Buddhism, at root, is a method for facing the paradoxes of life and death with curiosity, appreciation, generosity, and joy.
Its starting point is the experience of ambiguity.
The natural tendency is to polarize:
to say “this is this and that is that;
I love this and hate that.”
But experience is unavoidably undefinable.
Reality refuses to fit into categories;
-- it is always in flux.
When “this” inexplicably turns into “that,”

About “Buddhism for Vampires” | Buddhism for Vampires
Buddhism For Vampires is a brutal yet cheerful take on the grislier aspects of reality. The paradox of undeath takes us to the beating heart of Buddhism.

The USAians manage to offend almost everyone these days. Here's a staggeringly bad piece of journalism about Buddhism in Nepal that somehow manages to be inaccurate, condescending, and hopelessly confused all at the same time. This would fail a first-year university essay.

Life, Death and Rebirth in Nepal, the Land of the Buddha
Starting at the birthplace of Buddhism, a writer traces how its teachings spread across Asia, transforming the continent forever.

It's hard to take an "expert" on Buddha and Buddhism seriously if they don't even pronounce those words right: 🫤
It's "bud'dha"; not "būḍa" or "booda".
I understand if you can't aspirate the "dh" sound but, please stop with the "boo". 😠

What if the worst advice you ever found turned out to be ancient wisdom in terrible packaging?
I stumbled into toxic dating content at 2am after a breakup. Between the awful takes, I heard something familiar: stop gripping outcomes.
Turns out they were badly explaining what Buddhism calls equanimity.
Sometimes truth finds us in the strangest places.

The new list of 31 is down from more than 200 previously recognized traditions that troops could choose from. The list no longer includes atheists, Unitarian Universalists, pagans and Wiccans. Service members can also choose to identify as “no religion,” “other religions” or agnostic. Also included are Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Sikhism, the Baha’i fa…
