I'm relatively new to the server but I've heard a lot of my friends who previously played the server talking about things they've expierenced including harassment, hazing new players, ragebaiting and just general terminally online behavior. Is this a real issue and if so is they're anyway to stop it? I'd really like to know before I get deep into the server since It's just something I want to do for fun with my friends and I don't want constant drama.
Another example happened recently with the whole JLF thing, where it was clearly some new player but it feels like they were treated in a pretty rude manner even if they were kinda instigating.
In 2009 the flag of Amman, the capital or Jordana and largest city in the Levant, was changed to this abomination.
The flag has the 5 colors of Tibetan prayer flags, each representing one of the 5 elements and directions. And the emblem is a Dharmachakra supported by two Victory Banners topped with a Jeweled Parasol all of which auspicious symbols in Buddhism. Let me know your thoughts.

Hello I am a wandering monk, new to the server and I'm tired of being homeless, so I'm looking to construct a monastery, does anyone know of any nations that would be welcoming to the idea?
So I am planning a trip to Nepal and possibly Sikkim but I just can't find an literary that has what I'm looking for. I really want to pray at the monasteries and the see the culture of Nepal but every group travel trip seems to only focus on the nature. I also prefer to be in a smaller group of 10 or less people with a lot of downtime so I can explore and see things for myself. I'd also prefer to do some volunteer work like teaching English if possible.
I've been to several countries and I consider myself a good traveler but this would be my first time going without anyone I know.
Does anybody know of any tours that have what I'm looking for?
So I've begun taking my practice seriously and feel that the Mahayana path is right for me. But while the overarching foundations of Mahayana resonate with me, none of the subsects like Chan or Pure Land seem to fit with what's best for me. I'm sorry if this is a hard question to understand. I am just unsure of which to way to pursue as they each teach such different things.
So I've been seriously practicing for a couple months now and have felt attracted to Mahayana in particular, for it's communal identity and selfless motives.but one thing I don't understand is how Mahayanas can pray toward other Buddhas and Bodisattvas like gods while not worshipping them? I've heard some people say that figures like the Medicine Buddha are simply representations of concepts rather than historical people like Gautama, but I'm not sure to what degree this applies? I'd appreciate this help because I really wish to follow the Mahayana path but this question has been nagging at me for a while. Thank you 💙 💛 ♥️ 🤍 🧡
Let me know what you think.
I've recently started practicing and have begun working on my first art piece but I can't decide what to do for the background, any recommendations would be appreciated 🙂
I've seen it in Tibetan art and I'm not sure what it represents, it reminds of Tuluths in Arabic.
I'm not sure if I'm Buddhist or not. I've been thinking of converting to Buddhism, and I'm following the precepts and I believe in the Buddha's teachings, but I also don't know If I fully believe in the metaphysical aspects of it, but how much do I have to, in order to officially be considered Buddhist? Who gets to decide? Do I have to read the Sutras? I am really confused please help 😭

Item #: SCP-9XXX
Clearance Level 2: Restricted
Object Class: Euclid Keter
Disruption Class: 4/Ekhi
Risk Class: 3/Warning
Special Containment Procedures: During SCP-9XXX's active phase, the airspace surrounding SCP-9XXX is to be closed and an aircraft fitted with high powered lights escorted by an MTF fighter is to lead SCP-9XXX along a predetermined route away from populated areas. Every three hours or when SCP-9XXX stops following the aircraft, the pilot is to power down their lights and reposition the aircraft to a different direction before turning the lights back on to regain SCP-9XXX's attention.
Should these methods of containment fail as they did on 21/1/2016, all population centers within a 30 mile radius are to have their power cut, with civilians being advised to stay indoors while a MTF is called and further containment method are attempted.
Description: SCP-9XXX is a massive entity, estimated to be nearly 200 meters in height, located in the southern Appalachian region in the United States. SCP-9XXX's body plan is vaguely humanoid, possessing four prehensile appendages, attached to a torso with a rounded head devoid of any facial features, except a pair of reflective eyes. SCP-9XXX does not to be aggressive with damage it has caused to residential areas occurring due to it's sheer size.
SCP-9XXX exhibits predictable behavior and does not seem to have any form of higher intelligence, during it's inactive phase SCP-9XXX will bury itself into a patch of land it deems suitable, and will lie dormant until its active phase. During nights with a full or gibbous moon, SCP-9XXX enters it's active phase. Throughout it's active phase SCP-9XXX will usually wander towards the brightest source of light it can see, with the exception of the Moon. This may be due to an evolutionary adaptation to hunt prey or out of curiosity.
It is unknown what SCP-9XXX eats of if it eats at all, as it has never been seen consuming anything. Theories have been posed by research teams that SCP-9XXX may be photosynthetic, gathering nutrients from the ground during it's inactive phase and using the light of the moon to trigger the necessary chemical reactions to sustain itself, although this has not been confirmed.
Addendum 1:
On 21/1/16 SCP-9XXX lost interest in the aircraft containing it and began moving south, with auxiliary measures failing, it continued for 2 hours until reaching the town of █████, 52% of the town was destroyed causing 68 casualties.
Addendum 2:
On 10/5/18 Reports of a second instance of a creature resembling SCP-9XXX in the Naryn Region of Kyrgyzstan was brought to the attention of foundation staff. The second instance deemed SCP-9XXX-2 was confirmed on 28/5/18 with the same containment procedures being imposed as SCP-9XXX-1 and foundation staff being assigned to search for further instances.
Addendum 3:
Over the next three years from 2019 to 2021, 5 additional instances were located across Asia, Africa and the Americas bringing the total to 7 instances. Object reclassified as Keter.
Addendum 4:
As of 10/2/24, 15 total instances of SCP-9XXX have been confirmed worldwide, researchers have raised concerns that SCP-9XXX may be an expansive subterranean species with the potential to cause an SK-class dominance shift scenario should enough appear.
Addendum 5:
As of 9/8/25, 17 total instances of SCP-9XXX have been confirmed, foundation officials are weighing whether or not to terminate redundant instances.
