Petition to save a 30 year old legacy plant-based brand in Canada - please sign! - Lemmy.World
Yves Veggie Cuisine was the first major plant-based meat brand in Canada, and
now its parent company, Hain Celestial, has announced they are planning to wind
down production and shutter the label. This would have a devastating effect on
vegan alternative meat access in Canada. Yves is not always the first choice,
but it is by far the most accessible one. If a small town grocery store stocks
just one brand it will be Yves, and there is a very high chance that if they
disappear these products will not be replaced with other options - there just
won’t be plant-based meats stocked in these communities any more.

I’m an Apple user myself, but lately Apple lost everything that used to make it different from competitors (and also lost the AI race).
This was a great video, thanks!
Nice share! Mistral also shared data about one of its largest model (not the one that answer in LeChat, since that one is Medium, a smaller model, that I guess has smaller energetic requirements)

Question: If the mind ceases to be, what will become of its continuity? If there
is continuity of mind, how can you explain its final cessation? Answer: What we
speak of as “cessation” is the cessation of the marks of [the deluded] mind only
and not the cessation of its essence. It is like the case of the wind which,
following the surface of the water, leaves the marks of its movement. If the
water should cease to be, then the marks of the wind would be nullified and the
wind would have no support [on which to display its movement]. But since the
water does not cease to be, the marks of the wind may continue. Because only the
wind ceases, the marks of its movement cease accordingly. This is not the
cessation of water. So it is with ignorance; on the ground of the essence of
Mind there is movement. If the essence of Mind were to cease, then people would
be nullified and they would have no support. But since the essence does not
cease to be, the mind may continue. Because only stupidity ceases to be, the
marks of the [stupidity of the] mind cease accordingly. It is not that the
wisdom (i.e., the essence) of Mind ceases.

“If we actually touch fire, we will certainly be burned, but if we merely say
the word fire without actually touching it, we won’t be burned. Likewise, if we
only think of the word fire, our heads will not be set ablaze. Therefore, the
definition of fire, whose nature is to burn all things, cannot itself be the
reality of it.” Kosho Uchiyama
Pure Land Buddhism is quite different between Mainland and Japan, I think it is always better to go to the source, aka the Pure Land sutras. Saying once in full sincerity is in theory enough, since Amida Vows are already fulfilled since it became a Buddha, so a practitioner’s rebirth “already” happened.
Eikan stopped reciting since he was amazed by the sight of Amida, so Amida told him to keep moving and reciting
見返り阿弥陀 Mikaeri Amida - Lemmy.World
This is my favorite statue of Amida Buddha, and it is unique since Amida is
depicted in the act of looking back, quite strange considering its standard
representation According to the legend behind the statue, in 1082, in Eikandō’s
Amida-dō Hall, in the dim hours before dawn on February the fifteenth, a miracle
occurred. The monk Eikan (1033–1111) was deep in his daily practice of
circumambulating a statue of Amida Buddha while reciting Amida’s name. Eikan
believed that by diligently performing this practice—called the nenbutsu—he
could achieve rebirth in Amida’s western paradise, where enlightenment was
guaranteed. It is recorded that Eikan recited the nenbutsu 60,000 times each
day. As he paced around the statue, Eikan saw something that made him freeze on
the spot: the wooden statue of Amida gracefully descended from its lotus-shaped
dais and began to walk ahead of him, as if leading him toward paradise. As Eikan
gaped in amazement, Amida paused. He looked back over its left shoulder, to
where Eikan stood dumbstruck. “Eikan, stop dawdling,” said Amida. It is believed
that Eikan was so inspired by this vision of Amida urging him forward to the
Pure Land that he begged the statue to remain in the same posture in order to
inspire others. The “Looking-back Amida” (Mikaeri Amida) has been at Eikandō
ever since. 南無阿弥陀仏🙏🏼
