@corlin it is an incredibly powerful and transformative practice. More people should do it.
Theravada Buddhists dress the deceased in white and lay the body out for a vigil, during which monks are invited to chant and offer blessings. The dead personโs hand lies extended, and visitors pour a cup of water over the hand into a bowl of water in which blossoms floatโ asking forgiveness for any transgressions against the person during her life.
In the monastery, when an elder monk or nun dies, the vigil can last a week. And all are instructed to Meditate on Death.
Thanks for sharing this.

I made a blog post about my new stamp and how it came to be.
@redenigma yep! It will be getting paint thinner on it whenever I clean the stamp so I want to protect the wood.
@redenigma oh no, sorry I was kind of unclear. Doing poly on the wood block that this rubber speedball block will be glued to. This will be a stamp, and I am putting polyurethane on the wooden parts.
@stueytheround @MrGoat thank you so much! Excited to take this out for a spin when it is all assembled. Think Iโm going to leave a bunch of these laying around.
@BipolarArtist Dude that's excellent! @MrGoat
@MrGoat thanks!
@BipolarArtist bad ass!
@ACG2 yoga is amazing, isnโt it? Good job getting your body moving!
Stamp is carved! Love how this came out. I will explain the meaning/significance in a blog post at some point in the future. Currently putting polyurethane on the block and then I will assemble! #art #meditation
@MrGoat here it is!

Seven years ago I came to the conclusion that Social Media is NOT helping discourse. That's why I called this site 'COUNTER Social'.
I decided to at least TRY to fight fire with fire.
