>be Buddha>literally design a belief system for intellectuals>knew most people in civilization were hopeless dullards, but "there were those on this Earth with little dust in their eyes" (MN 26), so he decided to teach after hesitation>very first thing Buddha does is denounce god and says life is suffering, to filter the normies but spark the inquisitive nature of the shrewd (literally created 4chan in 500 BCE India)>Buddhism literally roasts the normies (what they called "worldlings" in their times) ""Just as a monkey roaming through a forest wilderness grabs hold of one branch, lets it go and grabs another; then lets that go and grabs still another. In the same way, what’s called ‘mind,’ ‘intellect,’ or ‘consciousness’ by the Worldling (normie) arises as one thing and ceases as another by day and by night." (SN 12.61)>instead of the intellectuals practicing Buddhism, they instead study Buddhism and use it as means to get into pedantic debates and winning them: "Not examining the meaning with wisdom, they do not gain a reflective acceptance of them. Instead they learn the Dhamma only for the sake of criticising others and for winning in debates, and they do not experience the good for the sake of which they learned the Dhamma." (MN 22)>mfw Buddhism realizes scholars still have traces of monkey brain in them, just not as much as normies>fastforward 2000+ years later>4chan, the Sangha of the modern world, most prolific free-speech website on Earth, normies rightfully kept out>scholars and intellectuals of /lit/ living in the informative era with access to all the greatest minds and philosophies, no fear of getting bashed in the head or witchhunted by normie anti-intellectuals like in the old days>still getting into 300+ bump limit debates about Buddhism instead of just sitting and practicing kek. At least Buddha is in Nibbana now so he can't roll in his grave.
>>25159482Its over.
I killed Buddha with my big fucking dick
>>25159482Let's face reality: no one that posts on 4chan will ever reach nirvana.
>>25159672Awakened beings are still humans like you and I, let alone people with potential but who aren't realizing it by following Buddha's path. The biggest obstacle between you and Buddhism is yourself. Everyone can walk the path.
He was a life denier, they're all the same
>>25159682>Awakened beings are still humans like you and I,Many sutras are clear this is not true.
>>25159672Fuck you, buddy! You dont know me.
>>25159482what's with his ears?

(SN 12.61)He was wrong There is deep sense of unity of self that underlies and transcends any experiences that it witness, showing there is an immaterial eternal self that is independent from experiences, the intellect or even consciousness, for it's always present, not subject to any states of matter, and if the Creator bothered Himself to create that immaterial eternal self, surely it wasn't to make it disappear after realising it's existence
>>25159810>not being awakening>saying what is awakened>saying a book says what awakened is>another hopeless christian>>25160479he's post hardcore
>>25159482>Nirvana or nibbana (Sanskrit: निर्वाण; IAST: nirvāṇa; Pali: nibbāna) is the extinguishing of the passions,[1] the "blowing out" or "quenching" of the activity of the grasping mind and its related suffering, stresses, and unease.[2Emunah and Bitachon are so superior to this nonsense, it's not even funny https://youtu.be/Na_QTmTkeRQ
>>25160503>pedantically debating just like buddha said you would>believing in your freedom>being horrifically trapped
Any belief system is puthujjana central, you gotta test the waters at least.
>>25160511>pedantically debating just like buddha said you wouldI'm not debating, I'm presenting the truthYou can see the actions of the God of Israel in the world if you look for them:https://youtu.be/A04yz1EwNZw?t=2724>believing in your freedomThere isn't a single instance in the Torah where God tells you to believe in Him, it's written for you to know God>9Know, therefore, that the Lord, your God He is God, the faithful God, Who keeps the covenant and loving kindness with those who love Him and keep His commandments to a thousand generations.>10And He repays those who hate Him, to their face, to cause them to perish; He will not delay the one who hates Him, but he will repay him to his face.>being horrifically trappedBuddhists trap themselves in Gehinom after they die for completely missing the point of what they're were alive in the first place
>>25160534>not debating>debates>isn't trapped>is unable to leave willinglyI can tell immediately that your heart is withered, and that you are no example of the true lifeTherefore anon, whatever you have told me is the truth that you follow, I likely will not heed your humble adviceBe free boy. Do not waste your time with your idea of me any longer
>>25159810The first two stages of awakening still have residual ill-will and lust. They're still "worldly".
is this a good summary?https://youtu.be/J0NyhYEID6Y
