buddhism doesn't say that you should own nothing, it's just a philosophy that tells you not to get overly attached to shit and it's mostly meant to help poor people ease their suffering. If you take it too seriously it has a bunch of bullshit like all religions, but don't tell me that you wouldn't rather live surrounded by buddhists than by jews

detachment from the material is contrary to what the WEF state demands out of you.
The Zionist Noahide world order will enslave you through your senses and your bodily needs for food and sex, through your ego as well, by exploiting your desire for status and a positive social standing.

They will use porn and virtual sex, they will use foodchains and replace the local producers, they will establish a social credit system that works along with social media, then you will depend on the system in order to maintain your basic needs.

Now if you practiced a spirituality that teaches detachment, the WEF wouldn't hold any leverage over you. You would be able to live on without being part of the system, most likely as a hermit who survives off from nature by having the minimum needs met, a man can survive months with a proper breathing technique plus some sunlight and nothing else

Material dis-attachement just seems good for the most part, both for rich and poor. But idk, buddhism is maybe not perfect and there can be some arguments against it.
Dharmic religions just seem more based than abrahamism anyways

Buddhist/dharmic lore also very gangster. I think there is a lore-teaching that buddha went down into the underworld and converted the king of the naga snakepeople to Dharma many thousands of years ago

It’s nearly identical to Christianity

Both are centered around the idea that reality is fake and your life is just a test for a reward in the afterlife
Both teach you to be a cuck in all ways
Both are staffed by cynical atheist priests and pedos who like to sinmaxx while preaching to the masses about how to be a total bitch
Both religions have a heaven and hell (yes Buddhism has that, look it up)
Both have monks
Both have schizo theology

In Laotia we Buddhists like to tell a story... And you know just how much a Buddhist LOVE a story.. Anyways, there was a man being chased by a tiger. He ran off the cliff, but there was another tiger at the bottom of that cliff! The man grab a branch hanging off the side of the cliff, to save himself. On that branch was a strawberry. He picked that strawberry, and ate it, and it was the best strawberry he ever had.

The WEF wants you to own nothing while you suffer in samsara. If you come to nirvikalpa samadhi, your being is recognized as infinite, unending and unchanging bliss. If you were to coom in every hot woman who ever existed and multiply the pleasure by a million it would still pale in comparison to this bliss. There's a difference between pleasure as an emotion/temporal thing and this bliss which doesn't depend on anything. It can't be interrupted or affected at all by anything temporal.

That being said, most modern Buddhists are reddit-tier nihilists.
>>
>>24085402
While Christianity does promote a level of detachment from worldly concerns, it's done in moderation. It's about rejection of sin, not complete detachment. My point stands under this framework.

>>24085403
All the legit religions point to this because it's obvious. If you just live to accumulate you can feel that something is wrong with that. People give to charity and do philanthropy because even for atheists there's something inside that says that this is wrong to have so much. Why do people in third worlds with much less have happier lives with no suicides or population collapse? Having your life built around accumulating things is wicked. It's also just hollow. We are not happier than our ancestors because we have more stuff. Most people just want belonging and free time which require nothing but you have to be a good little consumer to keep this evil system going so maybe you can simulate that freedom a few days a year in vacation

Yeah, being able to give each of your kids a free college education, a $20k deposit for a house and pay for a $10k wedding out of pocket sure is wicked and hollow. Make sure not to accumulate things, goy, nobody wants you competing for the limited slots on literally everything.

It's suicidal in this world to not be materialistic. You just need to be smart enough to rank your family, friends and community over your materials. People first, things second doesn't mean things aren't important.

what like a fundamental level. you have the reading of sacred texts. you have the prayer, you have some practices. but beyond that Christianity and Buddhism are totally different. Buddhism is closer to Hinduism with the only major differences in the words being used.

You're not wrong, but how many people set out with a "people first, things second" mentality only to be swayed to "things first" as they go? Materialism is seductive and so more stringent generalizations against materialism are wiser in the vast majority of cases.

Buddhism is similar - it taught the "middle way" as a response to the excessive ascetism of Hindpoos at the time.

Lay people are encouraged to just follow the dharma (live a virtuous life). All the weird ascetic practices and rejecting the world are reserved for monks and nuns.

Which now that I think about it is similar to Christianity - it also has a tradition of monks and nuns starving themselves and being hermits in the desert and shit but lay people aren't expected to do that

The biggest problem in Buddhism and Hinduism is reincarnation.
Reincarnation is the ultimate victim blaming doctrine.

A child born with a disability? "Oh, they must have been a war criminal in their past life"
A nation hit by an earthquake? "Just bad karma, bro"

It turns empathy into judgment and justifies social hierarchy. It doesn't solve suffering; it validates it.

Reincarnation is a brilliant scam invented by the elites to make the oppressed believe their suffering is their own fault so they won't rebel. It’s basically Eugenics with a spiritual coat of paint

It’s a bugged game where the devs keep banning new accounts for the IP history of the previous owner.

The reason reincarnation was created is also funny. The Aryans from Iran invaded Northern India and established themselves as the ruling class. They invented this twisted 'Reincarnation' nonsense specifically to pacify the natives and prevent uprisings.

The message was simple: 'You’re poor and oppressed because you were a scumbag in your past life. Accept your miserable place and don't even dream of social mobility or success.'

There’s a reason why India, with all its vast land, resources, and massive population, failed to spark an Industrial Revolution.

When your entire culture is built on 'accepting your karma' rather than changing your reality, you stay stuck in the mud for thousands of years while the rest of the world moves on.

And it was about rejecting the authority of the Brahmin caste and ritualism that came along with it.

Which I think has parallels with Jesus' arguments with the Pharisees.

The difference is Christianity preserves the authority of earlier scripture and centered on the figure of Jesus and empathized dependence on him for salvation.

Buddhism outright rejected the authority of earlier scripture and the importance of worshipping the Hindu gods. And the Buddha's last words to his followers before he died were something like
>Don't just take my word for it, figure it out for yourselves

Which of course later generations ignored and some sects like Amida Buddhism even started worshipping him as a god like figure

Only in your American Protestant mc Christianity

People who take their faith seriously have 0 moderation when it comes to detatchememt. The entire point of Christianity so the belief that "this life and everything in it is a test where God will judge you and decide if you should spend eternity in heaven or hell"

So nothing in this life matters or is true and everything is a test set up by God.

I'm an Indian and have read a lot of about Hinduism and Buddhism.

Buddhism is a generalization of Hinduism, where the gods and their tales are just another layer in the onion above humanity. It's quite brilliant actually.

Us Brahmins were so afraid of it taking over and destroying the caste system that we stole features of Buddhism such as vegetarianism. Brahmins used to sacrifice horses at spiritual events.

As with other religions where the end goal is to leave the world (like advaita vedanta) it succumbs to the fact that we live in the material world. A large part of the intellectual class spending their time trying to leave the world means that the Afghans come in and just destroy Nalanda thinking it was just a fort.

I like Daoism

Clearly you don't understand Buddhism if you don't know the basic story of Siddhartha where he left the temple of luxury, passing a sick man, and old man and a corpse. where he later sat under a tree to reach nirvana, he realized the 4 noble truths of life.
all the men were suffering in some way of life. we all get sick, old and die.
so suffering doesn't make you special or unique (except even i would say that some people do have it pretty bad in life). that were all going to suffer. so to get over your predicament of knowing that bad stuff happens is to reach nirvana, which essentially is a state of being that we don't normally exist in because we are too busy suffering. and to maintain that through your life. where reincarnation comes in, is that a big issue with fear, which can fuel suffering is death. but if you believe in reincarnation then it doesn't matter. its just one of the phases of life.
You can easily draw parallels between this and Christ who also knew that this life we live is just one and there is an eternal afterlife. which could be perceived as reincarnation. but people will nitpick the differences. you know especially when you do good you go to heaven and you do bad you go to hell. but what would a Christian know about karma or something.
I mean that story of the Buddha is literally the first story of Buddhism that most people learn.

>>24085443
Rituals give people a sense of cultural grounding. That's why they've always been so important in every religion. Once modern Christianity embraced the "God is completely abstract and whatever you want him/her to be", it lost its meaning for millions of young people. Humans are wired to show devotion to idols, whether that idol is a big black box in Mecca, Christ on a stick, a gold Buddha, or the elephant Ganesh.
>>
>>24085434

Reincarnation in Buddhism doesn't make sense to me.

The Hindpoos believe the soul is eternal and liberation/salvation is reuniting with Brahma (a sort of impersonal, "ultimate being" type of god). Or recognizing your soul was always a piece of Brahma and your separation from it was an illusion.

Buddhism teaches even the self is an illusion. There's no eternal soul or essence that's "you" from reincarnation to reincarnation. It's just a bundle of karmic causes and effects and incoherent desires.

If the thing that's getting reincarnated isn't "me" why should I give a shit about the next reincarnation or getting off the cycle of death and rebirth? Idk.

And when you look into Zen Buddhism it takes an almost atheist bent, emphasizes enlightenment right now in the life and speaks in paradoxes you can't really nail down.
>>
>>24085434
>Reincarnation is the ultimate victim blaming doctrine.
Something isn't true on false depending on how it makes you feel. In samsaric religions, karma is a law of cause and effect directly observed by accomplished spiritual practitioners as a consequence of supermundane insight. If you don't believe in it on some logical basis that fair but "I don't like how it makes me feel" is a poor argument.

Medieval christians were also forced by the church to be vegetarian for significant portions of the year. It probably would have been the whole year if European diets were less meat based to begin with. And christian teachings are also very pacifistic and life denying. Buddhism is cucked for sure.

Yes, in Hinduism reincarnation is slightly different in perception. but the same also. so your body is just a vessel to host your spirit, and your soul is that which you do with the body. so the spirit. which is in all things. drops the body and returns to brahma.
he takes no prisoners (but if you know some stories like hanuman then there is that exception). All must return to that source. people get attached to their bodies, or their lives or their things (which leads to suffering) and they like to know if they reincarnate that they get their things back.
this is where I would say that Hinduism is actually suppose to be monotheistic, but there is billions of gods in deities that all come through Brahma.
The misconception that Buddhism is "Atheist" is just and old wives tale of misinformation. its literally full of God and Demons and stories of divinity just like any other faith.
The Idea that arises is that people are selfish because they want to reach nirvana, that they reject suffering of others. which isn't quite the way its suppose to be. basically practice your goodness by meditation to clean your personal life the same way you polish a mirror. so that your reflection is clear. thus when you are that, you make it easier for others to be that.

so you mean to tell me, that God, the almighty, the infinite, and ever pervading. ONLY intervened a couple of times in the history of humanity to make the world a better place.
every single thing else going on in the universe
BLEH. God's too busy to do that. he needs to spend SPECIAL time with his CHOSEN Faggots.
he just doesnt have enough time i guess.

Because it's a step by step method to remove stress. You can test every step yourself, there's no blind faith. If you go to a doctor and they give you antibiotics and tell you to take it for a week is that a religion? If you want to get rid of stress in your life Buddhism is instruction on how, you don't have to follow them if you don't want to or if you think they're not working or whatever.

>are Pretas or the Prajñā relevant
They're not, and none of that was taught by Buddha. It's better to stick to the earliest, most original suttas. A lot of OTHER religions tried to mix buddhism in after it spread to them. Just like christians tried to do their whole intelligent design nonsense to pretend like science is christian.

It is a religion because its about a lot more than what people understand.
Ultimately in meditation is to quite the mind. but that doesn't always work one way or another. sometimes you can use prana (breathwork) to "create space" breath work isnt just in and out. there are techniques to it. like you could do a long inhale, and a short exhale 10x times then reverse it to quick inhale and long exhale. i find that doing breathwork as a technique is better because it keeps you focused and less drowsy and dozing off.
or mantra (one line sutra prayers) usually by a mala. to count. you say the sutra over and over again. the sutra will have meaning to it. usually. like a sutra that is common that most people want is a "sutra for wealth" or "success" or "health" bleh. so you are going to focus on those things, when you practice the mantra. and this is to overload your mental capacity, basically its like turboing your brain so when you get tired of praying. you reach that calm quite space that you want to get to.
if your wise and done this alot you might figure out one day that mantra is breathwork too. and if you do it again and again that you will create a breathwork patter here as well.
the purpose of doing yoga or tai chi or whatever is that your body can hurt when you sit down and meditate. this is a problem because you want to go IN IN IN to your own natural state of mind. and thoughts and body pains can pull you out of it.
so exercise helps with the meditation. prayer. prana. there are other techniques as well like chakra stuff. holding one or more gates of your chakras. as well as mudra's (hand signs) your hand sign could be a point of focus to once again use as a tool to overcome the mind and try to quite it so you can go deeper.

the religious aspect of this is that you are suppose to reach enlightenment. the best way i can describe it, is you taste ONE drop of teh infinite goodness in life to remind you that place exists within our selves.
i guess you could say its a factory reset. so when you calm your mind down, and return to a more natural state of being, thats where you are ultimately suppose to be. not angry, or exhausted, or frustrated, or bored or whatever has you hung up.
then when you are enjoying some inner peace THEN you help others. which is the religeous aspect. fix yourself then you can help others.
people deny this. they dont get it. they never get to the point where they taste that single drop on their tongue of the infinite and MANY people will go their entire lives not knowing what the buddhists know, or the hindu's on the secret of life.
thats too damn bad for the bible humping christians that just want to fart sniff all day and pretend like their way of life is the ONLY way.
how foolish and in the dark some really can be. never the less christ or god can touch those without mediation. it happens to the worst people still. they still get reminded through their arrogance that the goodness of god exists. but boy oh boy. let them ram their ONLY TRUE way down your throat in stupidity.

No you literally just follow the breath. Don't teach people your newage made up bullshit. Following the breath is what the Buddha taught, it's a direct, easy method of meditation that has direct, easy results.

i can take the ban, the board will still be there when it expires
just want some clarification as to where, precisely, the line is between church and state
>>
>>24085632
its literally just christians thinking this is how to spread christianity. to make every other faith literally bad so the only way is christianity.
i am a believer of christ. but these god damn heathans are lost souls pretending like they get whatever. if they spent some time praying to god or just doing something good then they wouldnt be so powerhungry.
but hey, i can be that way too sometimes. i guess i just see the bigger picture of the game.

And the separation between church and state has got what to do with Alexander cutting the Gordian knot?

Buddha believed obtaining Enlightenment would end his cycle of reincarnation you disingenuous faggot. You can't argue about what he himself believed when he himself based those "sImPle sTePs" around his own supernatural beliefs.

You're a faggot whl only has a cursory knowledge of the religion.

i had a master tell me to stop thinking that Yin and Yang = Positive and Negative
think of them more as opposite forces. like Yin is Slow, where Yang is Fast. think of a rock and a hummingbird. these are Yin and Yang. not one is good and one is bad. its just describing differences in energy.
yeah there are other elements to Yin and Yang, there is nuance where Yin represents feminine and Yang Masculine. and of coarse also the GOOD and BAD too.
balancing also these energies is the goal and ideal of Taoism, like you said with the buddha. you know the middle line that divides of the Yin Yang symbol is the middle path.
so if someone takes it to the extreme, like what do you mean? we talking you laying around too much or you non stop work?
this is my personal interpretation. you are surfing on the wave. you cannot control the wave just like you cannot control life, if you want to learn how to surf and live a good life, you just have to learn how to work with the wave.
many people have said that the middle line that divides is the wave to ride.

fact: buddhist = cuckold
