I was just being edgy, but you should now, the Taliban does this because they hate idolatry it's not like there are any Buddhists in Afghanistan to protest it anyways.

I have mixed feelings about this honestly.
For one, I don't agree with harming another religion just because of your own.
But two, it goes directly against Islam, and it was in an Islamic country...

>American defending the taliban
>muh idolatry
An evangelical no doubt

>>79492090
I can see why madslims and christcucks gets butthurt over some sacral piece of wood or stone, but why those who call themselves buddhists? I mean it contradicts to the whole teaching of dharma and illusory reality.

>>79492250
I wasn't defending it, I was explaining it.

>>79492264
You still play by the rules while you're in Samasara, remember they also try to avoid extremes.

>>79492284
It didn't really come off as an explanation.

>>79492377
"Group X does Y because of Z" is an explanation. "It's okay that Group X does Y because of Z" is a defense.

I would legit die to defend this particular piece of stone and I'm an atheist.

>>79492377

This not what Poccияfag was talking about. He is saying that images and objects shouldn't be tainted with any emotions.

There are koans stating that some monks even achieved satori by breaking a statue of Buddha.

>and I'm an atheist.
How about this one? Also: repent anon

>>79492525
And yet Buddhists as a rule preserve their material culture, not every object need be a mandala. In order to folow the eight fold path one must start with right understanding for which cultivation is requisite. Such objects as have cultural or educational value must therefore be preserved, again, the middle path is to avoid extremes and you cannot go through life treating everything as impermanent, even if it is.

>>79492468
I don't blame you buddy

>>79492517
It's so beautiful in person I don't even have the words. I am also a non-believer, but I really appreciate it.

>>79492675
Magnificent, yes, preserving this is certainly worth more than an individual's life. Also God is gay.

>>79492788
It really is, I remain a cultural Catholic for the aesthetics alone

>>79492829

No, I do have some very basic Latin but that's from college, I was an altar boy as a kid but fortunately didn't do it long enough to get molested.

WTF I hate America now

>>79492264
A lot of Americans and Western Europeans were mad because it's destroying 1500 year old art and culture.

I don't know how actual buddhists felt though desu. There aren't many here and I don't know any
