i visited a buddhist place in a country i had never been to before in a family tour group. just for some background, the location was very vast and had a long and ancient history. it also had sarira so i believe that means it was a very important buddhist location.

there was a running water fountain filled with blessed water (?), and i was told to splash a little on my head for good luck by the tour guides, which i did. that night, however, i woke up all sweaty with a throbbing migraine and chest pains. i also experienced nightmares and sleep paralysis, and when i woke up, i felt unusually heavy and as though the lights were extremely bright. everything also felt like one big dream.

i am usually a regular sleeper, rarely have dreams, and generally do not get headaches. i also almost never wake up during the night, not even to use the bathroom, so this experience really scared me.

i was wondering if anyone knowledgeable about buddhism could kindly explain how this might be understood from a buddhist perspective. i am not necessarily assuming that something big happened, but because the experience was so unusual for me, i would really appreciate hearing how a buddhist might interpret it.

Flat earthers genuinely baffle me. It's hard to believe such a stagnant belief still exists in this day and time when we have physics, satellite imagery, and extensive scientific evidence. (which they apparently don't believe in)

How could anybody think the entire world and government is purposefully lying to everyone? This isn't like the vaccine debate, where people argue vaccines are a conspiracy to help big pharma farm more coin from people. What do prominent, reputable organizations have to gain from brainwashing the whole population that the Earth is NOT flat ?!

I think flat earthers are just an attention craving bunch who don't care about seeking truth at all. They just want attention, to be in a small secretive group who hold "special" knowledge no one else is privvy to. They relish in being different from the majority of people.

Even if irrefutable proof of the earth being round was shoved in their faces somehow, they would still be flat earthers. Because to them, that label is a badge of honor.

some of my friends are absolutely grinding out tons of questions while other people are telling me not to memorise my things yet. i was wondering if any former chinese sl students have any tips on prepping for the oral?

I have a dilemma! I was taught that derivative function endpoints are not differentiable. However, what about in a case where the original function is fully differentiable but has a domain restriction? As the endpoints of the derivative function could be found if there were no domain on the original function, would I draw closed or open circles?

i borrowed out my TI-nspire CXII to someone who lost it. I still have the online Ti-nspire app on my laptop with all my saved documents and UDFs. Could I install everything I had in my entire calculator onto a new one if I bought one? This is an emergency, please help!
