CTP (S3EJulSpecial3) Buddhism as Philosophy, Not Religion
Exploring more of the world of fascinating Guests, Health, Human Nature, Music / Movies, Mysterious, Politics, Social Issues, and much more
G. Scott Graham joins us to explore how Buddhist philosophy and its ethical precepts can complement rather than contradict Christian values, breaking down misconceptions about Buddhism as strictly religious. We discuss how the Eight Precepts offer a framework for mindful living that can benefit people of all faiths, focusing on mental volition rather than rigid rules.
• Buddhism functions more as a philosophy than a religion in many contexts
• You can be a "Christian Buddhist" by adopting philosophical principles without religious worship
• Scott shares his journey working in corrections and discovering Buddhist meditation
• The Eight Precepts include abstaining from killing, stealing, lying, and intoxicants
• Mental volition and intent matter more than the action itself
• Buddhist ethics focus on reducing agitation and finding personal balance
• Practicing these principles can help address underlying insecurities
• Gray areas exist in all ethical frameworks, requiring personal discernment
• Buddhist practice encourages trying principles to see if they benefit you
• Understanding Buddhist philosophy doesn't make someone "less Christian"

OK, since they all CHIMED IN on the #RoseGarden changes last night on #GUTFELD! may as well chime in also....
1) that it was NOT PAID FOR using #Tax dollars! BIG THUMBS UP
2) that the Grass was completely replaced - BAD IDEA
3) agree with last nights panel WHY DO WE SEE NO ROSES?!?!?
Now, as for item 2.
in this day and age of Tech there was a far better solution.
Are you aware that in AZ where the Cardinals play THAT ENTIRE FOOTBALL FIELD moves in and out of the Stadium?
And, of course, retractable Roofs have been a thing for decades.
Many "rooms" have "retractable" (on skids) WALLS.
The SAME PRINCIPLE could have, SHOULD HAVE, been applied here.
LEAVE the Grass as a Garden area MOST TIME but indeed when the area needed for an event the area "too wet" and "too muddy" to be practical which then an simple LAY OUT RAILS and then EXTEND A FOLDABLE FLOOR OUT for use as needed and then RETRACTED back to Grass when NOT NEEDED for a more "stable" and "sturdy" ground to hold an Event on.

LMFAO, just came from an #Eatery where a #CommieFasciSocies-ocrat idiot with of course ZERO CLUE OF #HISTORY and of the Left/#demoKKKrats creation of the #Eugenics movement adopted by the #NAZIs from the #demoKKKrats still going on with the #SydneySweeneyHasGreatJeans narrative.
She, of course, IGNORANT to the #Dunkin Ad and the #Hispanic guy talking about HIS #GENETICS! Nor that #FATZO, err... #LIZZO, #GENES being #BLACK. No, nothing to do with your #SkinTone but that your #GENES are BAD and you're #UNHEALTHY and #OBESE and NOT a #RoleModel to/for anyone. Now if #VanessaWilliams (#Black #Woman) were to do the #AmericanEagle Ad just as #SydneySweeney did NO PROBLEM EITHER cuz she is now in her 60's and still VERY #HEALTHY and VERY GORGEOUS and IS a positive #RoleModel to/for people.
But #LEFTARDS cannot have an #HONEST CONVERSATION ABOUT ANY OF THAT - all they got is their BULLSHIT NARRATIVE that ignores actual/REAL #DNA Science and have to allege their (AGAIN, THEY CREATED) discredited ...
