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.

Re: Academic papers discussing TMC and Ayurveda
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.

Re: The Disapearance of Pennsylvania Dutch in America

My family line is not of German origin (although I do have a late Bavarian uncle) although I do live in what is considered the New York Dutch area, which is loosely adjacent to the Greater Pennsylvania Dutch area. The area was settled by and comprised of Holland Dutch ...

Thanks for this, very interesting. My grandparents were of Irish descent, they lived and farmed in southeastern Pennsylvania (Chester County) for many years, there were some Amish nearby. Later I lived in southern Chester County, right on the Lancaster County border, and we had Amish farms all aroun...

Re: This Guy is Really Interesting
Something about people who work with land and growing makes a person easy to like. Possibly true if you're referring to the hippie-type back-to-the-land save-the-planet folks. Perhaps not quite so true with corporate/factory farmers or some other less-enlightened types. There are farmers in some ru...

Re: Dealing with hyper-awareness of NOISE.

No surprise. They can really keep their secrets. I think, the reason is rather, being a woman feels like being invisible in many professionell contexts.
