Oh they changed their story.

"'John Mastodon,' who is not a person as far as we know."

There is still hope, friends.

International poll, so please boost for a wider sample.

How many languages can you read (and, of course, understand!) without the help of an online translator?

I'm new to Mastodon, but a lot of my former Twitter followers don't know I'm here yet. Someone suggested I could simply ask you fine people to boost me. Would you be so kind? Here’s a small token of my appreciation: :balloon_smile: #welcometomastodon #TwitterMigration

🧵 If you're beginning your journey into #buddhism, here's a thread with some of the things I'd love to warn my former self about.

1/5 - True Buddhism is an illusion.

Many schools claim to be representing “Original Buddhism” or “True Buddhism”. This is an illusion. All forms of Buddhism are cultural, and traditions are (like all phenomenon) rooted in #impermanence and #interdependency.

OK, now the most crucial question: do we have any #buddhists in here?

I am practicing (poorly) #zenbuddhism and would like to connect with like-minded individuals, but also discuss different aspects of #buddhism with others—also, #meditation.

Please be advised that I'm not a #newage type of dude, so crystals, vibrations, and that type of stuff - have great fun and fortune with it, but it's not for me. After all, #science leads the way.

So, write back!

The mind is always practicing. Not just when we practice meditation, but always. When we are not mindful, it is practicing dukkha.

Finally writing an #introduction . :pen: I am Di (she/her). I enjoy reading and writing #poetry and #CreativeNonfiction, and I love making #zines.

In my life I practice being as compassionate as possible. I like #mindfulness and #Buddhism (#ZenBuddhism). I love squirrels, birds, nature, all that jazz. I like jazz too

I don't like or use corporate social media. Mastodon seems pretty neat so far. It would be awesome to make more #zine connections

Hi y'all! So I'm a little late to this hashtag being trending, but I wanted to make an #introduction for my Mastodon account.

My name is John, known on the internet as Grasshopper Man. I'm a practitioner of North American #Indigenous spirituality, and my tentative spiritual name is John Yellow Spider. I'm of #Quapaw and Miami #tribal descent.

I also practice #ZenBuddhism, and have been for almost 2 years now. I hope to receive #Jukai soon and receive a Dharma name as well.

Nice to meet y'all!

I'm just discovering Thich Nhat Hanh. I heard about him when he died earlier this year, but that's about all. I don't know why I didn't know more about him until now, but this short documentary is beautiful:

Alright, so here's my #reintroduction:

My name is John. I identify as a #Cherokee and Miami #AmericanIndian who also practices #ZenBuddhism. I'm currently working to enroll in the #CherokeeNation.

I write #poetry and occasionally do #SketchArt and #drawing. I may post some of my poems here as well as any drawings I may make. #ArtistsOnMostodon

I'm a member of #NarcoticsAnonymous and would love to reconnect with my #recoveryposse again after my last account got mysteriously deleted.

GTMYA!

Hey folks, help me find Buddhists on Mastodon. Who should I be following?
