And sometimes I have to swat flies. #Religion is #practiced by those that #know it. So your #criticism is absolutely #flawed. Your #analysis is of a #hater and #troll. One more comment out of this #account and you're gone. You don't say things other people ever need to say. So sorry for you.

#Buddha was not a god- #human. #important in #Theravāda, a-man who: #struggled, #practiced, #awakened the Noble pathway.
#PaliCanon, #teachings of the Buddha. #PaliLanguage — #chanting
The way forward. The way #forward is together. We're not #practiced at it. It's going to feel #uncomfortable and rumply and don't #apologize too much because we all get it. So lean in. Say hi to a couple of people that you've never talked to that follow you and that you follow back. Why not?
Another way to talk about #solution to #include everybody is to say whatever #God is to you, you're highest, if you're not serving that every second, then you don't understand #surrender to #win. The #principles are bigger than any #individual. When principles are #practiced they fucking work.

The Tiny Dog leaped onto my lap in an unprecedented move earlier. I thought she was finally accepting me as her new mammy. Then a few tiny squeaks emanated from her tummy. Ah. Squeaky wind equals fear means she leaps up to see if I can fix it. She’s not daft. I could. #babycolic #practiced
