Well said RevDaniel 🙏🙏🙏

Try to say something nice to or about someone every day for a month. It makes us more aware of what we say & why. It encourages us to change our perspective so that we notice others’ good qualities. Doing so also improves our relationships tremendously.  thubtenchodron.org/books/transfor…

You yourselves should make the effort; the Tathagatas (Buddhas) only can show the way. Those who practise the Tranquillity and Insight Meditation are freed from the bond of Mara.

First world problems and all but by goodness the wifi on East Midlands Railway (EMR) and Vodafone UK network between London and Sheffield is absolutely atrocious. No wonder people don’t commute on trains. Not to mention the price that is charged.

Speak only endearing speech, speech that is welcomed. Speech when it brings no evil to others is pleasant.

I make sure to tell anyone I meet to avoid #sharedownership as my experience has been nothing but stress and financial disaster. I honestly think it’s a scam, the next PPI. Glad I’m only just out of the nightmare this month.

We've found that shared ownership schemes are failing to deliver an affordable route to homeownership.

We're calling on the Government to take urgent and significant action to reform how shared ownership works.

Service charge strikes are a symptom of a broken market. If freeholders and building-landlords weren’t rent-seekers, people wouldn’t do it.

Let leaseholders take control of their service providers and service charges!

Patrick bought his shared ownership flat with his partner in 2017:

'The worst thing about it is that we have no options and they’re also not willing to help us in any way. (...) We can’t sell our flat and we can’t afford to live in it.”

cardigan Michael Gove Matthew Pennycook MP Housing associations can and absolutely should buy back these 'affordable' homes.

In a housing crisis, switching the tenure to social rent or London Living rent is a no-brainer.

It's immoral to leave flats empty while condemning key workers to hardship because they had to move.

This is Wongpo Tok
Today, it faces the destruction of its monasteries and environment n the persecution of its ppl.
But it is more than a site of oppression.
Wongpo Tok has been home to generations of brave Tibetans along the Drichu River in Kham Dege.

Today, 3/3/24 is the 40th anniversary of Lama's passing in 3/3/84. youtube.com/playlist?list=…

If you wanted to *affordably* rent a one bedroom flat in London (i.e. housing costs don't take up more than 30% of income), you'd have to earn over £75,000 a year (this graph shows USD).

That's nuts, and yet we've normalised it.
