Zencast: Basic Buddhism Podcast

Zencast [Zencast 33 - Basic Buddhism 1]

The very swell Zencast podcast series' latest entry is on Basic Buddhism. Just listening to it right now, but so far it seems like a good introduction.

What I find...most people in southern California don't suffer enough, so [the Buddha] also taught how to be happy...What I find, if I'm speaking to people under 40, I talk about how to be happy, and if I speak to people over 40, I talk about how not to suffer. But it's the same message.

Bonus points awarded for name-checking the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
