#buddhists — Public Fediverse posts

A temple #graft turning point
"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"

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.

#Wisdom from Jane Goodall: "It’s only western #science that has been so divorced from the natural world. If you go to #indigenous people, or #Buddhists they completely understand that we’re one with #nature."

Dear Fiends of #meditation,
Believe it or not (and I certainly don't) I go to the #Hell #realms to help feed the list of the lost or is it the last of the list?

Not sure...

Oh yes some of us #Tantric #Buddhists, get stuck in negative places doing good. Or indeed good places, unsure of what is next.
Whatever is next we prepare. Basically by #mind, #body and #speech #training or other methods of #mindful effort. 🦋
