Falling ‘behind’

As Buddhists, we believe that Right Speech takes priority over Free Speech. Put simply, Right Speech means abstaining from gossip and talk which is false, malicious, or harsh. Write only what you believe to be true and relevant, voicing your opinion with kindness and patience. Avoid worldly, partisan, or discriminatory topics and remarks that are patriarchal, misogynist, sexist, racist, anti-semitic, pro-nazi, bio essentialist, xenophobic, transphobic, homophobic or any other kind of hateful views even if such advocacy is couched in terms of ‘discussing the texts’ or ‘maintaining tradition’.

By participating in the forum, you agree to adhere to these guidelines and help maintain the forum as a supportive and enriching place for Dharma discourse. Moderators will be free to delete offensive content without having defend their choices.

If you have a question, need any sort of help, or want to inform us about offensive content or behavior, please contact us at info@thebuddhaproject.org.

      Hi Zara, if it was me, I would join the weekly zoom meeting and read the transcripts of the earlier sessions. And sure, also watch them when you can.
      Venerable Gendun emphasizes that we should enjoy our meditation, to have fun.

      Thanks Manita for your kind response.
      Yes, I think by applying concepts like falling behind/ catching up and turning it into a to-do, I’m stealing the fun out of it!
