'As a flame overthrown by the force of the wind
goes to an end
that cannot be classified [as essence, annihilation, etc],
so the sage freed from the name-body [ie, all mentation]
goes to an end
that cannot be classified' (Sn 5.6, Ṭhānissaro's trans).

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Vasubandhu (fl. 4th–5th century CE)
When one understands how things are,
Perfect knowledge, abandonment,
And accomplishment—
These three characteristics are simultaneously achieved. — Vasubandhu (fl. 4th–5th century CE)

"Unity temporarily closes offices amid death threats following contentious pricing changes"
The enshittification continues unabated. I'm glad I never used the Unity engine.
"Lol! You're a scholar of religion. What would you do with Unity?"
I'm also a computer engineer.
"Okay, so what did you do?"
I used Blender to model the dharmas of Abhidharma philosophy.
"Wut?"
Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
