What do you think of that fact?Can westoids like us really become Buddhists? I want less anxiety in my daily life, should i look into it?Also its the only religion without a God. Interesting fact.
>>526012045I dont know. I am 135 and I also find it valid. I am trying my best, but I must go be a monk coz its crazy here with normies.
>>526012045>What do you think of that fact?Buddhism went everywhere, and didn't do it via armies.>Can westoids like us really become Buddhists?The Dharma is for all sentient beings, with no exception.>I want less anxiety in my daily life, should i look into it?Yes. Though, the simple reality is, it's not about chilling and feeling all happy. It's about transcendental knowledge and the nature of reality and the mind. Ultimately the goal is to put you beyond anxiety, forever. >Also its the only religion without a God. Interesting fact.I found many things about it very interesting.

>>526012045Why would you need any religion in your life? Do you need external validation for your beliefs?

>>526012045The IQ system doesn't even accurately measure intelligence. Exactly how many human achievements happened in East Asia compared to Europe?
>>526012820I personally think religions can be good "guides to life". Depending on the religion tho. Fuck Judaism.
>>526012045Seek truth/God with a pure heart my friend and things will turn out OK. That being said they may have high IQ's but they do not rule the world or live in nearly the highest conditions so to some degree it's a superficial argument.
>>526012843Fuck that nepotist old pussy
>>526012045Buddhism is the same as all of the global world religions, designed to make it's followers docile to power. It's not The Truth nor is it super mystical or esoteric, it just has foreign, exotic, imagery you find enticing.
>>526012045Asians also torture animals and eat them alive because they think it makes them taste better. They also believe "heat" is a body part that needs to be kept in normal levels by eating human fetuses, human organs or grinded dust of animals in the brink of extinction (brought to by chinese who pay poachers to hunt them) and that boiled water is actually bad for you because it removes chi from the water. I have not made anything up.
>>526012929Guns and compasses are from east Asia.
I already converted to Buddhism. It has improved my life. I recently started going to temple in Kopavogur.>>526012740Gypsyjeet lol

>>526013673You fucked up, you are reincarnating as Indian. Only Christians reincarnate as white.
>>526012045Did you even look at the actual distribution of Buddhism? Nevermind that's a streetshitter religion, yet they're majority hindoo.
>>526013723Buddhist countries primarily follow Theravada (Southeast Asia like Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Sri Lanka)Or Mahayana/East Asian Buddhism (China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, with Zen, Pure Land, etc.)While the Himalayan/Tibetan branch (Vajrayana, the weird one, the Dalai Lama one) dominates Bhutan, Mongolia, and Tibetan regions.

>>526012045Yes I agree. Abrahamism is an evil cult
>>526012406> Also its the only religion without a God. Interesting factRetards read stuff like this and assume it means Buddhists believe in no God or nothing at all, which couldn’t be further from the truth. The Dharma is mind, the force that drives all forward. The position of Buddhism is simply that all attempts to ascribe anthropomorphic attributes(i.e. a name, a gender, other ideas) to the Dharma are inherently man made and thus wrong. Stop believing in stories that don’t exist and believe in what you can reliably witness, say in and out, for the entirety of your life.

>>526012502>>526012502Watch videos by Ajahn Sona, Thannisaro Bhikkhu, Ajahn Achalo, etc. Focus on the Four Noble Truths and the Eight Fold Path and most importantly start a consistent daily meditation practice. The reason why Buddhism is the closet to reality is because meditation is deeply rooted within it. If other religions started doing this they would come to similar conclusions but unfortunately they don't have much to stand on without a cultivation of knowing through wisdom so they just squabble about concepts and unimportant things. >>526013446Still have not seen a proper critique of Buddhism on pol that doesn't just boil down to complete ignorance. >>526012045Buddhism know that hells, ghosts, heavens and gods exist, the problem the other religions make is assuming they are eternal when in reality they are natural just like our world and thus impermanent.
>>526012045Slave religion created to prevent jeet uprisings by making them all passive and preventing them from participating in society. Acted as a safeguard for when jeets didn't believe in the shit the indo-aryans created to enslave them.
>>526015617Well, funerals are pretty common, but beyond that the Buddha might as well be Santa Claus. At best their Buddhism is totally corrupted.And that's a good thing. The Buddha doesn't belong into Shinto religion.

>>526012820Buddhism to me was always about conquering hedonic treadmill and dispelling other faults of the mind
>>526015708Jesus actually has quite a few things in common with the Buddha, and they both were alright in what they originally taught back in their day. The problem is more along the lines of what people added later or how they interpreted it.
>>526015863lol, shinto is a meme too. Japan is a predominantly atheistic country.
>>526012045I think Buddhists are do-nothing good goys.
>>526016057Trying to escape suffering is foolish, because it's an unavoidable component of existence. Existence without suffering is nonexistence, and the Buddha does in fact illustrate this to a degree, people just jumped the gun on it.But of course it's also context dependent: imagine the suffering of being an Indian in India. Would only be natural to prefer nonexistence.
>>526016072Based and truthpilled. Jesus’ message was actually far closer to Gnosticism, which is why the empire had to snuff it out, and the chiurch made sure it was finished off.
>>526016236Well Buddhism itself is pretty much atheistic. There's no immortal or awfully powerful gods in Buddhism - the strongest guy ultimately is the Buddha himself, and he's no god either.And kami aren't really gods either, more like spirits. They're not moral authorities, immortal, especially powerful or anything.
Makes me wonder if gnosticism was inspired by buddhism somehow, because they share a lot of ideas.Gnosis and enlightenment essentially are the same thing.
>>526012045>Asians are the people with the highest IQs80 or below on average seems high to you, Patel? Do you really need a pat on the head since you can't fix your own shithole country?
>>526012045>he still hasn't noticed that Buddhism isn't actually religion
>>526012045>Asians are the people with the highest IQs on earth and they chose BuddhismHeres the problem Miguel, for a high IQ group, they are also the most superstitious. I mean lucky 7's unlucky this, its orders of magnitude more prevalent than Europeans. In fact, they have an entire Wiki page devoted to this. And you know its bad if Wikipedia admits their belief is rooted in ancient lore. So meh, the fact they chose Buddhism doesnt account for much at all.
>>526012045>he bought the azn iq meme
>>526015950>pushed them backI really don't think you understand how disgust works. You should go back to india.
>>526016347Exactly. One doesn’t see Buddhists getting used for kike schemes. They’re wisely keeping a level head and watching out for the tricks the demons of this world try to trap them with. And they won’t listen to sob stories about how jews are special, chosen or unfairly picked on, either.
>>526015857Pure Buddhism is almost the opposite of Christianity>all thing is impermanent vs eternal truth
>>526016370>muh sufferingThe method of escaping "suffering" is to stop engaging in self harm. Pain is not "suffering." Waking up groggy is not "suffering." Stubbing your fucking toe is not "suffering."
>>526017517Because “eternal truth” can’t possibly exist in a finite world of constant change. It is by definition outside of that, nigger.
>>526017627God is the eternal Truth. Buddha is a mortal.
>>526017579You are right. Dukkha translates to something like “Dissatisfaction” in English much better than it does “suffering”.
>>526017579suffering isn't necessarily meant in the agony sense but also in terms of dissatisfaction. don't need to suffer when feeling pain, suffering is like being a bitch complaining all day. bitch state of mind. stop being a bitch.
>>526017703>God Is what exactly beyond the eternal truth?
>>526012045Buddhism is a nihilistic religion - literally its stated goal is to end consciousness completely
>>526017757That only serves to make it MORE clear that it is self induced.
>>526017903> literally its stated goal is to end consciousness completelyThe Dharma is a manifestation of consciousness. How could Buddha’s mission of teaching the Dharma be to extinguish it? It sounds like everything you know about Buddhism has been learned from disingenuous Abrahamic detractors.
>>526012045Through atheism, I have decided to worship Ra. Everything we know of today originates from Ra.
>>526017903don't think that's true at all.
>>526017903Nirvana is the ultimate state of peacefulness, not necessary the death of consciousness.
>>526017923Which is why we ought to be using terminology like dissatisfaction as opposed to suffering. Buddhism has incredibly advanced philosophy and theology. It got translated somewhat poorly into the western consciousness.
>>526012740Allah is a faggot and Mohammad was his butt boy :)
>>526013494Notice how the chinks invented gunpowder and did nothing meaningful with it while Europeans conquered three continents with it. Not to mention that all modern guns use an entirely different gunpowder called white powder which was invented by a frenchman. Compasses are obsolete.
>>526018306>compasses are obsoleteNo they fucking AREN'T.
>>526012045>Can westoids like us really become Buddhists?sort of, it is kind of ridiculous for fat Americans to put on black robes and do the bowing and Sanskrit chants, but Suzuki roshi seemed to be ok with it
I must admit. Most people will benefit more from learning Buddhism, than learning Christianity. Because most of you are midwits, and not a super genius giga-chad like me.
>>526018697>narcissist 95 hands typed this post
>>526018795I have already attained the state of Ultra Instinct. Buddhism is worthless to me now.
>>526017903More than that it's suicidal and not the temporary kind of suicide.
>>526012045Buddhism and Confucianism are for the goyim masses. Taoism is for true sages.
Buddism is kinda weird cause in it's simplest terms it's basically saying fuck everything because without needs for pleasure then there is no suffering. In modern terms that just means you are a pussy bitch and simply seek the most extreme from of escapism by shutting yourself out of society to be a hermit. Kinda selfish honestly.
>>526012045Highest IQ, fall for Indian spirituality. Pick one.
>>526020218India is not a buddhist country but a filthy hindu one. Polytheist degenerates
>>526017903What is consciousness and what is the end of consciousness?
>>526019989They are just dealing with the meta directly. Christianity pretends it doesn't exist.
>>526015857>Still have not seen a proper critique of Buddhism on pol that doesn't just boil down to complete ignorance.You can like some of the ideas. Like suffering being a part of life, but it requires you believe in all this nonsense depending on each branch. Like Buddhamind and these long lineages of ascended buddhas and shit. Like, Tibetans actually think the Dali Lama is the 7th reincarnation of the same enlighted dude (number might be wrong, but who cares). >inb4 I'm straight TheravadaThose guys are retarded too. They lionize being beggars and have all these nonsense rules and monasticism. >inb4 I like Buddhism minus the religious stuffThen you're on the same team is globohomo with amazon(tm) mindfulness pods.
I see some people still don't get Buddhism's end game is quite similar to Christianism: Sin the least you can, atone, until you are act with little sinning as possible to not damage people, learn how to be decent.Christians "try" to act according to a set of rules which is hard as nails to pull due to human nature, but still possible, for the goal to ascend at the end of our run. Buddhists think a lot of different stuff but the one we know of most is do nothing, meditate, try to pass by without doing damage until the end of our run, for the goal to ascend.The real redpill for both religions, as normal civilians most of us i presume are, is that being a monk is the purest form to live life like the scriptures say, the "Easy" way without being tempted by normal life shit.
>>526016696The concept of Bodhisattva is the one in charge of moral authority and harmony. It's found in the heart. Perhaps in the literal organic vessel. Perhaps not. You can see where the interest for the human body and vital energy comes from. Then again spiritual matters are vague. We participate in life without knowing what anything is.
>>526012820>Do you need external validation for your beliefs?Yes. You're no different.

Protestant reduced Christianity to>Just do whatever you want, and all you need to do is have faith in Jesus.It's not wrong perse, but that's the reason why American are fat and have mutilated their baby penis with a smile.They can't even understand the concept of Karma; Actions and onsequences.
And the Jews just cry anti-semite whenever someone want to bring them to Judgement.
>>526022737The monk like is for people who see pointlessness in the rat race, and society. What's the point of chasing those thing when it all will lead to suffering?
>>526013673>GypsyjeetThat means I know wtf I am talking about unlike you.

>>526016370>Existence without suffering is nonexistence,You're a retarded masochist.Existence without suffering is balance and bliss. As it supposed to be. Suffering is a warning, a red flag, a blinking LED in your dashboard. You / somebody did something wrong caused a problem and you need to get on it and fix it. If you can't you ask God for guidance but only after you tried. Jesus, no wonder you lost both your empires and woeld wars. Westoids especially dumbfuck germanics can not into logic and philosophy.
