Better ways of thinking, feeling, and acting—around problems of meaning and meaninglessness; self and society; ethics, purpose, and value.

Weird implication here that modern Buddhist practitioners read sutras; whereas in fact, if they read any old texts at all, it’s the same five excerpts in translation that everyone else reads.
All you need to read is the Kalama Sutta. The Buddha said: “You must find your own Truth, deeply within yourself. Don’t read suttas, they are just concepts. The Way of Buddhism is to honor your feelings. Also, you should call out people who use plastic straws.”
"Uh, hi Twitter, yes, uh..I'd like to report a murder."
Not sure whether you’re referring to just one more murder of the sutras, or the preservation of the original and authentic words of the Buddha death cult turning up on our doorstep :-)
If you meet the Buddha on the road, explain to him the true meaning of Buddhism.https://vividness.live/2015/10/02/ftfy-buddhist-ethics/ …
