A place for spiritual discussion of all kinds. All faiths and beliefs welcome.

This is a space for exploration, not proselytizing. Share your truth, but leave room for others to discover theirs. Rational discourse and lived experience is welcome; dogma and demands are not.

RULES

  1. No dogma. Whatever system you want to follow is yours to follow as you feel best but don't try to impose it on others, or otherwise shame others for not doing things your way. Discussing the tenets of your system is fine but know the difference between "this works for me", "this is the only correct way" and "this is what the teachings say".

  2. No bigotry, hate, racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia etc. 0 tolerance policy.

  3. No AI slop, or spam. No paywalled content. Limited self-promotion is fine but it shouldn't be your sole reason of posting here. Active posters engaging positively get more leniency.

  4. No soliciting or offering services of any kind.

Always found the compassion and empathy discussion interesting. Paul Bloom I think makes a good case for adjusting our knee jerk reaction to empathy as inarguably virtuous. Empathy is good in small doses but letting oneself be manipulated or drained because of it is counterproductive. Nice to see a Buddhist teacher talk about it too.
