Reposted by François Loeserbodhidave @bodhidave.bsky.social · 08/04/2026It's a bit of an extension, but you remind me that the word from Buddhism most often translated as "enlightenment" (in part due to influence of the western Enlightenment movement) is, more literally, "awakening" (*bodhi*). And a buddha is someone who is awakened — so "Buddhism" is "woke-ism." 🙂 🙏 2172 17
