Is Buddhism the endgame?
>>537705101I prefer Pooism
>>537705101It's called laying down and rotting bro
I respect Buddhism more than other religions Less silly supernatural claims. Craziest thing they believe in is that you can reach enlightenment
Buddhism is literally slave morality>Bro just escape from this plane of existence bro just don't have desires and leave it all behind it'll all work out I swear broWho tf cares what Buddhists think, they're literally opting out of any power game worth playing, good riddence
>>537705101Buddhism+Gnosticism. Escaping the Demiurge's Samsara and not feeding the Archons any loosh. I will starve and the hunger pains will not effect me. I will not consume other life and propagate this cycle built on the untold suffering of countless organisms before me.
Ummmmmmmm
Buddhism is more believable than Christianity.Meditation actually provides results that even doctors peddle as good for the mind rather than putting blind faith, hoping some cosmic faggot out in the universe will make the Jets win the Super Bowl.
>>537705101pretty damn close to it as a philosophy, minus the metaphysical stuff.>>537705241>Craziest thing they believe in is that you can reach enlightenmentFor me it's the concept of reincarnation. You're not coming back. You're not even here right now.

>>537708937That's actually the opposite of Buddha teaching.>The Buddha taught that tying your self-worth to external validation leads to suffering.
>>537709281it's not for validation, you don't do it for yourselfconsider being anonymousalso helping other is basically the only thing unequivocally good according to everyone in the world, so not sure what you're getting at. making it performative spoils it, like everything else
>>537709357>help a random stray dog>dog get hit by a car>watch as it die painfullyHelping others will make you attached to them, and Buddha teaches against attachment.
>>537709566>buddhism means just kill yourself lol. are you attached to your life or something??you are retarded, it's my badalso, consider that aiming to eliminate suffering is extremely gay, and also not the point of buddhist teaching. he only made observations about where a lot of that suffering came from, and pointed out which could be ameliorated.

>>537705101From what I've read of the Emerald Tablets, the ancient Egyptian religion was something that was taught to the Atlanteans by Thoth, who survived the cataclysm and decided the knowledge he bestowed on Atlantis with a lavish hand, would be better used as secret esoteric knowledge only the most intelligent men would be able to understand it. I prefer this than opting into whatever noseberg religion or whatever pooism that filtered through the rest of Asia. The Emerald Tablets comes off as a few supremely enlightened entities want to get more entities to be on their level with them. Like they just want some company. This makes sense to me at an instinctual level. Have any of you very high IQ people felt so lonely and feel suddenly revitalized when you encounter another intelligent man?
>>537705101No that would be taoism
>>537705306>gnosticismImagine being this close to escaping jewish influence and then falling right back into christcuckery. Look into platonism and hermeticism, they are the original un-cucked philosophies that gnosticism aped.

>>537705101buddhism ios for tired people who just wished it all would be over, nirvana is literally nothingness, there is njo heaven, no great promise, just nothing–china - romejapan - germaniabuddhism - christianity1/2“In my condemnation of Christianity I surely hope I do no injustice to a related religion with an even larger number of believers: I allude to Buddhism. Both are to be reckoned among the nihilistic religions—they are both décadence religions—but they are separated from each other in a very remarkable way. For the fact that he is able to compare them at all the critic of Christianity is indebted to the scholars of India.—Buddhism is a hundred times as realistic as Christianity—it is part of its living heritage that it is able to face problems objectively and coolly; it is the product of long centuries of philosophical speculation. The concept, “god,” was already disposed of before it appeared. Buddhism is the only genuinely positive religion to be encountered in history, and this applies even to its epistemology (which is a strict phenomenalism). It does not speak of a “struggle with sin,” but, yielding to reality, of the “struggle with suffering.” Sharply differentiating itself from Christianity, it puts the self-deception that lies in moral concepts behind it; it is, in my phrase, beyond good and evil.—The two physiological facts upon which it grounds itself and upon which it bestows its chief attention are: first, an excessive sensitiveness to sensation, which manifests itself as a refined susceptibility to pain, and secondly, an extraordinary spirituality, a too protracted concern with concepts and logical procedures, under the influence of which the instinct of personality has yielded to a notion of the “impersonal.” (—Both of these states will be familiar to a few of my readers, the objectivists, by experience, as they are to me).”
>>5377174672/2“These physiological states produced a depression, and Buddha tried to combat it by hygienic measures. Against it he prescribed a life in the open, a life of travel; moderation in eating and a careful selection of foods; caution in the use of intoxicants; the same caution in arousing any of the passions that foster a bilious habit and heat the blood; finally, no worry, either on one’s own account or on account of others. He encourages ideas that make for either quiet contentment or good cheer—he finds means to combat ideas of other sorts. He understands good, the state of goodness, as something which promotes health. Prayer is not included, and neither is asceticism. There is no categorical imperative nor any disciplines, even within the walls of a monastery (—it is always possible to leave—). These things would have been simply means of increasing the excessive sensitiveness above mentioned. For the same reason he does not advocate any conflict with unbelievers; his teaching is antagonistic to nothing so much as to revenge, aversion, ressentiment (—“enmity never brings an end to enmity”: the moving refrain of all Buddhism....) And in all this he was right, for it is precisely these passions which, in view of his main regiminal purpose, are unhealthful. The mental fatigue that he observes, already plainly displayed in too much “objectivity” (that is, in the individual’s loss of interest in himself, in loss of balance and of “egoism”), he combats by strong efforts to lead even the spiritual interests back to the ego. In Buddha’s teaching egoism is a duty. The “one thing needful,” the question “how can you be delivered from suffering,” regulates and determines the whole spiritual diet. (—Perhaps one will here recall that Athenian who also declared war upon pure “scientificality,” to wit, Socrates, who also elevated egoism to the estate of a morality).”The Antichrist, F. W. Nietzsche, 1888
>>537717503german original:1/2„Mit meiner Verurteilung des Christentums möchte ich kein Unrecht gegen eine verwandte Religion begangen haben, die der Zahl der Bekenner nach sogar überwiegt: gegen den Buddhismus. Beide gehören als nihilistische Religionen zusammen—sie sind décadence-Religionen—, beide sind von einander in der merkwürdigsten Weise getrennt. Dass man sie jetzt vergleichen kann, dafür ist der Kritiker des Christentums den indischen Gelehrten tief dankbar.— Der Buddhismus ist hundert Mal realistischer als das Christentum,—er hat die Erbschaft des objektiven und kühlen Probleme-Stellens im Leibe, er kommt nach einer Hunderte von Jahren dauernden philosophischen Bewegung; der Begriff "Gott" ist bereits abgetan, als er kommt. Der Buddhismus ist die einzige eigentlich positivistische Religion, die uns die Geschichte zeigt, auch noch in seiner Erkenntnistheorie (einem strengen Phänomenalismus—), er sagt nicht mehr "Kampf gegen die Sünde," sondern, ganz der Wirklichkeit das Recht gebend, "Kampf gegen das Leiden." Er hat—dies unterscheidet ihn tief vom Christentum—die Selbst-Betrügerei der Moral-Begriffe bereits hinter sich,—er steht, in meiner Sprache geredet, jenseits von Gut und Böse.— Die zwei physiologischen Tatsachen, auf denen er ruht und die er ins Auge fasst, sind: einmal eine übergrosse Reizbarkeit der Sensibilität, welche sich als raffinierte Schmerzfähigkeit ausdrückt, sodann eine Übergeistigung, ein allzulanges Leben in Begriffen und logischen Prozeduren, unter dem der Person-Instinkt zum Vorteil des "Unpersönlichen" Schaden genommen hat (—beides Zustände, die wenigstens einige meiner Leser, die "Objektiven," gleich mir selbst, aus Erfahrung kennen werden).“
>>5377175392/2„Auf Grund dieser physiologischen Bedingungen ist eine Depression entstanden: gegen diese geht Buddha hygienisch vor. Er wendet dagegen das Leben im Freien an, das Wanderleben; die Mässigung und die Wahl in der Kost; die Vorsicht gegen alle Spirituosa; die Vorsicht insgleichen gegen alle Affekte, die Galle machen, die das Blut erhitzen; keine Sorge, weder für sich, noch für andre. Er fordert Vorstellungen, die entweder Ruhe geben oder erheitern—er erfindet Mittel, die anderen sich abzugewöhnen. Er versteht die Güte, das Gütigsein als gesundheit-fördernd. Gebet ist ausgeschlossen, ebenso wie die Askese; kein kategorischer Imperativ, kein Zwang überhaupt, selbst nicht innerhalb der Klostergemeinschaft (—man kann wieder hinaus—). Das alles wären Mittel, um jene übergrosse Reizbarkeit zu verstärken. Eben darum fordert er auch keinen Kampf gegen Andersdenkende; seine Lehre wehrt sich gegen nichts mehr als gegen das Gefühl der Rache, der Abneigung, des ressentiment (—"nicht durch Feindschaft kommt Feindschaft zu Ende": der rührende Refrain des ganzen Buddhismus ...). Und das mit Recht: gerade diese Affekte wären vollkommen ungesund in Hinsicht auf die diätetische Hauptabsicht. Die geistige Ermüdung, die er vorfindet und die sich in einer allzu grossen "Objektivität" (das heisst Schwächung des Individual-Interesses, Verlust an Schwergewicht, an "Egoismus") ausdrückt, bekämpft [er] mit einer strengen Zurückführung auch der geistigsten Interessen auf die Person. In der Lehre Buddhas wird der Egoismus Pflicht: das "Eins ist not," das "wie kommst du vom Leiden los" reguliert und begrenzt die ganze geistige Diät (—man darf sich vielleicht an jenen Athener erinnern, der der reinen "Wissenschaftlichkeit" gleichfalls den Krieg machte, an Sokrates, der den Personal-Egoismus auch im Reich der Probleme zur Moral erhob).“Der Antichrist, F. W. Nietzsche, 1888

>>537719069By core of western tradition I assume you mean the Greek and not middle eastern jewish make-believe.>Pyrrho returned to Greece and founded Pyrrhonism, considered by modern scholars as the first Western school of skepticism. The Greek biographer Diogenes Laërtius explained that Pyrrho's equanimity and detachment from the world were acquired in India.>Pyrrho was directly influenced by Buddhism in developing his philosophy, which is based on Pyrrho's interpretation of the Buddhist three marks of existence.>Another of these philosophers, Onesicritus, a Cynic, is said by Strabo to have learnt in India the following precepts: "That nothing that happens to a man is bad or good, opinions being merely dreams. ... That the best philosophy [is] that which liberates the mind from [both] pleasure and grief". Cynicism, particularly the Cynic Peregrinus Proteus was further influenced by the tales of the gymnosophists, particularly the examples set by Kalanos, Dandamis, and Zarmanochegas.>The Cyrenaic philosopher Hegesias of Cyrene, from the city of Cyrene where Magas of Cyrene ruled, is thought by some to have been influenced by the teachings of Ashoka's Buddhist missionaries

Unless I'm mistaken in my understanding, then the buddhists idea of "heaven" is the atheist's idea of death. Why would anybody want to be or compelled to be buddhist? Any religion that doesn't have actual consequences baked into their doctrine for not following it can be entirely discarded, and that is aside from actually getting into their beliefs.
>>537705241Less silly supernatural claims?You lost the plot. A resurrection looks simple compared to all that eastern bullshit.
>>537705101More straightforward than Christcuckery...perhaps also slightly more demented somehow. I do incorporate most of the Noble Eightfold Path into my life, and do try as much as possible to progress through my days with as much joy and appreciation for the life experience as possible, while trying to help others do the same. There are many opinions in this thread opening my eyes to new insights, which I appreciate. I don't consider myself a devout Buddhist...my Nichiren neighbor wanted me to come to a meeting to do the namu myouhou renge kyou stuff and I politely declined. I believe in God, but I also believe that Heaven is more than just a place for believers in Jesus Christ...because God makes judgments outside the conception of mortals
