“The Spookiest of All Ghosts” isn’t about haunted houses or things that go bump in the night. It’s about the restless hungers that haunt our own hearts and minds. The cravings, habits, and addictions that whisper “just one more.” Drawing on the Buddha’s teachings and Dr. Gabor Maté’s In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, we explored how to face those inner ghosts with compassion, not fear. And how to feed them wisely with mindfulness, connection, and love. I hope you enjoy the

Send us a text The temperature around migration is high, but the data tells a calmer, sharper story: Australia’s aging population and deep labor shortages mean skilled newcomers are not a luxury—they’re the reason emergency rooms stay open, bridges get built, and classrooms don’t go dark. We dig into how the 1,500 people arriving each day are selected to fill critical gaps in healthcare, construction, aged care, education, and tech, and why this intake is modeled to support growth, not strain...

Echoes and Commentaries is a companion to the stories — a place to pause, look deeper, and trace the ideas that echo through them. Here I share context, history, and personal insights that may help the stories connect more closely with your own experience. Each of these reflections is just one way of hearing the story’s echo. I hope they resonate with you — or raise new questions. Find the Glossary at bit.ly/BuddhistFiction

The story of Angulimala is one of the best-known narratives in the Buddhist tradition. Here, I've tried to reframe it with compassion.

Send us a text Fear makes big promises. It says if we exile the people we hate, we’ll be safer. Law says something else: take responsibility, manage the risk, and hold your ground. We follow the Australian women once labeled “ISIS brides” from social media grooming and coerced border crossings to the fall of the caliphate, years in Kurdish-run detention camps, and finally the quiet flights home—where intelligence vetting, child welfare assessments, control orders, and countering violent extre...

Hilma af Klint è la prima pittrice astrattista della storia. Cresce nella Svezia luterana dell’Ottocento, ma in una famiglia progressista e appassionata di scienza. Claudio Morici ci racconta la sua vita tra sedute spiritiche, spiriti guida, disegno automatico. Hilma riceve messaggi da entità superiori che la spingono a dipingere l’invisibile: forme astrali, simboli, vortici cosmici. Steiner la snobba, Kandinsky si prende il merito. Ma Hilma non si arrende. Il mondo non è pronto? Lei dipinge oltre
