My friend Chad and I visited it years ago, and he claimed to have seen a terrifying creature with yellow eyes, black fur, a single leg, and goat-like features. Although I remained skeptical, the experience left a lasting impression on me. Years later, I returned to the graveyard with my boyfriend, who was a self-proclaimed non-believer. We explored the dilapidated graves and found a large black widow spider, adding to the eerie atmosphere. Chad's story and our experience at the graveyard sparked my curiosity about the existence of ghosts and spirits. The strange events we encountered have stayed with me, leaving me wondering if there is more to the world than what we can see.

Exploration can lead to both exciting discoveries and unsettling experiences. The speaker, a former goth teenager from the UK, recounts an adventure with friends to a mysterious place that held a strange allure for him. They ventured past the familiar pub and into the thick fog, where they heard strange footsteps and encountered unexplained occurrences near an old church. Despite their initial bravery and curiosity, they were left feeling uneasy and uncertain about what they had encountered. This experience serves as a reminder that the unknown can be both intriguing and frightening, and that sometimes it's better to appreciate the known comforts of home. Additionally, the passage highlights the importance of friendship and the shared experiences that can bring people together, even when they come from different backgrounds.
The Lasting Impact of Unexplained Phenomena: Encountering an unexplained phenomenon can leave a lasting impression, shaping our beliefs and experiences long after the event has passed.
The experience of encountering an unexplained phenomenon can leave a lasting impact on an individual, even if the event itself seems to disappear. The story of the "Werewolf of Macomb, Oklahoma" illustrates this idea. The protagonist, who was 14 years old and had lived on his 180-acre farm his entire life, went out to fish at the pond one foggy night. He heard strange noises in the woods and saw what he believed to be a wolf, but when he drew his gun, the figure disappeared. Despite the lack of concrete evidence, the experience left the protagonist feeling as though he was being watched and that the place held some sort of supernatural power over him. The strange occurrences continued, and the protagonist and his friends kept returning to the church, feeling drawn to it despite their fear. The event left a deep impression on the protagonist, and he still feels its pull to this day whenever he drives past the road leading up to the church. This experience highlights the power of the unknown and the impact that unexplained phenomena can have on our lives.

The woods may be beautiful and serene, but they also harbor mysteries and potential dangers that should not be underestimated.

The Discourse to the Kalamas
Dhivan offers this short discourse showing the Buddha addressing a group of people called the Kalamas, who have heard all too many religious teachers telling them what to think, even when it contradicts what the last teacher said. The Buddha instead advises them how to judge for themselves about religion. He also teaches them how to practice the brahma-vihara meditations, and to think for themselves how effective they are.
Talk given at Bristol Buddhist Centre as part of a series of four talks entitled Discourses from the Pali Canon, 2017.

28. The Real Social Dilemma Is Our Friendships
This is always a hot topic, so I’m sharing my thoughts on social media in this episode. While many in our friends and family circles are making changes, stepping back, or taking a break (all of which are fine decisions), let’s talk about the option that no one else talks about. How to stay and keep your sanity.
Yes, it’s possible to coexist with social media and all of the content on these platforms. It is possible if you know how to manage your own thoughts about what you are seeing.
You have more power and control than you realize when you know how to leverage your human brain. Simply keep in mind that you never know the intentions behind a post any more than you know the truth behind the things that people tell you to your face. Even those that you love the most. Check this one out if you’re on the feeling a social dilemma today.
