.

Just to add a quick but important caveat for those pursuing alternative medicines - please be sure to check the sources of whatever substance(s) you apply or ingest. The word "natural" as applied to a description has no legal definition in the US, so it is incumbent on the buyer to their h...

Re: Prayers for Geshe missing in Washington State
Thanks for the update. I traveled through that area via motorcycle years ago, it's a mountainous, very heavily wooded and isolated section of Idaho, but many teachers have experience living in those conditions. Making aspirations for Rinpoche's safe return.

Prayers for Geshe missing in Washington State
Geshe Dadul Namgyal has been missing in the Pend Oreille area since last Tuesday. If you can, please offer prayers and aspirations that Geshe-la is found quickly.
