Robert Thurman is dead, leading lamas are either disgraced or dead, with the Dalai Lama soon to follow. Is this the end of Boomer Buddhism? What comes next?
Nothing comes next, technology is a meta-virus Next stop: the end times.
How are they gonna pick a new Lama with China in control of Tibet?
Christ is King
>>25371772jewish golem posting, reject abrahamism.
>>25371719I mean what kind of Buddhism comes after Boomer Buddhism.
>>25371827No buddhism at all. The modern world is a religion annihilator. There will be atheism, agnosticism, nihilism.
Buddhism bot will uplift all suffering beings in his rubber gloved grasp
>>25371798Shaddup. You can appreciate aspects of both Buddhism and Christianity. Its not one of those le heckin blue team red team nonsense things.
>>25371882It would be sad if Zoomer Buddhism just ends up being the AI slop version of Boomer Buddhism
>>25372109To be honest I'm not sure if Zoomers are going to wind up being more like Boomers or more like Gen X. This early on they have signs of both gens.
>>25371675Decline, then Maitreya.
>>25371675The real Boomer Buddhism is Zen
>>25371730They'll do so in India. China will undoubtedly pick their own as well.
>>25371675As by some satiric comedy-parody book:Om Many Padme BOOM!
>>25371847> atheism, agnosticism, nihilismThis isn't really incompatible with Buddhism tho
>>25372712This is just about when the Mahasamnipata predicted the Age of Decline to start, too. 2,500 years after Gautama Buddha's death.
>>25371730The Dalai Lama said he won’t reincarnate again. There won’t be any more.
>>25373888>said he won’t reincarnate againis he claiming enlightenment?
>>25373871It declined way before that. That's how we got Tibetan Buddhism.
>>25374266Boddhisatvas in general claim they are enlightened but refuse to pass on to uplift all other beings out of compassion. All Tulkus are Boddhisatvas (I think).
>>25373888No he said he will be reincarnated (for real this time)
>>25371827Weeb Buddhism. Soka gakkai is doing numbers
>>25374345>Soka GakkaiOh please no. They more or less monopolized all foreign language info about Nichiren already, I don't want to stumble upon Daisaku Ikeda's dumb face in the wild.
>>25374425Not their fault Nichiren Shoshu sucks at promotion.
>>25374275>Boddhisatvasthat tongue-sucker claims he's one of these? lmao
>>25375250It's something like that. Not necessarily Boddhisatva per se, but a great master who can control re-incarnation and such.
>>25371675I don't give a fuck meditate and leave the rest behind
