Interesting. Money in the US has "In God We Trust," and it's not inherently religious. So I'm not sure the proclamation makes Thanksgiving religious. The origins might, though. I don't know enough about it to tell,

Could be going down the rabbit hole with this comment, but cancer is an extremely generic term - lots of different organ and cell types. And smoking is also less well defined than one might think - additives to cigarettes and paper are not,

Many of the people who participated in these events are realizing the consequences, and trying to hide their actions. Good for these groups for preserving the records.

In my sect of Buddhism, we don't do "contemplation of death" meditation. What we are taught is to consider our last moment before death, so we can approach it (which is the beginning of our existence in death) in the proper

I was being sarcastic; should not have assumed that would have been understood. Certainly room for improvement regarding Japan's Covid's management strategy, but I live in the US so shouldn't really throw stones from my glas

Not surprising. Haven't seen much if anything of him in the media since he announced Japan's complete victory over Covid 19 right before things started reopening.

Can't tell what his lineage is from what I have read. The temple that I belong to was founded in Japan. The honorifics we use to describe our High Priest and other priests are never used by then to describe themselves. That posture is

Wow. The author of this book calls himself an arhat. That is, shall I say, presumptuous? Not what I think I would look for in a Buddhist teacher (though, full disclosure, I practice Buddhism with a school I am very happy with so already hav

Masks alone are probably not enough. But they do seem to help when combined with other preventative measures. My impression in the US is that people continue not to take this seriously, which causes us to be lax in the basic measures that c

Some of us don't have the space for a separate home office. That being said, I WFHed part time before the pandemic, so the new part for me is being home 100 percent of the time. My workspace is a table in my (multipurpose) living room.
