This forum is used by humans and can't be other than directionless.
Directionless is good and rich.

Buddhists are budhists when they do Buddhist things .In order to keep a Buddhist forum budhist they'll know that they will have to do Buddhist things
Re: The board and its direction (if any)
Ooops missed your first Q.
A Buddhist is anyone whose speech acts indicates that s/he self identifies as such.
All the rest is just window dressing and daft clothes..

But what if it is the Buddhists that are getting the malas bored off them?Osho wrote:In a psychoneuroimmunological sense.

Re: The board and its direction (if any)
Bored!!!!
A Buddhist?
Obviously the wrong sort of Buddhist if boredom features.
Should be locked in a room and made to chant Nembutsu 'til they see sense.
That'd cure 'em.

Re: The board and its direction (if any)
Sanskrit's subtler.
There's a present continuous tense.
Greek too..... the aoristic
"To keep on keeping on"
doesn't quite do it justice, but close enough.

Re: The board and its direction (if any)
Forum membership to any particular forum (Buddhist) or otherwise is not a prerequisite to learning and particpating in what interests you.dharmagoat wrote:Ironically, considering my stance against mysticism in general, I am one of those that came to Buddhism via Theosophy and the occult, reading such authors as I. K. Taimni and Dion Fortune in my youth. Although I have absolutely no interest in these traditions now, I agree that their part in bringing Buddhist ideas to the West is an interesting topic for discussion, but wince at the idea that either Theosophy or the occult could have any relevance to Western Buddhism now.

“We are each living in our own soap opera. We do not see things as they really are. We see only our interpretations. This is because our minds are always so busy...But when the mind calms down, it becomes clear. This mental clarity enables us to see things as they really are, instead of projecting our commentary on everything.” Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo.
