  1. The historic Fifth Ward building in Salt Lake City. Originally an LDS meeting House, this building has also been a goth club and a Buddhist monastery. It's been over 2 years since the landlord illegally tried to knock the whole thing down. Nothing has happened since.

    "Temples rely on #public donations, but #oversight is thin..🧐 Faith, too, is often used to shut down #accountability. Many #Buddhists r raised not to question monks. Doubt feels like disrespect; criticism, almost a sin.. Te #law makes matters worse. Under te #Sangha sys, abbots hold near-total control over temple assets.. Faith doesn't exclude accountability; it requires it. Te concentration of power w'in te clergy also needs to be addressed"

  16. Xa Loi Pagoda in #Saigon was a hub of opposition to the Diem #USPuppet government. In 1963, Diem had his domestic terrorists attack the monastery. They arrested 1,400 monks, nuns & patriarch.

    In 1963, faced with a coup, Diem tried to escape from the tunnels under one of his houses [now the Ho Chi Minh City Museum] to the perceived safety of Cha Tam Church in Cholon. Here he was captured and assassinated.

    The #coup was staged by the #USA, the same USA who had brought him to power.

  21. It’s interesting where people fail to realize that the provenance of #Peace and #SelfDefense are not mutually exclusive. Skillful means are required for both faces of the coin. Even #Buddhists realize that defensive responsibilities are incurred when life is under threat and all other paths are blocked. Martial skills are neither forgotten nor neglected. As with everything else, training, discipline and discernment are emphasized. Never assume inherently peaceful people don’t know how to fight

  29. I've spent time around active Zen practitioners (real ones, not posers) in a few great periods of my life.

    One thing I love about Zen Buddhists is what I think of as their flintiness.

    They can be as compassionate as the day is long, but in my experience, they cede no ground to dangerous nonsense.

    Absolute role models.
