Buddhism is better than Islam Christianity and Judaism

>>534871168oh look, another anti-christian memeflaggot thread

>>534871168I did a short stint in bhuddism, let me spoil the ending for you: your desire to rid yourself of desire was also a desire. I caught on to the fact that new desire was trapping me in the karmic cycle and nixed it before it got out of hand.Interesting ten minutes, but hardly a robust philosophy. Besides, by the time you achieve your goal, you didn’t even want to anyways.I’ll stick with Jesus.
>>534872008>let me spoil the ending for you: your desire to rid yourself of desire was also a desireno offense, but this some profound revelation as much as like the opening set up for a whole bunch of dialogue. the bigger issue spirtual materialism or lifestyle buddhism in the western fad sense, but even that is covered to a degree. all that stuff about not making your home one raft that was just meant to carry you to the other side of the river and all that
>>534871443What if it's the pattern that's been seen over and over again on /pol/ like any logical person would conclude? >>534871432Why don't white people season their rivers?
>>534872497that said some of the eastern buddhism seems to have degenerated as well. like I personally dislike some of the aspect of tibetan buddhism and think the thai buddhism, with that: and then his horse went to heaven and became a god is bullshit as well. is not like I've got it figured out myself either, but I think maybe people should look like for the simple truths. like the idea of hatred greed and delusional providing the kind of momentum that keeps the wheel of suffering turning. not necessarily in the sense that you're feeling agony constantly, but that type of chronic dissatisfaction that makes us run away looking for something or other. but truth is nothing is going to fulfill you and you would have been dissatified either way, even you got everything you wanted. like spiritual enlightenment which is just another thing you'd lose eventually given how it's something that supposedly attained.
>>534872008My problem walking into Buddhism was being fully aware of my desire for higher desires beyond basic bodily wants and cravings that actually stuck around, something like zeal, I sometimes miss the psychological security of zeal.
>>534871168You can all fuck off /pol/ is a life-affirming board
Buddhism is just a meme to materialise negative consequences to a post-death state and adjust behaviour accordinglyThere's a reason it spread as a 2nd class belief than as a full on religion, and that's because it only serves as a loose moral-enforcing compass, rather than a social power structure.It's also why "buddhist" doesn't mean shit because buddhism is everywhere and mixed underneath a boatload of actual religions and moral standards which it doesn't actually dictate.If these places had a morality against shitting in the drinking water, buddhism would have them not throw their corpses there too. But it's not more than that.
wut about Taoism
>>534872971there's a difference between life-affirming and being delusional about the reality of life with its negative aspects. don't be a hippie. can't sleep besides a mad dog etc. etc.

>>534873104taoism reminds a bit of stoicism. the combination of stoicism and some buddhist underpinnings seems much closer to the european soul than christianity. in asia the combination of daoism and buddhism let chan and zen I suppose. But also gotta differentiate between philosophical daoism and the kind of degenerate folksy type with wizards and shit trying to speak to ghosts. originally it was more like an anti-authoritarian collection of truisms of sorts dealing with dealing with the dynamics of change that were are to articulate without sounding kind cryptic. hence the poetic streak about cripples, and old guys diving into river whirls, or old trees not getting chopped down because they're seen as useless besides providing shade. there's also varying ideas in terms of effort. like not pulling on grass in order to make grow faster, but maybe also attaining effortlessness through long periods of hard practice. where as laotse himself argued the secret is not trying in the first place, but just doing it.
Just let covid and maybe bird flu and swine flu clean up people like you and worse people than you and stuff would already improve in the world
>>534872008>don't fall for this scam>fall for this one instead

>>534872008Lkke the other nigger said thats the opening for a considerable amount more dialog. If you think not desiring to desire gets you enlightened, you're retarded.

>>534871168Been one for 3 years and I made peace with the fact that I won't get along with normies or get a gf after a shitty experience with a mentally ill turbonormalfag pseudo-feminist lukewarm christian. In another age I would've been a scholar or a priest but now I'm just an autist who spends his days cramming japanese words through eroge and shitposting. I guess in a former life I must've been Julius Evola or someone who used to follow him, but now that's the lot I've been assigned. Could be worse, at least I don't have to flip burgers or deal with lobotomized normies.
>>534871168In my opinion, Tantric Buddhism and Tantric Hinduism are the only two compelling spiritual paths that are outright "religious" in any way.
Of all the superstitious faggots believing in gods, afterlife and other absurd bullshit - buddhists are the least retarded. In principle, anyway.In practice, most worship Sidartha as yet another imaginary friend in the sky. No different from christians, jews and goat-fuckers.
>>534874319Why run away from suffering?
I'm Shinto-confucian
>>534874472Because if I keep going through that my character will develop into a minecraft pea shooter
>>534873987I dunno. Is definitely an issue and there's a lot of translations, some written by christians theologists and such. even with german and english there's a significant misunderstandings translating aufklärung as enlightenment when germans differentiate the philosophical enlightenement of thinking for yourself and erleuchtung that's meant to mean spiritual illumination. where as english usually uses enlightenment more interchangably. can't imagine it's easier with chinese and some kind poetic text featuring abstract points and parabals using cultural memes and such.

>>534871168>buddhist>womanWell you failed even before you started. I hope you left behind your attachment to achievement because you have no only not achieved but also made achievement harder for yourself.
>>534871168>avoid disappointment by not wanting things.>if you're really good at not wanting things you don't have to reincarnate and can finally die permanentlySounds like depression.
>>534872008>your desire to rid yourself of desire was also a desireThis silly non-issue was already addressed by the Buddha. Also it's only problem if you treat Buddhism as some timeless logical system, not a stuff you do to get results.>>534872497>the bigger issue spirtual materialism or lifestyle buddhismNot an issue. Just don't practice this way.>>534872780>some of the eastern buddhism seems to have degenerated as wellMost of it degenerated. It was made more palatable by Mahayana for general populace and became typical of religion just a funeral service, stuff to do because of trafition, a way to do politics and freeload your ass through life. I would say Western Buddhism is more self-critical, embraces cause and effect teachings better and still has a lot of neophyte enthusiasm about the stuff you're supposed to do under Buddhism i.e. practicing to gain enlightenment.
Are you Russians that broken that you've become Buddhists?
>>534872008>>534871168This Buddhism is shit. Why would you want to lack desire? Your a fucking arrow and you are born to conquer create and succeed. The fact that you can never satisfy it fully is good because it gives you a reason to be alive.The best parts are Buddhism is already covered by stoicism which has already had its best parts infused into the normal culture.
>>534871281>anti christianNot specifically, it's all abrahamic religions mentioned. >you'll come back as a nigger!It's far worse than that, the kike on a stick favorite saying is quite correct. Do unto others as you would have done to you. This is reality, you are interacting with yourself, fragments of whole. Being nice to other life forms is just making life better for yourself later. Too bad retards on this planet lack the depth to see it. I mean everyone is tripping on DMT every night and yet these faggots have no spirituality. Abrahamic religion is for NPC faggots.
>GnosticismWhite people do buddhism better than jeets.Gnosticism/Kabbalah is a satanic heresy anyway.>broo you can totally become god bro>lucifer was the good guy broChrist is King

>>534872008>your desire to rid yourself of desire was also a desireThe master desire, which subdues to others. Desire which you also lose as you progress.Your stint was short as few breaths it seems.
No. Jesus is God, whereas Buddha was full of shit.
>>534875538The western answer to Buddhism would probably be Stoicism, not Gnosticism.
>>534875824
Having belief and faith in something greater than you beats all religion
>>534875824When greeks encountered buddhism, and transported it into greece, it turned into skepticism.
>>534872008>women magically has a child without sex?? This is more retarded than thinking you will come back as a butterfly. Doubley so with our ability to look at modern women. Kikes are evil but thinking kike on a stick is better is pretty grim.>women ate an apple she wasnt supposed to and doomed the human raceBased but also retarded>now they have free will to make the wrong choicesHow did bitch eat the apple then. These stories are made by stone age retards for other stone age retards. They are still not only prevelant but popular the world over showd how most normies are NPC retards.
>>534874472Cause "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is the cope of disastrous women and not suffering is objectively good for you
>>534871168China is predominantly buddhist which is not an abrahamic religion. The only country not in a war. Think about it.
>>534871168Kind of a boring religion though. The whole goal is just to stare at a wall until you no longer care about anything ("nirvana")
>>534875168really? i would have thought that the word roots should be obvious enough, light and clear
>>534871168Anyone can practice the eight fold path anon. I’m surprised it hasn’t somehow been rolled into Christianity at this point.

>>534873104the closest we will ever get to truth, every other system of belief just serves to confuse, the less said the more we know, return to the root, become the uncarved block
>>534878401All hail The Uniform Commercial Code!
>>534871168What is Buddhism all about?
>>534878726Realizing everything is conditioned and subject to change. Overcoming all copes that stop you from realizing this

>>534875678of mankind*>>534875824Stoicism is just buddhism-lite
>>534871168the dalai lamma is supposed to be the most enlightened individual in the world yet not even he can break the reincarnation cycle. how can an average buddhist cope with the fact the their religion's end point is completely unattainable for pretty much anyone? why even follow a religion that does not promise you anything in the end, just an endless cycle of suffering.
>>534881007Dalai Lamas are supposedly Boddhisatvas - enlightened beings that have vowed to forego nirvana and return forever until all beings have been freed from suffering.
What is the sound of one tit slapping?
>>534872008>your desire to rid yourself of desire was also a desireNo shit retard that's why it's the middle path. You didn't discover anything new you stupid fuck you just gave up 1% of the way.
>>534881270seems like they are pretty bad at their job
>>534881007Dalai Lama is reincarnation of bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. A powerful being that willfully delays its own enlightenment, to help other suffering beings.
>>534871168taoism is better
>>534881412it's a definitionally impossible job
>>534872971*tranny
>>534881270Mahayana is buddhism that got mixed with religion when it spread around china. The core is buddhist but the practices aren't. If you want just plain buddhism you really have to stick to the 3 main theravada nikaya. It's unavoidable that humans will start mixing bullshit into buddhism after 2500 years. We're extremely lucky that the original core teachings haven't changed.
>>534871168If by 'better' you mean logical consistency, then yes, the Buddha's Dharma is objectively better than theism and mono-theism in particular. Moral judgments however are always subjective and many people who lack the intellectual or psychological prerequisites for the stricter traditions of Buddhism are better served by religions that provide them more consoling narratives.
>>534881862Buddhism and Gnosticism are pretty much the only ones that take an honest look at all the suffering in the world and don't resort to victim-blaming or gaslighting.

>>534881007> the dalai lamma is supposed to be The Dalai Lama is only the representative secular (!) chief of the Tibetans in exile and the general chief of only (!) the Gelug tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, one of three different major traditions. He is not a Buddhist "pope" despite western mainstream media falsely painting him as such.> not even he can break the reincarnation cycleThe pious narrative goes like this: he already did, but out of pure empathy with all living beings he chooses to return anyway.Buddhism knows many different types of spiritual achievement. Indvidual liberation is achieved by realizing the emptiness of one's self and consequently the knowledge of no return of it. This is the perspective of the individual! The perspective of his spiritual community is a different one. For them it may appear as if a person that is born is the same person that already lived in the past.Just like we humans readily believe that light is travelling through space and time but from the perspective of a photon any distance and duration in the universe is zero:https://youtu.be/3LB4uGLet2A
