When you get angry at an angry person you just make things worse for yourself. When you don’t get angry at an angry person you win a battle hard to win. When you know that the other is angry, you act for the good of both yourself and the other if you’re mindful and stay calm. - Subhāsita-jaya Sutta

I will be giving a talk at the @shindigfestival.bsky.social on Saturday the 23rd of May around my book #Thai #Tattoo #Magick which is published on Inner Traditions. Do come and join me. It's a fabulous festival 🙏🔥🙏
My hour talk at Watkins Books was filmed and is currently being edited for their YouTube channel which will be uploaded in about a month or so.
Rest in peace Peter J Carroll (1953-2026). I first acquired Liber Null & Psychonaut in the 1990s in Camden. It opened my mind up to the possibilities of chaos #magick. It's an excellent work. His impact upon magick is incalculable. He passed unexpectedly in the early hours from an aortic aneurism ✴
“I definitely highly recommend Sheer's book. It's a personal, autobiographical, and touching book about growth and transformation” - Miguel Connor, author of The Occult Elvis: The Mystical and Magical Life of the King books.innertraditions.com/thai-tattoo-... #Spiritually #Buddhism #Magick #Tattoos
Nothing in the world is softer or weaker than water, Yet nothing is better at overcoming the hard and strong. - Tao Te Ching
Today is #MāghaPūjā. It is a Buddhist festival celebrated on the full moon day of the third lunar month. It commemorates the gathering of 1,250 of the Buddha's first disciples who came together spontaneously to hear his teachings, marking an important moment in Buddhist history. I wish you well 🙏🪷🙏

Whatever forms of meditation you practice, the most important point is to apply mindfulness continuously, and make a sustained effort. It is unrealistic to expect results from meditation within a short period of time. What is required is continuous sustained effort - Dalai Lama #WalkForPeace
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 🙏🪷🙏
