>>84750914I reject it on the principles of the axioms of Western logic. If there is no self, then who is it saying that there is no self? Therefore, thought implies existence.

>>84750979>person who formulated that thoughtIf a thought is formed, must it be formed by something else, or can thoughts be existent without an observer? "If a tree falls," then it must have an observer to be heard.

>>84750914why does being depressed warrant joining a religion? why not be smart enough to develop your own moral compass? why not figure out your emotions and solve your problems intellectually instead of adopting some backwards spiritual scam?
>>84750914no-self is the simplest thing, at least when you realize it. no wanting, no craving, no suffering; only being, and only the benefits of being.>>84750955thoughts are a product of the conscious, which is preceded by the subconscious, the latter being far more vast and fundamental. you're identifying yourself as the output of the source, rather than the source itself.>>84753155buddhism is more of a philosophy than a religion. you don't have to become a monk, just find refuge in the three jewels of buddhism and that's it, you can call yourself a buddhist>why not be smart enough to develop your own moral compass?that's buddhism in a nutshell. the noble eightfold path is more a set of guidelines than actual rules. pic very much rel
>>84753299>you're identifying yourself as the output of the source, rather than the source itself.No, I didn't. I essentially said that an output implies a source. Thoughts imply a thinker. Cogito ergo sum: I think, therefore I must exist, though the only one to whom I can prove that is myself and God.
>>84753656i think, therefore i must exist, therefore my pleasures and pains must exist. yet they only exist in qualia. what you are and how you exist is not set in stone, your perception of how you exist is only that: your perception, nothing more, nothing less. distill your awareness to pure perception, let everything rise and fall: what can you perceive when perception is all there is? therein is the crux of no-self.
