So its just egotism, self worship and self delusion turned into a "religion". The more time you stay still deluding yourself the greater your "buddha nature".
>>18030783The point of achieving a Nirvana is explicitly to negate one's ego, retard. You couldn't have missed the point of Buddhism any harder if you tried. It's the most right hand path of all right hand path philosophies.
You don't want other perspectives on buddhism you just want to be right
>>18030783Buddha nature is a Mahayana concept.
>>18031417Every midwit wants to "refute" Buddhism
>>18030822He is right. Its always how do i stop suffering. Not how to end all suffering
>>18032522also wrong, use wikipedia ffs
>>18030822Nirvana isn't negation of the ego or anything else. Ideally, one eventually transcends active negation into just plain awareness.>>18032522They already know how to stop suffering, all suffering. Four noble truths, eightfold path, plus all the extra things a buddhist group may or may not believe. But it's not the kind of thing you can do by force. What are you going to do, force people to meditate? You have to embark on it yourself for it to work.I'm sure it's unsatisfactory to someone who is compulsively drawn to the thought of remaking the world into his ideal.
>>18032539>caring for others is part of enlightenmentYou care for other because you want to be free from sufferingHas nothing to do with actually caring
>>18032522Theravada is how to end my suffering. Mahayana is how to end all suffering.
>>18032561And why care?
>>18032522Back in my days, trolling meant something.
>>18032565Compassion
>>18032561Mahayana makes no sense.
>>18032582No religion does
>>18030783
>>18032579Some people have more than others, i have non.Why should i?
>>18032587You decide that
>>18032602Then why would anyone ver decide to have compassion?
>I want to escape existence>Not a death cultpick one
>>18032621I don't know. Some do it out of fear of God. Some rationalize it out of fear of God. And some deny they ever feel it at all
>>18030822buddhism isn't left hand, but it's definitely not right hand since it rejects any and all eternalist doctrines.
>>18030783What is it about Buddhism specifically that makes Christcucks seethe so hard? No other religion gets them this worked up but there's almost always at least one thread like this up.
>>18033890Everything about buddhism stands in direct contradiction to not only christianity, but abrahamanism at large, so its natural for them to hate it.
>>18030783Buddhism is quite literally too high IQ and abstract for most normalfags like (You) to get.The Buddha already said it in his days, that this doctrine was too subtle, hard to see, hard to realize, only for wise Aryans. He did not want to teach at all but the deva Brahma Sahampati begged him to turn the wheel of dharma.You don't even make any arguments to deserve a serious reply.Just accept that (You) are spiritually inferior.Pic related, your phenotype.
I have a question about Buddhism but I didn't want to make another thread about it.I've been reading on the Buddha, and at one point, the Buddha is talking about things you should reflect on and things you shouldn't reflect on, and he says what happens if you reflect on things you shouldn't reflect on:"When he reflects unwisely in this way, one of the six false views arises in him:1. I have a Self: this view arises in him as true and real.2. I have no Self: this view arises in him as true and real.3. By Self I perceive Self: this view arises in him as true and real.4. By Self I perceive non-self: this view arises in him as true and real.5. By non-self I perceive Self: this view arises in him as true and real.6. Or a wrong view arises in him as follows: This is my Self, which speaks and feels, which experiences the fruits of good and bad actions now here and now there, this Self is permanent, stable, everlasting, unchanging, remaining the same for ever and ever."I thought I understood the distinction between "Self," meaning the supposed permanent unchanging "Self," and "self," the impermanent and conditioned "self." But what is the Buddha saying here? I only understood numbers 1 and 6.
>>18030822If they're so egoless, why do they have such hard time admitting that their religion is a death cult? That's literally what it is. Death from death worship, cult from the figure called Buddha.>oh they don't worship death you misunderstoodYes they do. They want to kill themselves and never come back to life ever again. That's what you call worshipping death. You sit in a monastery somewhere staring at a wall like a zombie, waiting to die and never come back to this earth ever again. That's supposedly the greatest achievement in Buddhism.
>>18035804Because the Buddha says that wanting death is wrong. There's a difference between wanting to die and wanting to live your life meaningfully in such a way that you don't need to come back.Imagine having such a wonderful day at an amusement park that you say, "Nothing could ever top this. If I came back, it wouldn't be the same." That's the point.
the extinction or quiescence of Buddhism is not deathnirvana is not deathit's an unconditioned statejust as much as you can say that it's never having to live again, you can say that it's never having to die againit's like saying wanting to go to heaven instead of stay on earth is worshiping death because you want to leave this world behindand in the teachings of the Mahayana you find that nirvana is not even a final, ultimate extinctionbut that actually eternal life as a buddha is the final extinction, the permanent dwelling in a divine state of unbounded, luminous consciousness where you're neither a part of the cycle of suffering or something apart from it but something that transcends all distinction
>>18035804The Buddha taught the Middle Way. You are describing Jainism.
>>18034444radioactively based
Buddhism is more of an ancient self help program than a religion.
>>18036713Depending on who you ask. I don't subscribe to any of the theological aspects of Buddhism, but a lot of Buddhists do believe in things such as deities, ghosts, demons, and hells. My interest in Buddhism is strictly about reducing the suffering experienced by myself and others in this life. I am interested in what can be seen and known, not what has to be "believed in," and I do think a lot of Buddhists feel that way too.
>>18035777Your little separate self is the ego. The great Self, the Oversoul, is great unconditioned void, Yin, itself the source of potential that Yang uses for creation. Buddhist practice evens out the balance of Yin/Yang in you. It's almost always a superabundance of Yang in people that needs to be counterbalanced with Yin feeling. Which is why all the religions have rules about love, compassion, peacefulness, kindness, forgiveness: all Yin-coded.
>>18036914Which school of Buddhism do you follow?
>>18030783>Ego death is egotismHow many layers of copium are you on?
I love buddha
>>18030822>Ack yourself, the religion
>>18037256That would be Jainism.
>>18037256The five precepts tell you not to kill, and that means yourself too.
