  10. The article decries detachment, criticizing how "we act as if anything sincere or effortful is cringe"—yet detachment is far from a natural stance and itself requires effort, mindfulness, and care (cf. #Buddhism). As such, detachment is not synonymous with apathy; though the author uses those terms interchangeably. Similarly, detachment isn't a "reflex" and it neither "is safe" nor "risks nothing." For example, some people who try it become "vulnerable to embarrassment" due to relative emotional unavailability, maybe leading to social rejection. Indeed, JA Westenberg almost gets close to recognizing that, claiming that detachment makes us "lose the capacity for earnest connection."

    Contrary to what JA Westenberg implies in the main, sincerity and detachment aren't opposites. Rather, the opposite of detachment is more like élan—that terrific word the author uses. Furthermore, both detachment and élan might be sincere or might not. Both detachment and élan might come from "conviction" or might not. And both detachment and élan might exude "joy" or might not. Yet for detachment, the conviction or joy could be fairly quiet: like that of taking a long, solitary hike. I believe the key is whether we adopt an attitude of either detachment or élan primarily for show (to influence how others see us, which JA Westenberg wisely opposes doing) or for deeper, non-performative reasons.

  14. It's The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep: Practices for Awakening by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, if you're interested. (And FFS don't buy it from Amazon.) Buy from a brick-and-mortar preferably independent bookstore.

    Or from me, if you like, at my little virtual storefront (I always wanted to own a bookstore!):

  16. Finding the Middle Way: Reality exists via Two Truths. Ultimate Truth reveals Emptiness (the lack of intrinsic essence.) Conventional Truth shows existence through Dependent Origination and mental labels. Avoid Eternalism (clinging to permanence) and Nihilism (denying causality). Realize that emptiness IS dependent origination! ☸️

  20. The whole 'room' of awareness is an impermanent mental fabrication -- both your perceived self and your perceived environment. Like a dream, it's a packaged self-world which either all appears together or all disappears together.

  23. 2026-7-16 There is no division between self and other

    I drew this after my recent art workshop in partnership with ME Action! I felt so much connection and awe (also, exhaustion and brain fried ofc).

    Thank you everyone who participated in the workshop or helped make it happen in any way. It was truly magic.

    P.S. I have art in an art exhibition about art for therapy & health, and I think the exhibit is really incredibly curated. I can’t believe 21 views of long covid received an honorable mention amongst so many phenomenal artists’ & powerful pieces!

    You can check out the virtual gallery here:

  24. The ancient #Buddhist site of #Sarnath has been added to the #UNESCO #WorldHeritage List, becoming #India’s 45th World Heritage Site.

    Sarnath is traditionally regarded as the place where the #Buddha gave his first teaching after attaining #awakening, setting the "Wheel of #Dharma in motion" and marking the beginning of the Buddhist #Sangha.
