If you are following the #WalkForPeace I now post solely on my Threads account in regard to this subject. This has occurred not through choice but necessity as numerous posts went viral. I still love @bsky.app very much but now devote myself to the ongoing social tsunami 🙏 www.threads.com/@sheer_zed

While the #Buddhist monks were busy waking up, having breakfast, and getting ready for the day, Aloka had his own peaceful morning. He stayed tucked up in his blanket, his favorite way to start the day before walking with the venerable monks. May all beings be well, happy and at peace #WalkForPeace

Tudong (from Thai Thudong derived from Pāli Dhutaṅga) refers to austere practices undertaken by Buddhist monks who travel on foot. Dhutaṅga translates as ‘means of shaking off’ Dhammayatra (pilgrimage of Dhamma) is a peaceful walking practice rooted in this tradition #WalkForPeace #Buddhism #walking

#HappyNewYear. Day 68 of #WalkForPeace 1/1/2026. The #Buddhist monks warmly invite all to an offering ceremony today at Wat Lao Buddha Khanti, 4052 Zoar Church Rd SW, Snellville, GA 30039. Time: Starts 9:00 AM (Visiting Hours: 9:00 AM – 2:30 PM). May all beings be well, happy, mindful and at peace 🙏

It's been a good year for me. I'm alive, healthy and I'm calm. I'm thankful to continue to practice as a Buddhist, have a roof over my head, food on the table & to have had my book Thai Tattoo #Magick published. I wish everyone a #HappyNewYear. May you find peace, health & happiness in your lives 🙏🪷

The Wat Lao Buddha Khanti of Atlanta have just posted guidelines for Buddhist Etiquette regarding interacting with Buddhist monks on the #WalkForPeace. These guidelines are not sexist or discriminatory. Theravāda Buddhism has certain requirements which focus on mindfulness & one's personal conduct 🙏

The Loud and The Silence is probably one of the most beautiful things I've read during this important and historic #WalkForPeace 🙏🪷🙏

#WalkForPeace Bring flowers. Bring thousands and thousands of flowers 🙏🪷🙏

The #WalkForPeace is not about God. The walk for peace is not about politics. #Buddhism is non-theistic and non-political. To quote their Facebook page this walk is "...to raise awareness of #peace, loving #kindness and #compassion across America and the world." 🙏 dhammacetiya.com/walk-for-pea...

Update from the #WalkForPeace To Atlanta Area - Fayetteville & Morrow, GA. Tomorrow we continue our journey through Georgia, heading from Sharpsburg through Peachtree City to Fayetteville & Morrow in the Atlanta area. We're grateful for the support & warm welcome we receive along the way 🙏 #Buddhism

This is the back of an amulet devoted to Phra Ngang by Ajarn Perm Rung which has the bones from suicide victims. In Thai #necromantic #magick this helps to create enough spiritual charge and raw energy to power the #amulet. I wish you all a #happyhalloween🎃 books.innertraditions.com/thai-tattoo-...

Dave Ball has left us a large treasure trove of beautiful and gorgeous sound diamonds. I played the sublime enchantment of Soft Cell's 1982 visionary single Torch so much it metamorphosized into a spinning plastic blob on my turntable. The b-side Insecure Me explodes like the sun. Sleep well Dave.

#Blog The quiet and enduring power of the Phra Khong #amulet by the great #buddhist master Phra Ajarn Amon, the abbot of Wat Phra Khong Ruesi, is the one that I often like to lean into when things get tough.

On a wet and drab Monday morning it is most heartening to see Blinky the Beswick #owl enjoy and relish in his copy of the delightfully owl-ficial #zine Field Guide to Owls by the talon-ted artists @gasmantell.bsky.social & @skot.bsky.social. Thank you 🦉

I spoke at length with the wonderful practitioner Brian James on his excellent #podcast Howl in the Wilderness. It was a sincere pleasure speaking with him. Do join us for a fascinating discussion 🙏 youtu.be/0WODVfOFyJo?... #podcast #shamanism #buddhism #magick #thailand #sakyant

#Buddhism & #Animism merge in Asian philosophy and become interwoven into a unique complex #spiritual landscape highlighting the interconnectedness of all living things and presence of #spirits in nature. This is discussed in my #NewBook Thai Tattoo Magick. books.innertraditions.com/thai-tattoo-...

This is a beautiful documentary about a novice #Buddhist monk caring for his 98 year old master. It is moving and worthy of praise 🙏

This charming Lersi #amulet is made by Ajarn Suthep. It has strong protective powers. I had the privilege of meeting Ajarn Suthep during my fourth pilgrimage which is fully documented in my new book Thai Tattoo Magick out now. books.innertraditions.com/thai-tattoo-... #Buddhism #Lersi #NewBook

These #rosehips drapped themselves over the wall to say hello while I wandered. Often associated with the magick of love, protection, & healing, they're believed to bring good luck, ward off nightmares when placed under pillows and used in various magickal practices due to their connection to Venus.

“They shut us down for about 2 hours between both shifts and then started the building back up. Left her in the trailer with the door open.” Dear grief. #UPS left a dead mother for hours like a bag of mail. Her five children are now motherless. Be kind & help them ☞ www.gofundme.com/f/in-memory-...

I tried for a very long time to acquire one of JD Twitch's legendary mixtapes. Then, one day, the clouds parted. Sketches For Winter is a beautiful compilation like its maker.
