I like theming , I am already a Firefox user. I think the sad reality is that for more adoptions , in the order of numbers that chrome puts up , Firefox needs to be a default application ; the common users doesn't want to customize anything ( my hot take ).

I don't think it is important that Firefox gets to those numbers as long as they can generate enough revenue to keep going.

 

New seiko gmt. My first gmt. I mixed it up with a camo band which I am really enjoying so far.

 

I am interested in getting a German watch. I like the idea of having a few different nice watches from all over the world. I've been looking at some of the Form Cs and Chronoscopes from junghans but would love to hear if anyone has recommendations or opinions!?

 

This has been my grail watch for a while now and I had a reason to celebrate recently so picked it up. I am absolutely in love with it so far.

 

New to me watch. Love it so far. Super easy to read and clean.

 

Recently picked this up. Really liking it so far.

 

We are not the Buddha’s close disciples and the implications of this upon reading Buddhist literature. I am not sure how I feel about this article. I am sharing it because it was thought provoking, I hope others find it so as well.

 

I found this read to be very enjoyable & useful. I think that you could probably just read the first point. All the subsequent points seem like variations on the first ( and last ). But, either way a good read.

 

Hi , I want to get this community going!! So I am hoping to spark some constructive discourse over books. Everyone loves them :) I would like to hear what you all are reading.

Here is my active list ( it is pretty Dogen heavy right now ):

  1. The Mountains and Water Sutra: A Practioner's Guide to Dogen's Sansuikyo -- I am not very far into this book yet. I am finding it more accessible than reading some of Dogen's works directly.

  2. Realizing Genjokoan: The Keys to Dogen's Shobogenzo -- I recently read the Shobogenzo. I enjoyed the read but felt like I didn't grok a lot of the subtler / contextual ideas. This book is illuminating. I would suggest reading it first and then the Shobogenzo , if you're inclined.

  3. The Once and Future Witches: Completely unrelated to Buddhism but a fun read :)

Anyways, these are the books I am reading. I am a Soto Zen student , hints the Dogen focus. I would love to hear other Zen book suggestions but I am also very interested in non-Soto Zen books/recommendations :)
