The official "Shanti" light novel is so gay that I had to take it upon myself to illustrate some excerpts from it.
Sooo here ya go!
(Fyi there's even more gay stuff that I simply could not illustrate because the book did it itself.)
(These scenes below are my favorite.)
Sha Wujing's Nickname
I was asked a very specific question on Discord: "In the book, do they refer to Wujing more as Sēng or Heshang?" These are both variants for "monk."
Here are the results:
Sha seng (沙僧; "Monk Sha") - 814 times
Wiktionary explains that seng (僧) is a "clipping" of sengqie (僧伽), a transliteration of Sangha, or the "community of monks, nuns, novices and laity."
Sha heshang (沙和尚; "Teacher/Priest Sha") - 94 times
As for heshang (和尚), it is "[b]orrowed from Prakrit 𑀉𑀯𑀚𑁆𑀛𑀸𑀅 (uvajjhāa), 𑀉𑀅𑀚𑁆𑀛𑀸𑀅 (uajjhāa), 𑀉𑀚𑁆𑀛𑀸𑀅 (ujjhāa), 𑀑𑀚𑁆𑀛𑀸𑀅 (ŏjjhāa, 'teacher; religious teacher'), all from Sanskrit उपाध्याय (upādhyāya, 'teacher; preceptor; spiritual adviser'."
I didn't know the etymology of these terms until now. Very interesting.

the four thoughts that turn the mind to dharma
thank you everyone who has sent me messages, who has commented on my blog, who has made me feel so heard and valued that i feel the need to organize this little community journal of mine. thank you for everyone who has come to me for advice, with curiosity and new ideas, wanting to know more about my syncretism between hellenic polytheism and buddhism. i've gone through all of my posts and organized the tags, both for the ease of others and my own use (i've also removed the phrasing 'hellenic' unless followed by 'pagan' or 'polytheist')
ideally all my posts on grecobuddhism and more are now easy to find. i used basic tags so i'm sure it's imperfect, but it's better than not trying at all. i've updated my introduction post to add a tag index, explaining all of the tags (leaving out a few self-explanatory ones) so that this blog is easier to navigate. i'm just honored that there are enough of you showing enough interest that this is even necessary. thank you to my personal temple, thank you to my ragtag sangha, thank you thank you thank you!

Anarchotaoism
Miniature painting of 24 Jain Tirthankaras from Jaipur (c. 1850).
A few days ago, I attended my weekly Sangha and we had a wonderful time. One of the topics we discussed was love for the Lord. When I came home that evening, I picked up The Nectar of Devotion by Srila Prabhupada. The exact chapter I opened to was about loving God simply to love Him—without seeking anything in return.
Sitting there reading, I felt a sense of wonder and thought, "How often do we go to God simply because we love Him, with zero expectations? Sadly, not often." We usually call on the Lord in times of distress. How often do we call on Him in times of peace, love, and joy?
These questions always bring me back to the same realization: I love Him because, honestly, how could you not? When I read the scriptures and reflect on His unyielding mercy and love for us, it just flows naturally. Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, has nothing but love and mercy for us.
I always strive to do the right thing and uphold my dharmic responsibilities. Sometimes I fall short due to my own ignorance, but whenever I call out to Him, He is always there, gently guiding me back.
Maybe it is time we call on Him simply because we love Him—not because we expect Him to save us or give us what we want. Let's call on Him because He loves us, because He makes everything possible, and because of His pure grace.Hare Krishna, may the Lord bless you all. Good night. 🙏✨
