18 posts held, back to 25 May 2026 β the reader has not yet reached the start of this channelβs public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegramβs post history, 20 posts per page.
ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) Γ· viewsβ note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegramβs public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than βcorrectingβ the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form β 8.12K, 3.7M β so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded β read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.
102 reactions across 14 posts, in 4 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 54.9% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| β€ | 56 | 54.9% | |
| π | 27 | 26.5% | |
| π₯ | 13 | 12.7% | |
| π | 6 | 5.88% |
No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities β π is thanks in one channel and mourning in another β so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one β 4.34K, 1.2M β so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 14 of the 18 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegramβs own count on each post β not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above β those same posts carry 102reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by βa reaction total printed elsewhere on the pageβ.
Measured over the 18 most recent posts we hold, published 25 May 2026 to 7 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
Buddha on Laziness By consorting with a lazy person, even a virtuous person sinks; therefore one should steer clear of a lazy person, who is weak in effort. One should dwell together with the wise, with the secluded Noble Ones; with resolute meditators, who are continuously energetic. - Itivutakka 78 DhΔtusosaαΉsandana sutta The opposite of laziness is rousing of energy, diligence, vigour, continuous effort.

Form is Emptiness, Emptiness is Form We have the mindfulness to give up evil, to be a person who is established in sila. We give up evil, making merit, and purify the mind. We practise like this and ultimately one day the mind will gather together, and it will be amazing what we can see. We see emptiness. We see rupa, form. But there is emptiness in that form. Or in that emptiness, there is form in that as well. β¦

Unshakeable Mind Train your mind to be indifferent to praise or blame, Honor or dishonor, gain or loss, pleasure or pain. Let your mind remain steady and unmoved, Like a mountain peak unshaken by the wind. - Shantideva, The Way of the Bodhisattva

BrahmΔ Sahampati Requests Lord Buddha to teach the Dhamma BrahmΔ Sahampati is one of the most significant divine figures in early Buddhist texts, appearing repeatedly in the Pali Canon.

What needs to be done, I will do. The duty of one whose energy is strong; the duty of one who longs for awakening: that Iβll do, I wonβt fail. See my energy and vigor! Teach me the path, the direct route whose objective is freedom from death. Iβll know it with wisdom, as the Ganges knows the ocean. - Thag 2.24

NO ANGER, NO SUFFERING Whoever returns insult to one who is insulting, returns taunts to one who is taunting, returns a berating to one who is berating, is said to be exchanging with one another, sharing company with that person. But I am neither exchanging nor sharing your company, Brahmin. It's all yours. How can anger arise in one who is angerless, In the tamed one of righteous living, In one liberated by perfecβ¦

Showing the 12 most recent of 18 posts we hold for @BuddhistHistory. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked β was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it β t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so β1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank β 435,640 of 1,622,561entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below β republished posts weigh more than named mentions β and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channelβs name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page β a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture.

Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 24 August 2026 β this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
