>buddhism says "life is suffering"
>kills himself and ends suffering
Did he take Buddhism to its logical conclusion?

>According to the Buddhist teaching of cause and effect, since one has not realised the truth of all phenomena, or is not liberated from life and death, suicide is pointless.

>>24854417
according to buddhism he probably went to some naraka so his suffering didn't end
>>
who even is this faggot that keeps making mainlander threads?

No, he rejected the role of karma/causality and the cycle of rebirth, the different realms of being and got fixated upon seeking death as the "finality" of everything.
>>
>>24855031
Further he ignored the role of the right mental cultivation. Buddhism is all about the RIGHT mindset.

Some of most active, or terminally-online Buddhists on this board are crypto-materialist hylics who don't actually believe that you are reborn and they insist that it's figurative or even that Buddha never taught rebirth and it was added to the Pali Canon by other people.

The irrefutable and inevitable logical conclusion of their worldview is that they should commit suicide immediately, because non-existence is deemed incomparably preferable to existing in the midst of occasional suffering. The reason they don't do this is because they are either cowards and/or addicted to sense-pleasures, which prevents them from fulfilling their own worldview. They like to appropriate Mahayana rhetoric to the extent that it can be twisted to superficially resemble Nietzsche but they don't actually believe in any any of the supernatural or religious elements of Buddhism.

These people are spiritually sub-human.

Samsara is conditioned and Nirvana is the Unconditioned, they are not the same thing according to Buddha. Even Mahayana and Vajrayana texts typically don't say they are the exact same thing but introduce subtle differences, i.e. texts attributed to Kalki Pundarika that Tibetan authors cite compare Nirvana to the sun and Samsara to a shadow.

Christcucks, completely enslaved by their pathetic heaven-or-hell delusion, can’t comprehend anything beyond their infantile escape fantasy. To them, death is just a magic portal to their imaginary sky paradise, where they can finally be free from the suffering they were too weak to face in life. Like the mindless cattle they are, they project this same braindead thinking onto Buddhism, spewing their low-IQ take: "Why don’t you just kill yourself to reach nirvana?" as if enlightenment is just another cheap afterlife scam like theirs. They can’t grasp that Buddhism isn’t about running away—it’s about obliterating suffering at its root and mastering existence itself.

Like scared animals, they only understand suffering in the most primitive, physical sense—flinching from pain, chasing pleasure, and groveling for divine rescue instead of taking responsibility. Their entire existence is fear-driven, shackled to the terror of hell and the desperate hope for heaven. The idea that suffering is a mental construct, something that can be understood and transcended, is completely beyond them. They are prisoners in their own minds, slaves to their own weakness, forever licking the boots of a system that exploits their cowardice, while Buddhists shatter those chains and leave them crawling in the filth where they belong.

That doesn't makes sense since Buddhism has a much more tolerant view concerning suicide than Christianity. Christians always think suicide is an abhorrant act that condemns you to hell automatically, while you can find Buddhist sects where monks would slowly kill themselves through asceticism to attain Buddha-nature. Rome and Greece were also OK with suicide if it was to preserve one's honor. Abrahamics are, if anythiing, neurotically anti-suicide compared to everyone else.

>>24855335
That assumption just proves you don’t understand Buddhism at all and are too lazy or ignorant to even try. Nirvana isn’t death—it’s liberation from craving, attachment, and ignorance. Suicide doesn’t achieve that; it’s an act driven by suffering and delusion, the exact opposite of what Buddhism teaches. If you’re too weak to handle the actual discipline and insight required to understand the path, you’re better off keeping quiet instead of flaunting your stupidity.

Killing yourself wouldn’t achieve nirvana; it would just perpetuate the cycle of suffering you’re trapped in.

Just arrived to this thread and I completely agree

May all sentient beings be freed from their mental afflictions which are the cause of their suffering.

May all sentient beings attain perfect knowledge which dispels their ignorance completely and thus allow for their liberation.

take a step back and think about where you are before you think about saying deluded statements like this again.

No.

I finally understand begin to appreciate the language buddhist use. Initially I didn't think anything about the word "buddhist says desire is causse of suffering". I thought that was bit lazy wording cause other buddhists were saying "nooo thats not exactly accurate". So I took those to consideration and tried to be precise with usage of words like clinging/grasping/etc. But with my post nut clarity, I realized, what it was. Desire is exactly the correct word. Desire is the obsessive actionable delusion that our mind/consciousness operates under. Clinging/grasping vocab is bit too sanitized and devoid of the soul/obsessiveness that tempers our day to day life that cannot be separated via logic/reason, but is part of the primal guidance system.
