Von der Ur-Zeit in die Neu-Zeit im Zeitraffer. Richtig gut geschrieben u. recherchiert. Interessant zu lesen, hat mir sehr gefallen, Daumen hoch!

Eine sehr interessante und ungewöhnliche Idee für eine Geschichte und gut geschrieben finde ich sie auch. Inhaltlich ist sie nicht so ganz meins, da möchte ich lieber ehrlich sein; ich hoffe, das ist okay für dich.

Eine schöne Mischung aus Wissenschaft, Geschichte und Mystik. Spannend geschrieben! :)
Liebe Grüße

Sehr interessant und klasse geschrieben!

""This modern form of Buddhism is distinguished by a novel emphasis on
meditation [...]""

I agree with much of what you've said about the religion, especially the form
that's been tailored over the last century or so to the West's
predispositions. The modern Western appropriation (read: redefining) of the
word ""mindfulness"" (sati, in Pali) is especially unhelpful to those who have
taken up the Buddhist, or even the Buddhist Lite, practice.

But I have to take issue with your calling any Buddhist emphasis on meditation
""novel."" Seven factors of the Nobel Eightfold Path-- right view, right
resolve (/intention/thought), right action, right speech, right livelihood,
right effort and right mindfulness-- are all supporting pillars of right
concentration, which is achieved through meditation. This Nobel Eightfold Path
was a foundational teaching of the Buddha, and an absolutely necessary one for
all his students, for the elimination of suffering.

Oh dear, what is Fox News supposed to do when the top news of the day is
either the expulsion of Russian diplomats (anti-Russian so anti-Trump), the
apparent Democratic victory in Pennsylvania (clearly anti-Trump), or the death
of Stephen Hawking (a little too over the head, I guess, for Fox News
habituates, even though this morning Fox gave it a try by giving it the lead)?
Why use as lead the one-hundredth year anniversary of a missing transport ship
and call it a ""mystery"". Fox has given new reason to laugh at their
appending ""News"" to the name of their site.
