DONT TOUCH THE PC posted:Lol, mindfulness is not Buddhism. It's a business fraud with charlatans and predators. Mindfulness is an outgrowth of Buddhism and has a lot of clinically proven benefits. It's just been hijacked by HR types who don't want to actually listen to what their employees want (source: fiance is a social worker who uses it with heroin recover-ers, I work in HR and have watched it proliferate E: mostly with disgust but I work in data and have no control over this poo poo)

Barry Foster posted:It is undeniably a middle class thing, though, and while I'm sure it would be varying shades of useful for different people, it's complete bullshit that only the bourg (of which I am admittedly a part) get access to CBT or whatever it takes to cope with all this shite You can access CBT in the UK through the NHS for free. There's a bit of wait for it though.

It's severely undersupplied and she works herself ragged to do it, but ppl can get it. The validity of a method is separate from its supply and accessibility anyway. Yeah it sucks that only white collar ppl can get it for now, but it's still useful as long as you are sensitive to not blaming ppl too heavily for their attitudes (which I've heard is a downside to it at times)

from graeber's debt, page 265:quote:The Chinese Buddhist approach to charity was nothing if not multifaceted. Festivals often led to vast outpourings of contributions, with wealthy adherents vying with one another in generosity, often driving their entire fortunes to the monasteries, in the forms of oxcarts laden with millions of strings of cash-a kind of economic self-immolation that paralleled the spectacular monastic suicides. Their contributions swelled the Inexhaustible Treasuries. Some would be given to the needy, particularly in times of hardship. Some would be loaned. One practice that hovered between charity and business was providing peasants with alternatives to the local moneylender. Most monasteries had attendant pawnshops where the local poor could place some valuable possession-a robe, a couch, a mirror-in hock in exchange for low-interest loans.

Hella absolving personal responsibility from any actions you take. Zen by itself doesn't really have a whole lot to do with morality. Moridin920 has issued a correction as of 18:41 on Jan 2, 2019 |

Humans are garbage and can gently caress up even the best ideas given time so really the inevitable giant asteroid is really the only permanent solution.

the nerdlords are gonna try to make one lard fried bacon pie or whatever, give up, and throw that book in the ocean or something. The internet makes cookbooks entirely obsolete, especially so for printed ones. At this point they're just printed food blogs. Also Buddhism has some really good ideas that people ignored, misunderstood, or simply didn't care about them and used it to justify being a lovely person. See Christianity, Communism, My Little Pony, and basically every other thing people use to try and understand the world. The only solution is to be postmodern, queer as a three dollar bill, tell nazis to post their dicks, give up on ever seeing something real, and smoke a lot of pot. Then get angry and politicized to the left. Or, as I like to say, do my 2018. e: cake guy, I don't think that's Champagne, France champagne. If you have a twitter account you manage, you're not the %1.

There's a bit of wait for it though. my lil Midwest college town used to have a public mental health service staffed by at least two proteges of the DBT originator, and was constantly lauded as the only US public health center with that level of talk therapy care- they quit to form a private practice last year after the last wave of funding cuts
