    A new year.

    At Santi Monastery we had our "Jhanathon" on new years eve, that is, an all night sit. I personally thought of it as more of a "Māra-thon". One thing we did, was write down on a piece of paper...

    Why the eight garudhammas cannot be taken seriously

    I believe there is a great deal of evidence for the inauthenticity of the eight garudhammas and Maha Pajapati story, and here I want to cover some of the most decisive arguments. Firstly I think...

    The passage in the suttas most damning to the Eight Garudhammas

    One of the things about the notorious eight garudhammas for the bhikkhunis, is that the whole story is almost never printed, if you're familiar with Bhante Sujato's work you'll already know this, for...

    The problem is me.

    Realized, again, that when everything seems to be going "wrong"...it's because I'm wrong. My ways of thinking, doing, and therefore, being. So everything is wrong? Nice thing is that it's so darned...

    One of our members recently wrote: "I am terrified of big hairy spiders ... I could never get close enough to a large spider to catch it and put it outside myself and would be extremely uneasy if I did not know where it was while I was in the House. I know it's pathetic, but I can't help it and would love any brilliant suggestions as to how I can get rid of this fear."
