any schools of buddhism that believe in the self?
>>39142931The ultimate pursuit of Buddhism is to discard self. The further along you progress toward these ends, the more you end up in universal flow. Full acceptance of death, as well as the physical process of it, epitomizes the discard of self. When an organism is conscious, it consumes and propagates itself to the exclusion of other life. All organisms are inherently selfish, and thus possess quality of ego. Only via death is ego discarded.
>>39143315what about the mahaparanirvana sutra and the thathagathagarbha?
officialy? none. If you really want a self settle for vedanta (buddhism + god and a soul = vedanta anyways) or be content with buddha nature (thathagathagarbha) in mahayana.
>>39142931Not Buddhism but related https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SamkhyaPurusa = eternal witness
>>39142931How about the original complete teaching? Buddhism is just atheism for hippiesFollow the path of devotion. Wether you like Krsna or Shiva it doesnt matter. But devote yourself to your Worshippable Superior
>>39144153https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purusha
>>39144155i do believe in deities but i put the soul as a self-sufficient individual being. worship must be a two people thing without the dependence of any of both servers to each other
>>39144132the thing with (thathagathagarbha) is that somehow though efforts of denying, when it comes to practical levels, is the same as the (self) but in a supramundane active way. that's why semantics is so important
>>39142931Bump. /x/ is 99% bots retardposting now. Almost impossible to find a human. Why do jews want to disrupt paranormal discussion? I thought they wanted everyone to be mass awakened through tikkun olam so God returns.
>>39145800Apparently they activily work to detrail threads (if this pic is true), for what reason i do not know.
>>39145886Why would they target /x/ and not say: /pol/? And whats the point? To mess with schizos for no reason or purpose? At least with /pol/ you can influence the far right, with /x/ all youre gonna influence is maybr a dozen pagans and new agers living with thier mom, It makes no sense.
>>39145944Yeah. So are the pro-samsara forces stronger than the jews on this planet or what? Since tikkun olam is about making all humans evil so that God returns and frees us all. Why would they simultaneously oppose people trying to awaken independently by trying to mind control them into becoming golem zombies?
