Skillful Thinking In A Crisis

[cavelight]

TV is drenched in the western mindset - the unskillful thinking of revenge, blame, hatred, arrogance and ignorance. Very few people on here are aware of their self - that inflated balloon that feels so important but in reality is just hot air. So many hysterical rants and personal attacks are jostling for space in every thread, so many pumped-up selfs... it demonstrates perfectly the problems with western culture, and the benefits of Buddhist thought and self-knowledge.

Do yourself a favour and go over to YouTube, where you will find some sensible videos about Buddhist thinking from the venerable Ajahn Brahm.
