Buddhist Publication Review Websites
Greetings to all. Please move the thread if I've placed it in an inadequate section. I'm looking for a website that concentrates and reviews Buddhist publications, whether books or academic papers, course thesis and such other kinds of literary output. I remember coming across a website with that ki...

Re: Depreciating Christmas
I'm just glad that it is over, all the phony "feel good", "I'm not a sociopath anymore", "there's no suffering" horse manure, the Santa Claus hysteria, rampant materialism, commercial campaigns and intrusive ads everywhere, annoying jingles and George Michael and Mariah...

Re: Online Buddhist Sanskrit Course
Hey, this sounds quite interesting, I'd be willing to participate as well. My only concern is that I have rotating shifts and my schedule is sometimes altered shortly beforehand, therefore I worried to commit to it and then eventually not being able to attend on some of the dates. Let me know if tha...

Re: World Cup 2022
Okay, that was thoroughly epic. Probably the best final ever in the competition and Messi's crowning achievement as probably the best player there ever was. Does anyone remember the first game lost to Saudi Arabia?

Re: World Cup 2022
Morocco presented a remarkable game, they gave all they had in each ball dispute and were much faster, more focused, precise and dangerous in their attacking ventures. Portugal's effort was sluggish and predictable, they seemed to be lacking confidence, many usually influential players were present ...

Re: World Cup 2022
That last minute Netherlands free kick goal was something else, but Messi's assist on the first goal was not less spectacular.

Re: World Cup 2022
Always a joy to watch the underdog knock down the bigger doggo! Brazil, as usual, projected itself as the winner of the competition in advance , but Croatia neutralized them quite well and I'm glad they came out on top. Curious as to whether Argentina will be able to vanquish the Dutch, a pale shado...

Re: World Cup 2022
And since you mention him, Pepe, now the oldest scorer in WC knock-out stages, is a natural born leader and much fitter captain than that whiny self-obsessed prima donna. Pepe is also quite a dirty player... I'm a Barça fan though so I have very little love for him :tongue: He was a real thug back ...

Re: World Cup 2022
Portugal have overwhelmed Switzerland… Morocco vs Portugal could turn out to be a pretty interesting game, two underdogs fighting for a place in the sun, with Morocco arguably a bit more lower of a dog. Portugal are not underdogs if they play without CR7. The dude is dragging down the entire team. ...

Re: World Cup 2022
Portugal have overwhelmed Switzerland… Key to the game: the diva was benched. And the squad did the rest. When you don't have to sacrifice your whole team to cater to a spoiled narcissist, good things can happen. Morocco vs Portugal could turn out to be a pretty interesting game, two underdogs figh...

Re: World Cup 2022
Way to go, Morocco!
Now let's see if they're meeting Portugal or Switzerland. In theory Portugal is much superior, but as this WC has shown now plenty of times, theory means nothing at all on the pitch.

Re: World Cup 2022
Good grief, those penalty shots by Japan were atrocious, embarassing really. Shame, I was hoping they could follow through to the quarter-finals.

Re: World Cup 2022
The dark horses in this tournament so far, are Senegal, Morocco and argusbly Portugal. Eh... Portugal would really have a chance at reaching the latter stages, if Ronaldo were to be benched. His current ego trip is doing great harm to the teams' focus and aspirations and as long as he remains in th...

Re: World Cup 2022
Football as a sport has a really good feature in that everybody can play it. It doesn't cost much money at all, and you can do it even with a cheap ball. Last World Cup was watched by 3.57 billion people or so. Basically half the planet. There's 29,208 football teams in Brazil alone. There's over a...

Re: World Cup 2022
Very interesting World Cup so far, so many surprising results, the stars seem to be aligning for an underdog to take the Cup, perhaps. Excited to see if there are a couple of giant-tumbling matches during this round of 16. Rooting for Japan to go through and see if the USA pulls up one from under th...

Re: World Cup 2022
Ronaldo is an active ex-player , a reformed narcissist looking solely to fetch new records, and is bringing down Portugal's squad which is one of the best in their history. Definitely not an exemplary captain of a national team in any way, shape or form, very embarassing to witness particularly due ...

Re: World Cup 2022
I'm surprised with USA's performance against England and to be honest I was rooting for them to score and win. The USA team had plenty of opportunities and played eye-to-eye against them, despite England's undeniable better squad. We'll see how it goes against Iran, but if the team is focused and Gi...
