    More great, practical instruction and advice from Phakchok Rinpoche for meditators and new Vajrayana students.

  2. 📖 On my recent visit to the #Museum for #EastAsianArt here in #Cologne, I discovered that the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin have just recently published an entire book about the #Thai #Traiphum (“Three Worlds”; ➡️ fabriziomusacchio.com/blog/202) manuscript, a richly illustrated 18th-century depiction of the #Buddhist cosmos. Needless to say, I got myself a copy 😅

  3. "Villagers and #Buddhist #monks in #Hiriketiya have launched a #protest calling for the removal of a recently established #Chabad House in the popular southern coastal area.

    The protest comes a month after the new #ChabadHouse opened in Hiriketiya."

    There are better articles with some additional content in the Jewish press but I thought I'd stick to a Sri Lankan news outlet since we're never covered in the Sri Lankan press because we barely exist in that country ffs.

  4. #Kamakura : "Among the many other treasures on display is a crowned image of Shakayamuni from the temple of #Kenchōji. The #museum is an ideal place to encounter some of the finest examples of Kamakura #Buddhist #sculpture up close and get a sense for the distinctive style of eastern #Japan, which developed separately from the earlier styles seen in the temples of Kyoto and Nara. The museum is closed for renovations until October 23, 2026, but is well worth a visit once it reopens."

  5. Obon: Japan’s festival of ancestors
    Held August 13–16, #Obon is a #Buddhist festival to honor ancestors’ spirits. Families light lanterns to guide souls home, while Bon Odori dances fill the streets with joy. Kyoto’s Obon stands out for Gozan no Okuribi: five giant mountain kanji fires illuminating the night sky. A moving blend of memory, light, and tradition. #JapaneseCulture #Matsuri #Summertime

  6. In #Sansuikyō, #Dōgen discusses the dynamic nature of #Dharmas (he exemplifies this with mountains ⛰️ & waters 🌊), emphasizing that they are not fixed entities but relational, self-expressing realities. Mountains move, waters see themselves & all beings perceive differently. This challenges human-centered views & highlights the active, interpenetrating nature of reality in #Buddhist thought. Here is a brief summary and discussion of the text:
