>mfw every religion has an addendum to make sure the cattle keep working instead of actually retreating into inner peace
>>18410699You realize that "achieving inner peace" still means you have to work and not just be a bed rotting NEET, right?>Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.
>>18410699What about ultra orthodox jews
>>18410699Shintō and Buddhism will bring you to inner peace.
>>18410771Shinto is an ethnoreligion and the only way to practice it outside Japan is by venerating ones ancestors and nature, which can be fone outside a Shinto frame at any momemt. Buddhism only makes sense as a monk, because enlightment is only possible if you're a monk. Besides, Buddhism is self denial and ultimately self anihilation. Like sure if you want to call becoming a spiritual vegetable "peace" then go ahead. It's still spiritual suicide.
>>18410699>mfw every religion has an addendum to make sure civilization keeps runningI am shocked, OP
>by “inner peace” I mean watching porn and anime in mom’s basement while smoking weed all day
>>18410749Jesus disagrees he says work is gay and you should sell all your possessions and be poor forever
>>18410774There's actually multiple paths to achieve enlightenment, not just the "monk" path. Idk about the paths in Buddhism but Hinduism offers many many paths in the form of "Yogas" which can range from performing your duty assigned to your Varna to meditating till you transcend .
>>18410779>>18410838Why would God care?
>>18410838Yes? Nice try gaslighting good people into becoming soulless drones for ZOG. You are cuck since you let other men dictate your life, from cradle to grave.
>>18410761they're the most fanfictiony of all jews, not only do they believe in the standard rabbinical corpus of orthodox judaism, but most also believe in kabbalah that was invented a couple of hundred years ago
>>18410774Theravada only makes sense as a monk. Mahayana is more layman friendly.
>>18411099All hasidim are haredi but not all haredim are hasidic. Hasidim are the ones fixated on kabbalah. Haredim in general are more legalistic than mystic in their focus.
>>18411000Contrary to your natural end as a created man. Squandering your potential. Leads into further sin and evil.
>>18411149Doesn't that undermine the credibility of buddhism? Theravada says enlightment is a long process that takes several lives, most of which must be spent as a monk in order to achieve Nirvana. On the other hand, Mahayana says enlightment for laymen is possible and is doable in one life. Both statements can't be true at the same time.
>>18411279Both statements can't be true at once, which is why they're different branches of the same religion. You either agree with the Mahayana perspective or the Theravada, not both simultaneously .
Even Marxism has this
