I’ve been interested in Buddhism since high school (mid1980s). Thich Nhat Hanh, zen flesh zen bones, Gary Snyder, and Beginner’s Mind from the local library. My interest grew from there. So mainly Mahayana. I didn’t think the tradition of Buddhism should matter as a “convert.” I have mainly learned about Mahayana and Vajrayana for most of my life.

The pandemic sparked a new deep dive into learning and practice. “Tibetan Book of the dead” and everything Thich Nhat Hanh. It was in looking deeper into Thich Nhat Hanh’s source materials that got me into Theravada. 

I hope you find something helpful in this look at Zen through a Theravada lense.

@thunderbird is looking for a good #PeerTube instance for hosting their videos.

I'm not too used to peertube right now, any recommendations from the #foss community? I like that Thunderbird would like to use peertube :)

♲ @thunderbird@mastodon.online:

Are there any PeerTube instances you recommend? We don't have the resources (read: time) to host our own right now.

There's a topic discussion system on the Fedivsere called Guppe, which functions a bit like old-fashioned email discussion lists.

The way it works is this:

1. You can find discussion topics listed at https://a.gup.pe

2. Follow a topic's account address to follow the discussion. The account address format is @ TopicName @ a.gup.pe (but without the spaces).

3. Mention the topic's account address in your own post to add it to the discussion

For example, the "Plants" discussion is happening at @ plants @ a.gup.pe (but without the spaces), and if you follow this account you'll see the discussion's posts in your timeline. If you @ this account in a post, your post will be added to the "Plants" discussion.

If you want to leave the discussion, just unfollow the topic's account.

If you want to create a new topic, search for "AT (new topic) AT a.gup.pe".

FYI gringos, Latin American migrants are not "fleeing communism", they are fleeing the predatory economic policies that Washington has imposed on us (dubbed "The Washington Consensus"). Said policies have been imposed via economic pressure, coup d'etat, sanctions, murder or attempted murder, invasions or plain robbery, like we can see in the case of the Venezuelan gold.
