Hi all, I’ve decided to step back from organising the Triratna Bitcoin group. It’s been an interesting experiment, and I’ve enjoyed exploring this intersection with everyone. However, I’ve become less convinced about the need for such a hybrid group at this time. Thank you to everyone who participated and for your input - it’s been a valuable experience! Best wishes, Mike 🙏

Buddhist perspectives on society and culture
Apramada
Apramada
Political systems, ideologies and propaganda are like the water we swim in. The worst situation is to be negatively influenced without realising it, the better situation is to be aware of the toxicity and thus be less affected by it, the best situation however is to seek fresh water.
‘Logical thinking and real life are not two separate orbits. Logic is for man the only means to master the problems of reality. “What is contradictory in theory, is no less contradictory in reality. No ideological inconsistency can provide a satisfactory, i.e., working, solution for the problems offered by the facts of the world. The only effect of contradictory ideologies is to conceal the real problems and thus to prevent people from finding in time an appropriate policy for solving them. Inconsistent ideologies may sometimes postpone the emergence of a manifest conflict. But they certainly aggravate the evils which they mask and render a final solution more difficult. They multiply the agonies, they intensify the hatreds, and make peaceful settlement impossible. It is a serious blunder to consider ideological contradictions harmless or even beneficial.’ - Human Action, Ludwig von Mises.
‘Not by hatred are hatreds ever pacified here (in the world). They are pacified by love. This is the eternal law.’ - Dhammapada, Verse 5. image
