>>41151577No. Why?
>>41151577Buddhism isn’t even a religion it’s a way of thinking like stoicism. It’s pretty cringy when people treat it like a religion yeah.
>>41151577everyone can reach enlightenment.
>>41151577yes, same level of cringe i get when i see blacks being Christian.
>>41151577I'm a non asian that practice Taoism
>>41151577Yeah, but only because it's always some Westernized pseudo-Buddhism like Batchelor's "secular Buddhism" or New Agey "Zen". I have no problem with a Westerner who actually tries to follow Buddhism as practiced by actual Asian Buddhists
>>41151729>be christians>omg we need to go into every country on earth and be le missionaries>oh damn I forgot I'm racistBunch of clowns lmao
>>41151577Only when whites do it, the rest is fine. But white people are cringy in general
>>41151577Yes. Cringe streetshitter tier larp for browns.
>>41151577>you are defined by the place, time and conditions you were born intoNPC dogmatics.
Many people don't realize this but the Mahayana is the literal, actual 100% Truth of reality. I mean the capital T Truth I have studied every religion, looked into countless esoteric systems, and pondered every religious figure, and it simply returns to the Truth of the Mahayana Everytime.Everything is explain, everything.Abrahamism? Explained.The satanic elite? Explained.All forms of mystic experience? Explained.Ndes? Explained UFOs? Explained.Literally name me any subject and the Mahayana can explain it perfectly and accurately.Every other world view is like a puzzle with one side missing, but the Mahayana is a complete structure. A perfect understanding of reality, packaged with east Asian aesthetics.Namo Amitahba.
>>41151577I even cringe at asian Buddhism
>>41151771Traditional zen is unbelievablely based.true zazen/shikantaza is an S tier spiritual practice, and easily the most challenging form of meditation there is.
I only cringe at Abrahamics.
>>41151577no. just female porn stars with buddhist tats https://www.thecoli.com/threads/thai-porn-star-31-who-married-elderly-american-millionaire-after-turning-to-buddhism-gets-divorced.519130/
>>41151588Non asians are imune to suffering whats the point.
>>41154465Can you add me on discord and tell me about it thenAnon.
>>41151577Most non-Asians "practicing" Buddhism don't actually know anything about it and just wear it like a fashion accessory to make it seem like they're cultured.
>>41154552Most Abrahamics are oblivious, evil people with superficial, selective empathy that think going to church every Sunday gives them some sort of abstract currency they can accrue and redeem to act like a piece of shit in their day-to-day lives and still get into heaven when they die.
>>41154775Lynch is the good example of a westerners with an actual understanding of the eastern paths.Suit is not essential but studying them for any period of time will tell you that you need to dress nice if you wanna practice these things well A big part of Buddhism is never to disrupt or disturb the conservative aspects of the culture around you. You need to integrate yourself into the culture very well and stand out in it by being the best possible version of a human being.Zizek talks about this in a lecture on why Christianity is actually liberal and Buddhism incredibly conservative.
>>41154338More like a scam BY browns for dumbass women.
>>41151577Ya. It's incompatible with the European oversoul and probably comes from a sense of self rejection. Theosophy is the white people form of Buddhism because it incorporated the Faustian will to achieve rather than sit back and let the flow take you wherever.
>>41154465I'm genuinely curious to learn more. Can guide me?
>>41154465>Satanic elite? ExplainedExplain it then, What do they want? Why are they so disgusting an evil?
>>41151577I do not subscribe to Buddhism, with that being said I cringe when you think the Dharma can be constrained to one race or group. Let me know if I'm wrong but is attachment to temporary forms and outward appearance not against the doctrine of liberation the Buddha taught?
Buddha was Aryan.
Meditation is a scam.
>>41155289In what sense? The only reasoning you provide is your word.
>>41151577buddha was literally a scythian aryana wyatt maniykyk
>>41155033Many people don't realize this but the goal of Mahayana Buddhism, while yes being fundamentally. Enlightenment for all, on a smaller scale actually about the transformation of earth into a pure land itself. So their goal is quite simple, to prevent that. On one hand we have lower heavenly beings, heroes of mara existing in the upper part of the realm of desire, most people here would call them archons. This of course being the spiritual ones. For worldly, mostly this is done through a perversion of the Dharma. If you actually study what they're doing it becomes quite clear that while yes they oppose all religions, they basically act exactly like anti-buddhists. They operate a cult of the self and labels. (If you don't understand the idea of non-self a quick rundown is it isnt denying that any self exist, it's a tactic used to strip away ideas of what you latch yourself onto (this isn't perfect but is basically, read mn 22)). The rhetoric most placed by these people isn't just tranny or conservative. It's a cult of self label, their goal is to have you stuck to a set idea of your self and be unable to leave it. This is why their only plan seems to be to push base ideas and groups on people and force them to cling deeply to a 'side'. Do not realize yourself an infinite being not held within the matrix of idea-structures, latch onto a label and define yourself with it. It's a spitting proof of the power of anatta. As many people have stated, they place symbols and breadcrumbs to let you know of their plans because it is a way of reducing the karmic impact of what they do. These elites are so worried about karma that they risk their entire operations over it, that should be proof enough to anyone it is real. But karma as taught by the Buddha, karma in Hinduism doesn't function this way. The Buddhist understanding of a long term karma influenced only by intention of doer and reciever is clearly in the minds of these people.I have much more.
>>41155003Understand boddhicitta.Understand what Mahayana means (hint it's like Linux. It's the kernel, Buddhism is the operating system)Understand the idea of upaya or skillful meansUnderstand tathagatagharba doctrine, realizing it iself a form of skillful means.Read the lotus sutra. Realize the truth and throw off the chains.Finally look up from the finger and see the moon.
>>41151615Is it saying they preserved their views while simultaneously talking about how they were conquered and had these views inserted into their society?
>>41155443>tathagatagharbaSounds like the noise a woman makes when I push my cock into her throat.
I cringe when i see europeans practice jewish religion aka Christianity and claiming rabbi Jeshua is their God.
>>41155331One of the best things I've read. Namo Buddhaya and Namo Amitabha. Peace to all even the satanists and archons
>>41155331i know that they try to send their karma onto other people to suffer for them. bear their cross for them.
>>41155331but the elites seems to be obsessed with bible and they show everywhere their affilation with lucifer and demons. clearly they believe in abrahamic worldview.
>>41155520What you are seeing is certain western elite. Ofc these elites have abrahamic inspired worldviews, you're misunderstanding the point. its not about the worldview these people have, their goal is the destruction of the west which means the destruction of Christendom, so they take the labels of the enemies of it. But the world is larger than Christendom, just as Mahayana is larger than just buddhism. Their actions display an understanding of the dhamra, because the Dharma cannot be acted against. They scheme their spiders webs around it, leading people away from it and attempting to subvert the loopholes in human nature.Ofc in the west these people are interested in the destruction of Christianity, just like the first goal of the Chinese communists was to rip Buddhism out from the roots. This is simply a larger framework that the elites know about, you are getting caught in individual fronts of a greater war.
>>41155508An inversion of the boddhisattva
>>41151577what about white people into yoga(actual yoga) and hinduism
>>41155466What noise do you make when you realize that living solely for pleasure you have condemned yourself to a life of perpetual meaninglessness where with every "victory" you feel more and more empty inside this hedonistic lifestyle ending in you being alone?
>>41155647Most men in the west are going to wind up alone regardless. Might as well blow off some steam.
>>41151623yeah i just need to gain a bunch of weight so i have squinty eyes and a tiny super smoll pp. Then smoke pot 24/7 so i am always laughing.>hee hee I have smoll PP>and you stupid grass hoper>>41155647young grass hoper you are seething and coping. Calm down and re-collect yourself, you mess. You look like SHIT, kys.
>>41155289it's just about as scammy as gourmet white rice which is just brown rice with the outer shells peeled off. meaning, do you have to pay large sums of money to learn how to meditate? no. anybody who is a true meditation guru will tell you this. there are tons of free guides on transcendental meditation on youtube. it's not a cult lol, but some people feel its more beneficial to have a personal mentor, it feels more spiritual to do it in a traditional, group setting. there's an energy in the room that can't be replicated at these sessions when you're doing it in front of your TV or smartphone. plus, you know you got it right because your teacher certifies you did. and with that newfound confidence, you and your personal mantra can breathe easy and do it alone, anyplace, anytime
>>41151577>sit on a computer>motionless for hours at a time, staring at a single object>gesture your hands to discuss, teach, and learn>symbols flashing that aren't there convey meaningwe all practice buddhism and live in a buddhist fanfiction
>>41155973That's alot of emotionally charged words for someone who's saying I'm coping, we live in postmodern America, times are tough, on that note what's wrong with coping my friend? :)
>>41154465quick rundown please?
>>41155331Hi thank you for your insight. I also believe Mahayana is the Truth after realizing emptiness near psychosis. I thought so hard but in the end it was Emptiness. I want to know how Mahayana reveals the Abrahamic religions and God. I try to take refuge in the Buddha because I used to be Christian and the Christian spirits refuse to leave. I need a thought-form that allows me to Ignore the Holy Spirit, Jesus, and Father (the devil-king). Most recently I tried to say no sheep in the monastery but then I was like what about doves, and I heard a voice say "polytheist."That question is more important but could you also distinguish or make consistent Mahayana and Sufi with Allah?I saw the daughter of the Naga King in a dream and then she was like im gonna help you about the holy spirit then when I went outside to smoke it was infested with flies But he confused me because they looked like holy Spirit fliesPlease I am suffering thank you in advance
>>41151729>post is about asians>make it about black peopleBBC lives rent free in your head
>>41155508>i know that they try to send their karma onto other people to suffer for them. bear their cross for them.Sort of like your capitalist boss getting you to slave away for their profit. But if you do it willingly and lovingly despite realizing the situation, it converts into karmic freedom for you.
No. I actually believe Jesus himself was a Buddhist himself. I do cringe at non-asian people with Chinese/asian letters as tattoos tho
>>41159943yeah. you never see asians covered in nordic, celtic tats or even using gaelic script
>>41157621Oh dear there's multiple problems at work here.Mainly It seems to that you're way to fixated on this view of you somehow being against the abrahamic religions. It is true there are Christians spirits that don't like when people practice other religions, it shouldn't surprise you that dharmapalas exist in a chrstian context. They exist for individual schools of Buddhist so obviously they do for other religions. Buddhism has plenty as well, I met many of them last time I was in Japan, these spirits seem to belong to one region, The story of padmasambhava talks about just this. You gotta stop letting them influence you, their only goal is to convert you to their religion. It's why people go to the Middle East and suddenly say they're muslim, or India and suddenly say they're Hindu. Religion is the realm of spiritual domination, including Buddhism. Some.could just be run of the mill demons reveling in the chaos of your mind as well.Most importantly you labeled the Christian father God as 'devil-king'. Even if there is fundamental difference from the way the Christian god would be viewed in it, no Buddhist would ever say this. Mahabrahma is the being who asked Buddha to teach, the creator gods have always been on the side of Buddhism. You are not fighting God or a devil king, please get this through your head, you are fighting the projections of your own mind, created off the leaving of a religion that you still feel huge amounts of attachment towards. Understand Buddhism is the religion of the divine, all you neo-gnostics need to understand this, if your goal is a mad war against God, Buddhism is not your religion. Read 'cutting through spiritual materialism' by Chögyam Trungpa, he utterly shamed western Buddhists for using buddhism to run away from a higher power. Buddhism is a religion of surrender to what is, to the true divine. Put down your arms and cultivate the Brahmaviharas right now.om vajrapani hung PHAT
>>41160343It's like you perceived the universe with its brahama and maras and devas, and not only established it but antagonized against it. You sow the poison of adversity and so adversity is what you reap, I'm sorry to say this.Another example. It's like you have been staring at a finger pointing at the moon, and upon noticing another finger to the side of you, you cut off your original finger and stare at the new one in a desperate attempt to ignore the bleeding currently happening. The rest of your post is just useless information that you need to let go of, I'm sorry. Ultimately you have placed your own fears and insecurities onto the enlightened mind, which is more than happy to send back what you give it. Try prostrations. You need to crack the shell of ego clinging around yourself, it won't be a painless process.>Islam, Christianity, etcMonotheism is a nuclear option to make people stop attaching thoughts and energies into what is. Cut, cut, cut! Let wisdom slice through the madness surrounding you!
>>41151577No, literally everyone should be practicing Buddhism.
LOL
>>41160356It's more like I know God is a Demiurge and he's annoying me. I'm actually well versed in Abrahamic scripture and prophecy. I'm not worried I'm wrong, it's more like demonic possession. But there's no word for when an angel possesses you so I can't get them to go. I'm literally not worried I'm wrong. I think it's very uncritical of even sages to unequivocally give a nod to Jesus and say he's Vishnu. Yes I have Antichrist tendencies, I know a lot of Nietzsche, but Buddhism should be the Middle Way. In Islamic Monotheism the "Father" is a shaytan, the worst idol of your fathers. This is just my own spin on things but I don't think you could fault me for being spiritually clear. Allah doesn't bother me we just ignore each other. I know the personalities of every monotheistic God. The Father is a DIRTY GOBLIN BASTARD. He feigns love for you to make you suffer and increase his demonic dominion, the definition of the devil-king. I simply do not accept the Christian paradigm at all whatsoever, and I don't think we should say "look a thief who touches children, let's rejoice in their love for God." It's really not ego I'm asking about the angelic equivalent of demonic possession, for example today the Holy Spirit said he cursed me. God gives me tingling sensations in my hip and says please wrestle with me. He's too attached
>>41160475i have a feeling you will not believe me, but these 'monothestic gods' are the projection of your own mind. You are trapped in a matrix of your own creation. The diamond of the enlightened mind is a diamond because it exists perfect and unscratched within the mess of delusion and projection that forms the frightening images we see in samsara. You don't need a pointless battle against an entity outside yourself. You need to be cut out of the matrix you find yourself in. I understand this is hard to perceive but the world you percieve is a formation of the skahndas. It has not inherent existence within itself.Do green Tara practice, there is no 'angelic exorcism' you need, you need to be cut the fuck out of the delusions you live in.This is your karma. No one else created it.
>>41160618I'll add this one thing on.While there was some differences, I have lived in a world very similar to the one you have described. I reacted very similar to the way you are now, in fact it feels personal even reading your posts. If it wasn't for the boddhisattvas cutting me out of it I have no idea the depths of madness I would be in today. You asked me for advice and I'm giving it to you. Can you put any trust in letting go of what you think you have grasped? Clearly what you have is not working right now, you admit this as much. Ask the boddhisattvas for help and realize you have spent a decade yelling at a mirror. It's a humbling act, but I went though it, and i know you can to. I don't think I can offer any more advice than that to you this. If you choose to ignnore me that's ok, you will be held in Metta in my mind forever.
>>41160618Alright that one helped a lot, I will work on it. NB 1 minute after my post a Christian woman invited me to lunch with a priest. So it's very real. It's kind of like "Have you heard the Good News?" Except instead of knocking at the door they distract me from my practice. Because they already have a foothold. The reason this happened is because I didn't stop believing Jesus existed, but started saying he exists and is bad. So I guess I need to work out how that's a projection. Thank you
>>41160690Sir it helped a lot. I have an attachment to an Antichrist power to dispel Jesus, and that is the reason I get attacked. It's hard to give up all that power but I think I'll do it and be more objective. Thank you again
>>41160719>>41160707Sit in zazen posture and don't fucking move. Keep the back straight, the central channel open. Let the delusions arise and let them pass. For as long as it takes, and it won't be fast I'm sorry to say. To sit is to be the Buddha, letting the delusions of samsara pass by.Let the blockages painfully be removed. One by one. Love is the nature of reality, all pervasive and equanimous. Extending to every being that exists or ever could exist. Do not create blockages to it and good luck.It's your life and you define what your self is, no one else.
>>41151609Buddhism has a wide and deep cosmology, paired with rituals and ways of life tied to gods and otherplanetary beings. Just because all you have seen of buddhism is a white woman and a picture of the Dalai Lama does not mean there is more.
>>41160765I started to let go, but I want one final word. Yes, I said want. Just so you're aware, I have been sitting in zazen for a little bit of time, and I understand how to sit and no thoughts arise. My practice is pretty good and I know the sutras moderately well (Mahayana). But I fear this idea of love as a contamination. This is my dispute with the Holy Spirit. I read in a Sutra that love is the root of desire. I cannot find the quotation now. But I found this in the Nirvana Sutra>Now, love is like the case of a milking cow which, loving her own child, feels hunger and thirst, goes and seeks water-grass, and whether satisfied or not, suddenly turns back. The All-Buddha-World-Honoured One does not have such a mind. He sees all as equally as he sees Rahula.I wanted to escape this Christian paradigm but now the Bodhisattva comes to me preaching love. I feel it is very New Age and gets you credits with the masses to talk this way, even if your name is Rinpoche. Love is very passe The holy Spirit is very distracting but at least he gets to the heart of the matter. It sounds like love-attachment
>>41151615ok
>>41157664>sees black>starts thinking about cocklmao
Both Christianity and Buddhism seem to suffer people weak coming to these religions to project the self-superiority over others
>>41160920By love I mean Metta, karuna, etcYou're describing possessive love. Romantic. This is a problem with translation. Practice the Brahmaviharas to understand love.
>>41151577I only cringe at frogposts.
>>41160475Anon, you are showing psychotic or schizophrenic tendencies. The spiritually best thing you can do now, and I really do mean spiritually best, as a most effective exorcism is to see a mental health professional. No, I am not being condescending. Everything is spirit, so good mental health work is a good form of exorcism.
>>41161153So if I say to a therapist that 2 minutes I complained about the Demiurge distracting me a woman invited me to brunch with a priest, what would that person be likely to say? So maybe you should say the same thing. Don't be daft
>>41161206I can't figure out if the holy Spirit is metta or love-attachment. It's a deep Buddhist question. How is a therapist going to help. I'm not psychotic
>>41161216This just came up on my feed I'm not crazy it's so insulting
>>41151577No. People who larp as buddhists, are the worst, like they found the a way to end suffering but they use it as a fashion accessory.>>41160784Those are not gods that originated in Buddhism but adapted by it.
>>41161216I mean you have a deep misunderstanding of what the Christian Holy Spirit is even supposed to be, it’s not just a state of love, but it’s how the divine manifests itself through you
>>41161342Oh ok I guess I'm the one who is ignorant. I didn't realize the Holy Spirit had something to do with the divine. You're right you know much better. Now I understand that the Holy Spirit had something to do with the divine. And also he's not only Christian, he's the Ruah in Islam and Crowley believed in him very strongly.
>>41151577No. What do I care about someone else's religion?
>>41161364I'll humor you. Oh okay, the Divine. So the Eternal. That's the Tathagata. You're just using the word "Divine" to look fancy. So let's say the Tathagata is the divine. The root of the Dharmadatu. You're saying the Buddha is not self-sufficient and autonomous, and he requires a Holy Spirit to manifest himself? Please give me a break. I don't have time for insolence
I don't have much of a reaction to it. Buddhism isn't for me, but I can see why someone would be attracted to it regardless of race. It's a methodical and practical way of being with clear boundaries and goals. That being said, I personally was born too white, too tall, and too handsome for it.
>>41160765Isn't satori all about suddenly reaching nirvana?Like the story of the monk who meditated and studied for 30 years but wasn't able to advance until one day he stepped on a branch and the feeling of the crack under his foot triggered satori.
>he doesnt know a white guy invented zen Buddhism and taught the chinese karate
A little but not nearly as much as seeing Asians larping as Christians.
>>41162176>Throughout Buddhist art, Bodhidharma is depicted as an ill-tempered, large-nosed, profusely bearded, wide-eyed non-Chinese person.
>>41162187there is a whole ass period of Chinese history where a guy thought he was jesuses brother and it led to the death of like a bazillion peoplehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiping_Heavenly_Kingdom
>>41162187Christianism is an Asian religion tho.
>>41162224>whole asslol >Greatly Peaceful Heavenly KingdomFucking Kek >and it led to the death of like a bazillion peopleKekkerino xDBased religion of peace >>41162260Yeah I didn’t think that through desu. Isn’t the whole shtick something like being a fisherman or something?
It's more cringey if it's Hindu. Those old kinda gay sounding American gurus trying to chant Sanskrit with terrible pronunciation, yeah, that is the worst.
>>41160784Tibetan Buddhism is Buddhism for pagans the way Catholicism is Christianity for pagans. Basically retarded.
