Created by a boy in a bubble, son of a rich man who went scurrying off into the woods to become a cutter when he first learned about sickness, old age, and death (at age 29!). The root of Buddhism is avoidance of suffering, not the seeking of truth. A life lived in accord with truth will sometimes move you *toward* suffering and it will invite you to bear difficult, painful burdens. Buddhism moves away from all of this. Buddhism also discourages inquiry along the lines of "know thyself" because such questions are 'unwise reflection' and lead to 'self-attachments'. Buddhism is fundamentally about avoiding life because 'life is suffering'. It's a childish view of suffering and it fails to recognize that experiences of suffering often contain positive value if one endures and survives the experience.

The naive view of Buddhism (meditate, know yourself better, etc) is probably more beneficial to you than seriously studying and learning the four, the five, the three, the six, the ten, the twelve, the two, the seven, the eleven, the fourteen, the twenty, the twenty-five, the eight, the nine, etc...

>>128286832
Understandable. I actually agree with gaining insight to personal truth by making relative comparisons to the truths of others. From what I've encountered of Buddhism so far is like what you would encounter with any other religous practice, differing groups of people with different interpretations of the originators intended message condemning others interpretation because it doesnt align with what they believe; e.g Theravadan, Mahayana, Zen and possibly even Taoism (if it isnt Buddhist it definitely compliments with Zen Buddhism well, as does Stoicism.)

But their levels of hell are pretty metal.

Arbuda (頞部陀), the "blister" Naraka, is a dark, frozen plain surrounded by icy mountains and continually swept by blizzards. Inhabitants of this world arise fully grown and abide lifelong naked and alone, while the cold raises blisters upon their bodies. The length of life in this Naraka is said to be the time it would take to empty a barrel of sesame seeds if one only took out a single seed every hundred years.

Nirarbuda (刺部陀), the "burst blister" Naraka, is even colder than Arbuda. There, the blisters burst open, leaving the beings' bodies covered with frozen blood and pus.

Sañjīva, the "reviving" Naraka, has ground made of hot iron heated by an immense fire. Beings in this Naraka appear fully grown, already in a state of fear and misery. As soon as the being begins to fear being harmed by others, their fellows appear and attack each other with iron claws and hell guards appear and attack the being with fiery weapons. As soon as the being experiences an unconsciousness like death, they are suddenly restored to full health and the attacks begin again. Other tortures experienced in this Naraka include: having molten metal dropped upon them, being sliced into pieces, and suffering from the heat of the iron ground.[5] Life in this Naraka is 1.62×1012 years long.[6] It is said to be 1,000 yojanas beneath Jambudvīpa and 10,000 yojanas in each direction (a yojana being 7 miles, or 11 kilometres).

Kālasūtra, the "black thread" Naraka, includes the torments of Sañjīva. In addition, black lines are drawn upon the body, which hell guards use as guides to cut the beings with fiery saws and sharp axes. Life in this Naraka is 1.296×1013 years long.

I'm Zen, and I just go from the perspective that we started from nothing, and the nothing is still there.

As far as man, we have artificial barriers that have been constructed over the years which stop us from cooperating in many ways. Religion, race, gender, disability, etc.

I just always try to see the undercurrent of nothingness and realize that if you have two people and nothing else, no constructs or barriers, you're probably going to be successful in bridging some kind of gap that others might not.

Its not necessarily the avoidance of suffering, but rather the acceptance of the conditions in which you suffer rather than adding suffering to suffering by allowing yourself to be victim to that of which you suffer from.
The concept of no-self is so drenched in mysticism that trying to grasp at it will only dilude the teachings. Know yourself by observing yourself in action and in doing so self (egocentric perceptions) "disappears".
Following the teachings verbatim is a arduous task reserved only for those SEEKING enlightenment, whereas enlightenment is something in which you realize within each present moment by being completely immersed in the present moment, not holding onto expectations of the future or comparing/contrasting the present to the past, just contentedly allowing present to arise from the uncertainty of future events into the concrete happenings of past.

I believe there is some truth to this. Herbert Benson of Harvard U found some interesting things while looking for commonalities in meditation and religious prayer. The meditation or prayer activates the parasympathetic nervous system to calm you through repetition of words, or movements, or focusing on breathing. One interesting point he mentions is not only does this relax you, it also makes people more open and susceptible to suggestion. Give that a thought. He said the meditation was great for the body and mind, but when you read between the lines he is expressing a caveat about the set and setting in which you do it. I found this super interesting.

>The concept of no-self is so drenched in mysticism that trying to grasp at it will only dilude the teachings.
The no-self thing was an epistemological error made by a man who didn't realize that it's not possible to establish the truth of a general existential negative claim. That the ultimate subject of all subjects does not appear as an object in the field of experience does not allow one to conclude that there is no subject.

For the sake of educating others whose basis of comparison is solely that of material references its not a bad place to start. To transmute into nirvana much like Ben Kenobi did with the force by being struck down by Vader is a long stretch. As the teachings were passed down and intermingled with the local religious practices it likely got lost in translation over the ages. Its best discribed as entrophy of the conscious awareness and simply "being/doing".

I'm gonna try (and fail) to explain some basic ideas about the Buddhist worldview and maybe people can think about it, or correct me:

*There is no self. Everything in the world is constantly in flux, and you change with it. Permanence is an illusion, the idea that you are somehow separate from the world around you is an illusion. Things that you think 'you' have control over (your thoughts right this second, for example), are really spontaneous and unbidden.

*There is no past, there is no future. There is only RIGHT NOW.

*The root of suffering is attachment. Liberation from suffering is severing the bonds of attachment. When you empty yourself of attachments, you find love and serenity.

Close anon, I will explain it like this Buddhism is about RED PILLING REALITY. It is abpout stripping away the illusions that we think are reality because we do not see the world correctly.

Buddhism is about practicing mindfulness every second. Acting rather than reacting stripping away conditioning so that everything you do is a conscious choice not just reactionary.

This is why Buddha is called Buddha it means enlightened or awake. Most sheeple are asleep they are not making conscious decisions they are simply like lizards reacting to stimuli.

Buddhism is the ULTIMATE RED PILL literally once you read the dhammapda you it will change your life instantly.

Bascially imagine a dude is born and he is like I am going to dedicate my life to finding out the best way to do everything in life. As a scientist he does thought experiments day and night like Einstein then writes a manual like a cake recipe for life to tell you the very best way you can do anything literally. Like an index you can look and see how is the best way to feel about this? How is the best way to do this?

I like the way you put it. You also brought up something I think is very important re: Buddha as Einstein.

It seems to me that at the very foundation of Buddhism are its techniques. Vipassana and mindfulness work, and the core of Buddhism is a hypothesis about -why- they work and an explanation of those causes.

This is way different from Abrahamic religions. That's not to disrespect them in any way, but to say that Buddhism is a very different animal. I think that's part of why people have trouble getting to grips with it.

Prophesied events during a Kali Yuga

A discourse by Markandeya in the Mahabharata identifies some of the attributes of Kali Yuga. In relation to rulers, it lists:

Rulers will become unreasonable: they will (((levy))) taxes unfairly.
Rulers will no longer see it as their duty to promote spirituality, or to protect their subjects: they will become a danger to the world.
People will start migrating, seeking countries where wheat and barley form the staple food source.
"At the end of Kali-yuga, when there exist no topics on the subject of God, even at the residences of so-called saints and respectable gentlemen of the three higher varnas [guna or temperament] and when nothing is known of the techniques of sacrifice, even by word, at that time the Lord will appear as the supreme chastiser." (Srimad-Bhagavatam (2.7)

With regard to human relationships, Markandeya's discourse says:

Avarice and wrath will be common. Humans will openly display animosity towards each other. Ignorance of dharma will occur.
People will have thoughts of murder with no justification and will see nothing wrong in that.
Lust will be viewed as socially acceptable and sexual intercourse will be seen as the central requirement of life.
Sin will increase exponentially, while virtue will fade and cease to flourish.
People will take vows and break them soon after.

While I'll see that others will give you a "good Buddhist answer" I'm here to say fuck you -

Its evident you are choosing the facet from which to see the idea from , and don't have a bigger picture because you simply don't read.

Buddhism is SYLLOGISTIC and uses deductive reasoning. You have to read through, or parts at a time for the meaning to arise.

Rebirth is a mundane teaching for faith and morality for example. It encourages sila, the essential first stage of the practice -- while Not-self is a super-mundane teaching for relinquishment. It leads to Nibbana

Hinduism is to Buddhism what Judaism is to Christianity.

Some sects of Mahayana Buddhism are to Theravada Buddhism what Islam is to Christianity.

Not a perfect analogy, but there are good parallels. Judaism is steeped in Jewish culture; Christianity took the fundamentals and packaged them for export.

>What is Hinduism?

Hinduism is the oldest organized religion in the world. It is the Sanatana Dharma, the Eternal Law. It has no known origin and no founders - it is a synthesis of various Indian cultures and practices from as early as 4000 BCE.

Hinduism differs from Christianity and other Abrahamic religions in that it does not have:

>A single founder,
>A specific theological system,
>A single concept of deity,
>A single holy text,
>A single system of morality,
>A central religious authority,
>The concept of a prophet.

Hinduism is neither polytheistic, monotheistic, trinitarian or henotheistic, yet it is all at the same time.

The development of Hinduism was influenced by many invasions over thousands of years. The major influences occurred when nomadic "Aryan" Indo-European tribes invaded Northern India from the steppes of Russia and Central Asia. They brought with them their religion of Vedism. These beliefs mingled with the more advanced, indigenous Indian native beliefs, often called the "Indus valley culture."

Okay, that makes sense. It sounds like it has a great history that I need to read up on. I didn't know there were multiple cultures that influenced it.

But if you were to sum it up in a few sentences, what would it be?

Christians might point to the 10 Commandments as their main thing, my Muslim friends might say it's the shahada. What would the theme be in Hinduism?

"Bhikkhus, you who know thus and see thus, would your mind run to the past: 'Was I in the past or was I not in the past? What was I in the past? How was I in the past? Having been what, what did I become?'" "No, venerable sir." "Bhikkhus, would you who know and see thus, run to the future: 'Will I be in the future, or will I not be in the future? What will I be in the future? How will I be in the future? Having been what, what will I become?'" "No, venerable sir." "Bhikkhus, would you who know and see thus have doubts about the present: 'Am I, or am I not? What am I? How am I? Where did this being come from? Where will it go?'" "No, venerable sir."

Good, Bhikkhus! You say this and I also say it. Thus when this is present, that happens. When this arises, that arise. That is, because of ignorance, [volitional] formations arise. Because of [volitional] formations, consciousness arises. Because of consciousness, name and form arise. Because of name and form, the sixfold sense base arises. Because of the sixfold sense base, contact arises. Because of contact, feelings arise. Because of feelings, craving arises. Because of craving, clinging arises. Because of clinging, becoming arises. Because of becoming, birth arises. Because of birth, old age, sickness, death, grief, lament, unpleasantness, displeasure and distress arise. Thus arises the complete mass of dukkha.

It doesn't matter how based and pure your way of life is. This kind of life philosophy only works in an ideal world where everyone plays by the same rules.

It surely seems to evaluate whatever source you push to give an ancestral group a higher standing (Nazis did it with atlantis thulebullshit, Mormons made moundbuilders into hebrew american kangs who contacted god) but it often boils down to a rather shoddy interpretation that only makes you appear insecure of what has already been achieved.

>I would not be willing to fight back against someone trying to kill me

I'm of the opinion that if someone tries to kill me, their life is worth little to nothing, and you should be killed. I will do it for you.

I'm also of the opinion that it's perfectly fine for you to not fight back if someone tries to kill you because you are obviously so weak that passing on your lineage would ultimately be detrimental to our species as your weak genes will do nothing but create more weak men. Only the strong survive.

There is a difference between cruel and senseless violence, and preserving one's self, and what is good in the world. Would you refuse to defend a child if they were being killed by somebody? If a man was kicking a dog to death, would you not try to stop him? Would you simply look on as a man murders your entire family, unable to do anything because you believe it is wrong to kill or fight? If all the good men of the world abide by this way of thinking, then in a hundred years, there will be no good men left; they will all have been killed by the bad ones. Your philosophy is weak and ultimately self-destructive.

And my decision to not fight back would be acknowledgement of that, as he has others who depend on him, and therefore his survival is more important than mine at that point.

>>128305840
Truth is interdependent and co-arising, truth can be observed by observing phenomena. Truth is qualitative, in this sense.

What you find is that there is no self that doesn't arise from its relation to other things, as with most things, objects, concepts. This belies, or contradicts that which we understand as unmoving, eternal, true, because truth can't be quantified, only experienced.

Experience is where truth is investigated and lived

>>128306509
I like how you read half of my post. Also, if he kills you, he's going to fucking jail. Nobody is going to be able to depend on him anymore, because he won't have a job. Then the shithead who killed you passes on his lineage and you don't. If this trend continues, then the world will only be filled with shitty people willing to kill others, and no good ones.

That which is done without judgment and through the eyes of compassion is not off the path of dharma. Do your duty.

Part of your duty involves taking Care of your self. Self defense, especially if you are forced to hurt then in order to preserve your self from attack, is compassionate. Someone else might kill him. You learn self defense and you can teach him self respect.

What man can we say has self respect by putting him self in danger, by way of attacking someone? They could have (you) been armed. It is a forfeit of life. learn self defense, remain a Bodhisattva. Move right along the middle

If he's caught.

Again, it depends on the circumstances.

If I thought he'd hurt others after me, I'd probably make sure I left evidence and proof behind before deciding to defend.

If it's a one-off thing that I may have inadvertently provoked, then maybe I'd just let him get away with it.

But I take issue with your assertion that his children would be like their father. There are plenty of examples in history where children outgrow the limitations of their family.

It is not easy. The first few times you try it you will probably feel like nothing is happening. If possible, visit a vihara and ask the monks questions.

The important part, and the most difficult, is stilling your mind. Learn how to not think about anything, not even thinking about not thinking, and simply be present. Then see what happens.
