#DrSethBuddhClass I took a 7 week yoga class 2 years ago and yeah it gets intense not just physically but also keeping yourself focused on proper breathing can be hard

#DrSethBuddhClass I like how in some forms of Buddhism meditation is not just sitting still but includes doing everyday things with consciousness which could include rock climbing

When I think about SE Asia I tend to think more about the Theravada school of Buddhism do you think Vietnams closer connection with china is why it has more Confucian and Taoist influence

#DrSethBuddhClass it’s especially cool when you think that it would never have happened without the mongols

I think that religion is often an excuse not the reason for violence #DrSethBuddhClass

I don’t think that Buddhists believe in the soul as we think of it there is no self therefore no continuation of existence in your current form #DrSethBuddhClass

It seems like in order to become a Buddhist monk you need to renounce everything you care about

#DrSethBuddhClass I think this is just a way to get people to listen

#DrSethBuddhClass It’s really cool how people connect natural land marks to religion I know that in the americas there are many sites that make a natural landmark connected to religion

I think it’s that there are people that believe in the Buddha Dharma but just like Christianity they do not make it a major part of their lives
