@blogdiva

Trying not to wake my wife by shaking the bed

@maia

@maia

Been there, done that.

@maia guy who misheard buddhism as bdsm, practiced it without caring for his own safety and ended up in nevada after dying
@maia wasn’t this what twin peaks the return was about
@maia Or maybe he did it right and it was just karma.

@lydiaconwell @maia

Or maybe it was karma being paid off.

@maia
question - and how shitty person as a Buddhist or Hindu one has to be to be reborn as a rat, but the one that they test drugs on?

@DMTomas @maia

Trump, Gaetz, Johnson level.

@kevinrns @maia oh, I thought that must get you to a factory-farm born chicken level ;)

@DMTomas @maia

There are I think more species of beetle than there are people. So rebirth has lots of choices. There is a worm that only lives in the anus of Rhinos.

@kevinrns Thank you Fediverse for coming through with sharing deep arcana that we wouldn't have thought to ask but now can't get out of our minds. 😉
@kevinrns @maia but most of them hopefully have a more pleasant than not experience - factory-farm born chickens though… I thought the point of karma was to guide towards more enlightened experience in the next or the one after next life, spending it as a beetle would be - statistically more probable - agree, but, I would say, against the “vibes” of karma;)

@DMTomas @maia

Buddhist thought on karma and rebirth includes losing the gift of human form.

Karma's a bitch.

Its a gift because you can escape from suffering in human form. Buddhism is hard

Being human is a big powerful opportunity to understand kindness, Buddhists say.

@DMTomas @maia

Depends on the drugs

@ipd @maia I mean the good ones;)
@DMTomas @maia
Good rats or good drugs?
@ipd @maia the question “were I a good rat” comes with good drugs, I would say;)
@DMTomas @maia depemds – what kind of drugs?
@maysonic @maia the good ones;) or at least the ones they need to apologise for euphoria, being a side effect =)
@maia or a Nirvana concert?
@maia be careful what you wish for; be VERY careful!
@maia
He would get arrested by ICE for not being a pedo loving christian
@maia "I knew I should've taken that left turn at Amoghasiddhi!"
@maia Spelling is important when dealing with afterlives.

@BackFromTheDud @maia

I stopped casting spells yonks ago, my spell cheker broke.

@maia @goinfawr Wrong? He’s out of the cycle of rebirth — anything that happens in Vegas *stays* in Vegas.

@michaelgemar @maia @goinfawr

The last samsara of ... oh christ

@maia so THAT'S how you get control of the Lone Wanderer in the Fallout series! It all makes sense now! 😛
@maia the dyslexic bhuddist.
A fate worse than death indeed…
@maia Person who, due to a spelling error tries to escape samara by running away from every tree that produces winged seeds
@maia Oops, Only Desire!
@maia
guy who does buddhism slightly wrong and is reborn as Dave Grohl
@maia
Does he meet buddha there and then declares, "Killed it!"
@maia That or he ends up in a Nirvana cover band.
@maia Samsara is a bitch.

@maia

I thought I had made an errant turn at Albuquerque.

This makes more sense.
