Like everyone else I have my share of frustration, sadness, anger etc. In a way it hangs over my head daily like a spectre ready to rise up. Some days it’s just a vague little feeling at the back of my mind, a litt...

The differences are enough that it would be an unnecessary source of conflict to be in the same sandbox. As a Mahayanist, I don't need to constantly be told I'm not Buddhist. Some of the folk over there are quite intolerant. Alright I would hate to stir up some heated discussion, especially since I...

Settled in Bucks, as well as, Berks county and then went north to Mohawk and Buffalo valleys of New York state. They were forced off of their land and then returned to central/western PA, Clearfield to be exact on the Susquehanna river. That makes sense. The irony is that many Germans from the Rhen...

I had always assumed that "Pennsylvania Dutch" was a popular mispronunciation of "Pennsylvania Deutsch," so-called because the people had moved here originally from Germany, but apparently that isn't correct. Yes, for the history of the term also see this: https://en.wikipedia.o...

I'm a 40 years old tibetan translator. I'm mainly practicing in the Theravada tradition but as a tibetan translator I love to read and study about tibetan buddhism traditions.

Thanks for this, very interesting. My grandparents were of Irish descent, they lived and farmed in southeastern Pennsylvania (Chester County) for many years, there were some Amish nearby. Later I lived in southern Chester County, right on the Lancaster County border, and we had Amish farms all arou...

Very interesting. Thank you for posting. My family are Pennsylvania Germans from the Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis region who came to the colonies in 1701. As far as I know our language was lost with my Great Grandparents on my Father's side of the family. Hi Zerwe, this is really interesting. Do you know ...

…there is a Telemundo series called “Malverde” on Netflix!

It affects the whole system. You take the analogy too far, and lose sight that its just an analogy intended to ad...

Any teachers you like.
