This lama in 1930s Tibet is tweeting way before tweeting became fashionable.
Would you rather spend your time tweeting or practicing dharma on these auspicious days? Remember: everything you do this week is magnified.

Naga observations for the first month: The only day to make Naga offerings this month is the lunar 25th (Dakini Day), and it should be elaborate. Do not make naga offerings on any other day this lunar month.

It depends on what one uses Twitter for. I use it to connect to other Dharma brothers and sisters all across the globe. Much of my time on Twitter is spent talking about Buddhas and their purelands, sharing Mahayana sutras like the Sanghata Sutra and general practice tips, days to practice, Buddhist related stories.
ReplyDeleteLike any technology, its not inherently good or bad, it all depends on the intent of the user. I try to remind people to practice whatever tradition they follow and to remain focused on Enlightenment.
Thank you Tenpa!
