Yes, as you know he is against all religious minorities, and Buddhism is one of them
Should some suggested books or resources be added for a general introduction? Starting directly with sutras isn't really helpful in my opinion.
Petition in support of Mahabodhi Temple
Bodh Gaya: Hundreds of Buddhist monks and members of the OBC, SC, and ST communities have been staging an indefinite hunger strike for the past four days in front of the office of the Mahabodhi Mahavihar Temple Management Committee. Their demand is clear: the complete transfer of Mahabodhi Mahavihar to Buddhist monks and the removal of the Brahmin priest who currently holds a key position in the temple’s management.

All you forget that with prime you don’t pay the shipping cost, that’s the biggest convenience in my opinion
Not only that, but the super fast shipping included in Prime subscription, make it even harder cancel it
Nagarjuna on Emptiness
“There is not a single thing That does not arise interdependently. Therefore there is not a single thing That is not emptiness.
Everything that arises interdependently Is unceasing and unborn, Neither non-existent nor everlasting, Neither coming nor going, Neither multiple nor single, To this teaching that pacifies all complexity, The most sacred speech of the perfect Buddha, I pay homage!”
Root Verses of the Middle Way, XXIV, 19

I bet you wouldn’t be happy if something you made and that you’re trying to sell get copied and shared completely for free. Many people would use that without giving you a penny. It is not stealing in a stricter sense, but it would hurt your finances for sure.
Is starting massively pirating things the right thing to do?
I’ve begun discontinuing many US services in favor of EU ones. However, I’ve noticed that some individuals, instead of simply ceasing to use American products, resorted to illegally downloading everything. While it’s true that the money goes to the US when you pay, it can’t justify disrespecting others’ hard work and effort while still consuming or using their products, and it is also illegal. This is especially true considering that they likely don’t have any direct connection to MAGA. This applies to actors, directors, YouTubers, and many others. We should simply cease using their products without giving them any further consideration.

Edit: adding to the last line, we should give instead more attention to locally and European made creations and products
I solved the problem. The issue arises when you enter your email and password in the login tab. The app attempts to find a username that matches the email precisely, which leads to an error. However, when I log in using my username instead, everything worked flawlessly.
Guess which one is the only country that didn’t state support. Why did you think of Italy? (I’m Italian)

I’m a dual practitioner of Zen and Pure Land Buddhism, and I practice both zazen and nembutsu separately. In my city, there’s a small Soto Zen temple, so I visit it a couple of times a week for my practice sessions. However, I also practice by myself twice a day, and I always make an effort to be mindful of Amitabha Buddha.
Great Compassion in Avatamsaka Sutra
“Great [Bodhisattvas develop] great compassion by ten kinds of observations of sentient beings: they see sentient beings have nothing to rely on for support; they see sentient beings are unruly; they see sentient beings lack virtues; they see sentient beings are asleep in ignorance; they see sentient beings do bad things; they see sentient beings are bound by desires; they see sentient beings drowning in the sea of Birth and Death; they see sentient beings chronically suffer from illness; they see sentient beings have no desire for goodness; they see sentient beings have lost the way to enlightenment. [Bodhisattvas] always observe sentient beings with these awarenesses.”
南無阿弥陀仏🙏🏼
And it is in the US, wow!
Italian here, I feel ashamed of our PM. It is even more ridiculous how she endorsed the relationship with US just a couple of weeks ago and then Trump started doing even more shitty things.
