Buddhist Philosopher: First post from Word 2007

http://buddhistphilosopher.blogspot.com/2009/02/first-post-from-word-2007.html

My thoughts on Buddhism and western philosophy. Formerly a blog on the compatibility of WoW and Buddhism - I quit WoW so I can't really comment on that anymore. Tuesday, February 24, 2009. First post from Word 2007. This is a test. I hope that it works. Word tells me that it was successfully registered. It will be much easier for me to publish from this program I think. We shall see. Moral dilemma: do I enable the ads to make money from my nonexistent readers or do I leave it alone? I'll sleep on it.

Buddhist Philosopher: The Beginning

http://buddhistphilosopher.blogspot.com/2008/11/beginning.html

My thoughts on Buddhism and western philosophy. Formerly a blog on the compatibility of WoW and Buddhism - I quit WoW so I can't really comment on that anymore. Friday, November 14, 2008. We are what we link. All that we are arises from our clicks. Recently I've been contemplating if I can play video games (specifically World of Warcraft) and still be a Buddhist. What does it mean when I call myself a Buddhist? As (I'm omitting the definitions that clearly don't help):. Commitment or devotion to religious.

The Theravada Version of The Big Sit. From: http:/ www.tricycle.com/-practice/the-big-sit. The magazine proposes a Zen Buddhist sitting challenge, but since I am more of a Theravada Buddhist I will have to modify it. It is unfortunate that I didn't come across this until today, so my 90 days begins today. Next it tal...

Vitakka Vicara: Election Results

http://vitakkavicara.blogspot.com/2008/11/election-results.html

All states of being are determined by mind. It is mind that leads the way. *. Saturday, November 15, 2008. Mara's always at the controls, isn't he? It's when we let go of the controlling instinct that we start to see beyond views and opinions to the light beyond. And, in this light of awareness, there's nobody at the helm, no one controlling things, just natural processes going their own way. G at 'Buddha Space'. December 3, 2008 at 6:19 AM. It seems that I've got a bit of a faulty switch! Buddhism A to Z.

Vitakka Vicara: March 2008

You know that little hourglass that appears on your computer screen when the processor is waiting for something and all the brain power is sucked up in the effort? I know that's not a technical, or even very accurate description. Being a tech challenged individual that's how I understand it.). And what about the internal monitor through which I view the world. Who decides what shows up on the screen?

Recently it struck me that I've been spending a lot of time splashing around in them, which tends to make them deeper – and sloppier. Struggle too much and one can become stuck! I've been stuck for some time now. How is it possible to get stuck? They're only puddles. Well, my mind can transform a simple puddle into a raging river or quicksand or a bottomless pit. But if...

All states of being are determined by mind. It is mind that leads the way. *. Saturday, November 15, 2008. Saturday, November 8, 2008. There was a very popular video game in the early 80's called Frogger. The object of the game was to get frogs to their homes one by one. The frogs had to cross a busy road and then navigate a river filled with an assortment of hazards. Be doing instead of lying in a hospital bed feeling foolish. Without mindfulness we suddenly dart out, blind to the danger. It's reall...
