Re: Account of the first council
Have you tried the parallel Theravada forum?
If not, https://www.dhammawheel.com/viewforum.php?f=29 could be a good starting point.

Re: Suella Braverman and Triratna
Pardon me, but IMO blithely labeling people based on ephemeral political beliefs is at bottom antithetical to a Buddhist viewpoint, and only contributes to an "us vs. them" mentality, and, usually, subtle feelings of personal superiority that are definitely at odds with Mahayana.. In resp...

Re: Suella Braverman and Triratna
Not necessarily but right-wing thinking on the whole tends to emphasize individualism over (for example rightwing philosophies like libertarianism and objectivism) - rather than altruism. IMO, objectivism (Ayn Rand, right?) is just a rationalization, a justification for being selfish. There is noth...

Re: Meditation for Anxiety
If I had to list the one negative emotion that I really struggle with, it’s anxiety. Like everyone else I have my share of frustration, sadness, anger etc. In a way it hangs over my head daily like a spectre ready to rise up. Some days it’s just a vague little feeling at the back of my mind, a litt...

Re: Original source of "So you should view this fleeting world...." (Diamond Sutra Gatha)??
... I think a lot of this is just a matter of trends in translation. These days a lot of English speakers prefer translations that have what Lawrence Venuti calls "foreignizing." Such translations don't really aim to completely assimilate a foreign text to Anglophone culture, but allow th...

Re: New research into what happens as we die
I thought that the long 'transitional' period of consciousness they have documented was particularly interesting to us as Buddhists, since it tends to support the possibility of 'conscious dying' - going into death with full awareness, or while in meditation.

New research into what happens as we die
New research into the dying brain suggests the line between life and death may be less distinct than previously thought ... In the 1970s, a small network of cardiologists, psychiatrists, medical sociologists and social psychologists in North America and Europe began investigating whether near-death...

Re: Suella Braverman and Triratna
There's not much to be gained by focusing on her professed Buddhism, since there are far more unChristian Christians in political life in the UK and (especially) the US.

Re: Meditation for Anxiety
Not specifically buddhist, but the Wim Hof breathing is very interesting and easy to do. It is very powerful. Other breathing exercice can bring a lot of help. I recommend « breathing » by James Nestor. You will get a lot from this book. A lot of precious keys. Nestor's book is called "Breath&...

Re: Printing out Buddhist practice texts with 'no reproduction' copyright notice?
Yes, the debate is endless because there are good arguments on all sides.
Anyone wanting to defend their own position has no trouble finding support for it.

Re: Printing out Buddhist practice texts with 'no reproduction' copyright notice?
“no part of this book may be reproduced for any reason by any means" In Buddhist legalese, this would be what is known as a ‘provisional teaching’. In other words, the meaning behind holds more significance than the actual wording. Even ordinary copyrights worded this way allow for some reprod...

The issue has been debated here endlessly - look up previous threads about copyright if you are so inclined.
