Rachel Hiles comments on her twitter reluctance over at Tricycle in a post called A Buddhist’s Guide to Twitter.
As someone slow to embrace the Twitter phenomenon, I’ve approached the site with great caution, and perhaps a touch of suspicion. I often wondered if I could use Twitter without falling victim to my ego and shamelessly indulging in detailing the ins-and-outs of my day, giving a digital voice to my inner monologue. Determined not to be the last person on earth who wasn’t “tweeting,” I did some research and found the advice of Soren Gordhamer especially helpful. In a recent Huffington Post blog post “If the Buddha Used Twitter…” Gordhamer suggests 5 ways in which the Buddha might have approached Twitter, reminding us that it’s not what we tweet but how we live away from our online worlds that really matters…
Of course you can read on, but make sure you give Gordhamer’s post a read as well.
