Re: The Disapearance of Pennsylvania Dutch in America
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...

Re: The Disapearance of Pennsylvania Dutch in America
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...

Re: The Disapearance of Pennsylvania Dutch in America
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 ...

Re: Anātman, the Buddhist Doctrine of No-Self
Even if it were possible for me to become enlightened and fully understand the doctrine of no-self, I would still suffer the effects of negative thoughts and emotions. Poison is poison. It affects the whole system. You take the analogy too far, and lose sight that its just an analogy intended to ad...

Who are some active Dzogchen teachers taking students in 2023? I have been doing some research and notice a lot of names come up but sadly some of these seem difficult to get regular Dzogchen teachings from. Others are questionable so maybe those on here have lists of those who are teaching directl...
