Mi'sen

Will Shastri Ethan Nichtern be there as well? I'd like to book my flight this evening.

Are you guys being serious?

I’m being serious - I respect Mr.Horn, who is an excellent Dharma teacher to the best of my knowledge. I am also serious that Lancashire is a dump. I can’t speak for Chagmé

Hm, don't know much about Horn as a person, I know we don't align on politics, and I can't really connect to the teachings I've watched, also some of his material is downright troubling (teaching drugs as Buddhism...) Nichtern's politics are even more unpleasant. Folk seems cool.

‘Teaching drugs as Buddhism’ is a fairly disingenuous summary of Mr.Horn’s discussions of the topic, and portrays a naïveté as to the historical use of psychedelics in various Buddhist traditions. But that said, you clearly have a right to your own opinion.

I don't think it is. It's pretty simple to me: Advocating for drugs as Buddhism (or as anything else) on the internet today is irresponsible and dangerous. He can gesture to history and rationalize it and that's fine, but there's no way to know who's reading these 'teachings'...
