At least Mahayana Buddhists recognize the Buddha nature (potential for enlightenment) in all sentient beings. But, yes, in general, such reasons are why i prefer to read words of those that came before me, rather than interact with leaders and followers of a sect (same with christianity and many of its followers, lol)

Oh yeah, another great tip!

Especially when i tell you it took him 5 or 6 good hits until he finally got up the nerve to hit hard enough to get the intended result. It was hard to watch! 🤣

Yes, as someone that was sexually abused as a child, it was hard for me to overlook that one. It would be different if we hadn’t had so much in the news about the abuses of the Catholic priests over the years. Even someone supposedly detached from his sensuality should understand the optics of such a move to others, and should practice extra caution around children. Edit: but, we also can’t see in his heart, so it’s not on us to condemn him, karma will handle that.

Yeah, and it is also great for developing more plasticity in the brain, great for people that have a history of dementia in their family. Also, why I picked up learning to play the drums during covid. Software such as Melodics can even make it more fun by gamifying it.

Great one. Also, try walking around a more affluent area than the one you live. You’d be surprised how often you can get a high end lawn mower for free that just needs a $15 tune up kit (or nothing these days if the owner happened to buy an electric).

Our public library has a whole 18 hole putt-putt golf setup that they trailer and set up inside the various branches during the year. Kids play during the day and the adults pay to play after hours with free drinks and Hors d'Oeuvres. Usually a silent raffle as well (I won 3 six packs of beer and a tasting set of glasses last month)

Yeah, it’s usually how I talk my wife into going for a walk. “But, I’d have to take a shower and do my hair.” “You know we won’t see anyone after the first 3-5 minutes” “fine” 🤣

Walking more than .25 miles from the parking lot on park trails

lol reminds me of the substitute band teacher we had a few times in high school. A trombone player in front of me (rightfully) hated the old bastard so much that he punched himself in the nose to get a nosebleed in order to leave class for the day.

Well, that one I would also put on the employer for not providing a more environmentally friendly/anti-consumption option. But, agree with the sentiment
