    Many years ago, I attended a three month silent vipassana retreat.  (No, that´s not the weird part.)

     

    Lovely story. 🙂 Just curious if you don't mind answering, was this at IMS Forest Refuge? I've done several 9-day retreats at the main retreat center there. Slowly working up the nerve for a 3-month. Would probably do a 42-day first.

    I cry a lot - movies, thoughts about my kids, the state of our compassion and community in my country, animals being hurt or dead on the road, whatever. It’s not a depressing cry, it’s a releasing and a realization of the inseparability of joy and sorrow.

     

    Same! 💯 ❤️

    In Street Fighter 2 I always pick Blanka and camp on one end of the screen, generating electricity. I have no use for any other moves. This shows the power of the DanTian too. After a while of crouching animal Zhan Zhuang I can zap any guy that comes at me.

    I hate to admit this, but I’m that asshole that always picks Chun-Li and does that obnoxious lightning kick thing after cornering my opponent. 🤭

    I love so-called internal martial arts like baguazhang and taijiquan and MMA style arts like Muay Thai, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Judo and boxing.

     

    I find the oft-antagonistic divide between these two "camps" unnecessary and I hope to see more cross-pollination between them in my lifetime.

     

    I also wish this wasn't weird, but it seems unfortunately so for some reason? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
