All dharmas are subject to Pratītyasamutpāda.
Because of this all dharmas are Anattā (devoid of a permanent, self sustaining self).
Śūnyatā is the single word that encapsulates both and carries the ultimate essence of the Dharma.

you see how cartoons back in the day were so smooth and slow? the conversations, the pauses, the transitions from one frame to another. everything felt so calm, like there was no rush to get anywhere. i miss that kind of storytelling. we’ve gone from that to 15 second content and our attention spans have never been the same

Mahayana takes even stricter stance to those who slander the Buddha and Slander the Law of sutra.
They will be in Avici hell for Aeons.
Please don't speak falsehood on Buddhism and Buddha
Please, you will go to hell like Devdatta.
Please stop.

Good Morning everyone!
May clarity replace confusion
May the impure turn to purity
May the hateful learn benevolence
May the obsessed acquire detachment
May the furious aspire to tranquility
May all beings procure virtues that lead to happiness within&without

Japan culturally is one of the goatest country ever.
So much of my childhood memories from video games, anime & cartoon is due to that country.

when I die I shall be remembered as someone that loved the dhamma deeply.
the dhamma makes the human life worth living
a life without the dhamma is like a plate without food, useless
pls write that on my grave when I die

Interesting comment to see. Not that I'm bothered about Hindu internal affairs. I just want to use this opportunity to remind people to understand how revolutionary the Buddha was in accepting food from people of a low caste, and Ānanda was in drinking water from a Matanga woman.
Yāvatā buddhakhettamhi, ṭhapayitvā mahāmuniṃ Dhutaguṇe visiṭṭhohaṃ, sadiso me na vijjati.
As far as the Buddha’s domain extends, setting aside the Great Sage, I am distinguished in austerity there is no one like me.

“ถ้ารักด้วยใจปนกิเลส
จะเป็นเหตุแห่งความทุกข์
แต่ถ้ารักด้วยใจที่ใสบริสุทธิ์
จะเป็นเหตุแห่งความสุขของใจ”

mostly important and some totally negotiable green flags in people :
When you share good news, they say “sādhu, sādhu, sādhu.
they follow the middle way ..... avoiding both extremes, i double texting and ghosting.
They can recite the opening of the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta: "dveme, bhikkhave, antā pabbajitena na sevitabbā....."
they read the words of the Tathāgata.
They’ve done 111,110 prostrations for ngöndro.
If they agree to dinner on an uposatha day, they show up at 11:30am.
They keep the five precepts.
They’re not mean to you, ever.
They introduced you to the nature of your mind before introducing you to their parents

ชั้นพบว่าหลายๆ คนที่วิพากษ์วิจารณ์พระพุทธเจ้า กับคำสอนนู่นนี่ บอกว่าเหยียดเพศบ้าง ปิตาบ้าง ไม่เคยลองฝึกจิตตามที่ท่านสอนเลย ทั้งที่แก่นมันคือการฝึกจิตให้อยู่กับปัจจุบันขณะ แล้วการฝึกจิตเล่าไปก็เท่านั้น จนกว่าจะฝึกและรู้ด้วยตนเอง ถึงรู้ว่าที่ท่านสอนเป็นจริงตามนั้น
Yo ca vassasataṃ jīve, apassaṃ udayabbayaṃ.
Ekāhaṃ jīvitaṃ seyyo, passato udayabbayaṃ. |
Though one should live for a hundred years without seeing the arising and passing away of phenomena, one day of life is better for one who sees their arising and passing away.

He renounces nonsense and refrains from meaningless words. He speaks appropriately, factually, meaningfully, in accordance with the Dharma, and with humility. He speaks precisely, with logic, in measured words, at the right time, in the right direction, and with a purpose.
