We are definitely in the Dharma Ending Age. I just posted two links, but it is a recurrent theme not only in the Mahayana Sutras, and meat eating is referred to as one of the signs of such degeneration. As for the meaning of that, each school gives its interpretation: for Zen folks, it just means it is harder to reach enlightenment; for the Pure Land sects, it means it is almost impossible, so it is better to wish to be reborn in Amitabha’s Pure Land.

Actually, every guideline strongly suggests that both vegans and vegetarians should take a B12 supplement.

Already downloaded on iOS, looks really promising! I’m gonna add some places looking on what’s missing comparing to other apps. If I add a place to OSM would it be available on this app too?

This statement is often misunderstood, and it doesn’t mean that you should follow what a teacher or the scriptures say. Instead, it means that you should ALSO verify everything by yourself and put into practice the teachings before calling someone fake or true. This can take a lot of time, especially for the most complex ideas and concepts, but that’s what sets Buddhism far from other religions: you have to practice; reading texts or hoping only in an external help isn’t enough for “reaching nirvana and ceasing suffering”.

Dalai Lama isn’t perfect only because it is considered a manifestation of Avalokitesvara, and he does sometimes eat meat for medical reasons, although I, as a physician, don’t know of any condition that forces someone to eat meat. Anyway I’m not from a Tibetan tradition, so I don’t know much about spiritual leaders in that branch of Buddhism.

I’ve been using Ecosia for years and it’s only improved over time. Their commitment to environmental activities is sincere and you can check everything they do through their blog. I think using it is a no brainer.

Although Shikantaza is the pivot of Dogen’s practice, he still emphasized the importance of keeping the bodhisattva precepts (and the monastic rules of course) Also in the Maka Hannya Haramitsu, he said that keeping the precepts, reciting sutras, prostration etc. all are prajna

All the downvotes lol I’m an Apple user myself, but lately Apple lost everything that used to make it different from competitors (and also lost the AI race). This was a great video, thanks!

Nice share! Mistral also shared data about one of its largest model (not the one that answer in LeChat, since that one is Medium, a smaller model, that I guess has smaller energetic requirements)

MobiOffice is US located according to App Store information, does anyone know more about this?

I love Subito.it, I’ve been using it for years by now, and it got really. Ether with its own delivery system and payment protection

No one needs to kill any being

I specified in the post that I live in Italy, so it may depends on which country does someone live in

And still many Italian people keep saying our government isn’t restricting our freedom

Thanks, I made it

You missed Satispay, it is available in different countries, made in Italy

It doesn’t. Yesterday I read an Italian newspapers saying the same thing based on a survey targeting Italian people

This. Also we already pay water bills, what’s the point in paying for more water

My country, Italy, is one of the best country when it comes to drinkable tap water distribution and quality, and yet in Europe we are the country with the highest consume of plastic bottle of water. As usual, Italian ignorance and stupidity…
