#Labour’s new #definition of ‘ #anti-Muslim hostility’ is an
#insult to people of all other #faiths and #none.
#Sikhs get no special protections.
Nor do #Buddhists, #Hindus, #Christians or #atheists.
This will #divide #society, says Hardeep Singh
#PewResearch #Buddhists in #US rose by 22% between 2010 and 2020 outpacing the 9% growth of the non-Buddhist population during that time, but Buddhists were only 1.3% of the U.S. population in 2020. 52% of U.S. Buddhist adults were born in #Asia www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...
I can post IT as #education, but I'm not allowed to have #opinions on politics. Of course, if someone asked for my opinion. I would have to answer in a riddle like I'm freaking #Yoda.
#blasphemous? Nah, have a sense of humor. #buddhists #cosplay #buddha in the lunar festivals & parades #religiously.
#Thailand caught in the war bc of war crimes. Again, we, #Buddhists are for #WorldPeace. We are #pacifists against war, hatred and violence. We play no part in #theHolyWar. We love & respect everyone equally without prejudice. We believe in love & humanity with a passion to end sufferings on earth.
🙏 Reflections from the Grand Canyon — Yesterday, on March 6, 2026, some of our venerable monks and devoted volunteers had the privilege of visiting Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. Standing before the Grand Canyon’s magnificent expanse, we found ourselves immersed in a profound sense of peace. The vast openness reminded us of the boundless nature of loving-kindness and compassion that connects us all—to nature, to the universe, and to every being. The ancient rock formations, shaped gradually over countless ages by the patient work of wind and water, offered us a gentle teaching on impermanence. Everything changes; nothing remains the same. Yet, it is precisely this impermanence that creates such breathtaking beauty—layer upon layer of stone, carved by time into something magnificent. This understanding invites us to cherish each moment with mindfulness and gratitude. With practice, we too can cultivate peace, loving-kindness, compassion, and harmony within ourselves and toward all beings—as vast and boundless as the Grand Canyon and the endless space surrounding it. May this beautiful place remind us to walk steadily on the path of peace, anchoring our minds in these noble qualities and creating an inner beauty as magnificent as the landscape we witness here. In times when life feels overwhelming, we can remember: peace is always present, waiting to be discovered within us. It can be found in a mindful breath, in the beauty of nature around us, and in the kindness we extend to one another. We are grateful for these moments of reflection and for the opportunity to walk in peace together. May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace. 🙏 #WalkForPeace #PeaceWalk #BuddhistMonks

Khaosod English #Facebook On the occasion of Makha Bucha Day on 3 March 2026, the Supreme Patriarch Somdet Phra Ariyavongsagatanana called on Buddhists to reflect on the Buddha’s teaching of the Ovada Patimokkha, delivered to 1,250 arahant monks nine months after his enlightenment. In a message marking the holy day, the Supreme Patriarch said the core principles of Buddhism, refraining from all evil, cultivating good deeds and purifying the mind, remain central to addressing suffering in today’s world. He emphasized that purifying the mind requires wisdom to recognize and overcome defilements, or kilesa, which the Buddha classified into 10 types, including greed, hatred, delusion, pride and wrong view. Understanding these mental impurities, he said, allows individuals to guard their thoughts and actions, preventing harm to others and fostering peace. The Supreme Patriarch urged Buddhists to examine their own conduct and strive to reduce defilements through mindfulness and self discipline, describing such practice as the highest form of reverence to the Buddha’s teachings.

#dalailama encourages #buddhists (s) to reduce their desires as desire causes suffering. As someone who grew up #catholic I don't think there's a western equivalent Sure, Christians are supposed to renounce acquisition of material possessions but hardly anyone does. #easternphilosophy ➡️is the way
would any #Buddhists on here like to share their thoughts on #hope with me? I know it's not something we really talk about, but if you have thoughts or links to articles, I'd love to hear them (incl. thoughts on why we don't really talk about hope)
it's for a talk I'm writing, thanks in advance 🙏
This image shows a painted depiction of the “sleeping Buddha” – not his death, but his release. He lies recumbent on a bed strewn with flowers, while countless followers in monks’ robes bow their heads against folded hands in prayer.

Blessings on #Paranirvana Day! #Mahayana #Buddhists all over the world celebrate this day as the anniversary of Buddha’s release from karma and the cycle of suffering. Follow the link for more about this #holiday. Do you celebrate Paranirvana Day?

Why is it when they interview "Faith" leaders in the #TwinCities they never include #Wiccans, #Buddhists, #Siikhs, #Hindus, #Druids, etc. ?? Talking to you Adam Duxter @wcconews.bsky.social
HH #DalaiLama pray for a deceased family member may be highest spiritual practice that ordinary #Tibetan #Buddhists hope for. In #Mundgod many got opportunity to seek his prayers. But 6 million #Tibetans in #Tibet are denied that by #China, leaving an unhealable wound in #Tibetan people's mind.
Was fortunate to join the lines of people out to greet the March for Peace Buddhist monks as they came into Richmond, VA this icy afternoon.

#Buddhists creates oil paintings 800 years before Jan van Eyck, the “father of oil painting”.
Like, oh, #WCGW if we genicode millions of #buddhists in the #IndoChinesePeninsula? I guess, a #WalkForPeace through the #DeepSouthDeepStates of the #KKK. We've been #netural against war. Now, the message is universal. We, buddhists are against warring. We're for #UniversalHumanRights & #WorldPeace✌️
#buddhists in #America are #pacifists by #SacredOrder🙏 and have #ReligiousFreedom Against Military Draft to fight in a #war that we don't believe in. we, buddhists do no evil, no harm, no hate, war or violence. The buddhahood is for #WorldPeace, by all means necessary, pls, don't disturb the peace.😆
What many don’t know: While all #Monks are #Buddhists, not all Buddhists are Monks
A monk wearing saffron robes, his head shaved, walking peacefully while carrying a begging bowl, is a common way for many #people

Let it go. If it wasn't meant to be the lord wouldn't have allow his kingdoms to fall. Humbling isn't it? got selfish? And it was never about us, but humanity. We can break the curse. All we #buddhists have to do is get righteous. Stop being sexist and racist. Find your manners. They come naturally!
Yeah. Like I wanna put my soul on the line to give #Christians more time to come to their senses and find their #humanity. meanwhile all kkk-nazis want to do is want to genicode #asians, #muslims and #buddhists especially #theravada. Save people who want to kill me & my people? That's fucking nuts.
#ChristoFascists #CorporateStateMedia do not want to cover the "buddhists" #WalkForPeace. Now, you in the west should know what the #VietnamWar in the #IndochinesePeninsula was all about. It was to genicode #buddhists, especially #theravada buddhists.
#Buddhism means stupidity. It's often hyped as peaceful and rational, but consider the things Buddhists believe: #Buddhists believe that the soul bounces through endless lives, with #karma deciding whether you're reborn as a king or a bug. Evidence for this? None whatsoever!
