What Pope Francis actually said: "what you don't know won't hurt you, unless it's a CIA transdermal hemostatic agent from sedevacantist JD Vance's handshake..."

—sorry! No mention of Buddhism; must be a different quote.

This one is the best in a while

That's quite a soup to serve!

my family wasn't this strict, but in some sects of buddhism you're not allowed to eat the "five pungent vegetables", onions garlic shallots leeks and umm chives i think, really any of those kind of vegetables. probably some monk ages ago was tired of onion farts stinking up the temple. anyways, one time my brother made a soup using all five of them. he said, "one sip of this, and you'll be reincarnated as a flea."

"A sign installed in the largest wildfire burn I’ve ever seen, along the BC/YK border. Borrowing the aesthetics of BC Recreation Site signs, once again pointing to the overlaps of outdoor recreation, resource extraction, and the consequences of the climate crisis. Most recreation sites in BC exist along previously built logging and mining roads.

“Forced into a great and difficult transformation” was a line I heard in a lecture on Buddhist philosophy I was listening to on my drive up north. But it became another mantra I thought about while living in a place that’s been utterly transformed by resource extraction over the past century, and as I thought about the burnt landscapes I drove through."

I was getting arranged married to Jesus Christ on the beach. I was super upset, but my family kept telling me that I didn't have a choice. I'm a Buddhist lesbian...

Luohan Temple 罗汉寺 is a Buddhist temple located in Chongqing city, China. It is the site of the Buddhist Association of Chongqing.

This temple was built by a prominent monk Zuyue 祖月 in the Zhiping period (1064–1067) of the Song Dynasty (960–1276). At that time it was called "Zhiping Temple".

The temple was renovated and expanded in the following Ming and Qing dynasties, and also during the ROC and PRC eras.
