In the ancient Sanskrit language of India, the word 'siddhi' means 'perfection'. In its most common usage, the word 'siddhi' refers to an ability that is a natural and inherent faculty of our true identities as eternally alive souls. The soul is smaller than an atom and larger than the universe. The soul is infinitely small and infinitely large. The soul is ALL-PERFECT AND EVER-PERFECT. The soul is the storehouse of ALL ENERGY, ALL POWER AND ALL STRENGTH. The soul is PURE CONSCIOUSNESS. The soul possesses ALL siddhis and there are an INFINITE number of siddhis. Among all of these siddhis, there are considered to be eight major siddhis. Siddhis can be awakened through a variety of methods. In Patanjali's Yoga Sutras IV.1, it is stated:

"Siddhis may be attained through birth, the use of herbs, incantations, self-discipline or samadhi."

Here is a list of the eight major siddhis (in no particular order):

Laghima siddhi: Making your body and/or anything else as light as you want.

Garima siddhi: Making your body and/or anything else as heavy as you want.

Mahima siddhi: Making your body and/or anything else as large as you want.

Anima siddhi: Making your body and/or anything else as small as you want.

Prapti siddhi: Having unrestricted access to any and/or all places.

Prakamya siddhi: Fulfillment of whatever you desire.

Isitva siddhi: Control over any and/or all of the laws of nature.

Vasitva siddhi: Being able to control any and/or all beings.

"A man is a god in ruins. When men are innocent, life shall be longer, and shall pass into the immortal, as gently as we awake from dreams." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

It's a bit too topical and intellectual, especially visible since it claims not to be. Zen is precisely why Buddhism degenerated into basically New Age backup lore in the west, and it's not even the first time in history it happened.

What if some kind of suffering (self-sacrifice) is the ultimate good?
Then you're living your whole life in a wrong way ...

Yes but Buddhism won't work. Because the more you focus negatively on that pain ("I want to get rid of it"), the more energy you will put into it.

Anyway, you don't have to take my word for it. Let's see if Buddhism will make you free from suffering... talk to you in a few years again : )

Sooner or later you will realize the only way to deal with suffering is to embrace it and even will it, when you see its purpose and meaning

God's world is perfectly just. Your suffering is willed by God and I thank Him for it.

You know, Buddhism is more into "turning the other cheek" than Christianity.

>>135409934
>>135410715

Suffering is part of life. That's what is taught in both religions, though as you pointed out, one embraces it, the other tries to get rid of it by breaking off all attachment.

Yes, and for some reason you're dodging it for the second time now. Probably because you know that the next question's going to be "why didn't Christendom accomplish anything like that in Armenia and Ethiopia who adopted the religion even before Europe" and you can't answer that one either, because it's not your religion being responsible for the advancement. What's responsible for it is currently getting killed by the values your cuck cult shills, and that's why it has to go.

Read up The Dhammapada, that's pretty much the core of Buddhism and it is a very fast read.

http://libgen.io/book/index.php?md5=9E05C00899B7DC67CCF56B1E42F7B210 (36pgs, uncommented version, only the aphorisms)

Buddhism has many semblances with Stoic philosophy. Check it out and you'll find that the teachings of Gautama Buddha and most other Buddhas seem almost a carbon copy of the teachings of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, etc. They are all for acceptance of reality, fatalism, getting rid of attachments, self sufficiency and control of emotions and thoughts.

Those who think Buddhism is nihilistic, or "degenerate" or whatever else like that are terribly misinformed.

I hear people say Buddhism is a type of """"Atheism""""" or something Is this true in any sense?

I am a Atheist. I just seek a little spirituality I am a Nietzsche Ubermensch/ Schopenhauer type of person. However I like the community aspects and from what I've heard the truthful parts of human nature and life in Hinduism,Paganism and Buddhism. Am I right for this?

>inb4 le degenerate atheist. No I'm quite moral and nice and I disprove of Nihilism

Before adopting a religion purely for meme purposes, read evola and guenon (yoga of power and man and his becoming according with the vedanta, particularly).

What can buddhism teach me about nofap and abstinence?
>>
>>135422674
Its certainly not atheism, though
>>
>>135402938
You can still worship God and pray to Jesus in meditation and you can sit however you'd like. If people practiced Christianity as devoted as a Buddhist monk the church would be in better shape.

>>135421525
It is "atheism" in the sense that there is not a bald white bearded guy dressing a toga that lives in the sky and is watching you masturbate. There isn't in Christianity either, but that's what most mainstream Christians seem to believe.

God as a word may be used for many different things, it may be a word for "all there is", that is why in Islam God is called Allah (The One); or it may also be used to refer to consciousness itself, saying that all sapient life participates in "God" or is part of it. What you must understand is that "God" 's existance or not is entirely dependent on how you define it.

For example in the Dhammapada there is references to 'Mara', which is some sort of demon that tried to stop Lord Gautama from achieving enlightenment. Does this mean that Buddhism teaches belief in supernatural entities? No, Mara could as well be a metaphor for the Ego, a function of our brain that protects us from change, or whatever else you could attribute it to.

Buddhism can be interpreted as a philosophy, ethics (a lifestyle/practice) or a religion on the traditional sense (though I don't recommend the latter). Any approach is encouraged and it's up to the practitioner to try things out on his own accord and see what works and what doesn't.

I hope I cleared things out a little. Pic related is what I began my buddhist practice with years ago, it's a small booklet (10pgs or so) and you might be interested in looking it up.

then why do you have idolatrous statues of sitting ching chong?

>>135422761

I know.

>>135423037

I never said I was a Buddhist. I'm not a Buddhist. I do not adhere to any religion. Nevertheless, I openly admire many aspects of Buddhism. Also, yes, there are hells in Buddhism, but those hells are temporary. You only stay in those hells until your karmic debts have been paid.

>>135423084

I don't have any statues. Why do you worship a dead kike on a stick?

Here in Taiwan one is kind of pushed towards Humanistic Buddhism, being Fo Guang Shan the biggest order.
It is basically a very simplified version of Buddhism that appeals to the masses, nice temple, a lot of very kind volunteers, focuses on social and cultural activities ("serving the living")

If you are letting yourself be pushed about by a bunch of nuns and little old ladies, perhaps you should reconsider your determination.
There are plenty of different schools and so on of Buddhism in Taiwan, and some are much less visible than others. Needless to say, there are some conservative, and traditionally-minded lineages too, you just need to look around and seek out what appeals to you most.

Flags are useful for people from meme countries who would otherwise have their posts ridiculed or outright ignored. They help this board be more about honest discussion and less about pointless memes.

The temple? It is comfy, very beautiful inside, well maintained, many people speak English, there are many good vegetarian restaurants, there is even a starbucks inside... it is not a poor or ascetic order.
I got many presents and free books, which I am reading.

>>135424364
Why you say that, old ladies are nice and kind...
And I also don't have any determination.
Like Aussiebro, I just admire many teachings of the Buddha, I believe that meditation is good, and I am interested in what is going on in your beautiful country that received me so well.
What do you believe in particular? Do you recommend anything?
I believe that tradition is good too...
>>
>>135426488
The first sentence was a joke, m80. But seriously , do visit some other places, temples in the mountains and forests, talk to the monks, learn something from a different perspective, and also see if you can attend a Chan retreat sometime. 7 days of hardcore meditation... There are always plenty of events going on, it shouldn't be too hard to find.

You can pretend you're an atheist, but it's all just a game that you're playing. You LITERALLY are god, whether you believe it or not. You're literally shining the sun, in this moment.

To be honest, muslims weren't all that bad a few decades ago, before Wahabbism became a thing outside Saudi Arabia. They lived in developing countries (nothing like the typical "goat herder" stereotype) and were as half assed about their beliefs as modern day christians are, it was a cultural thing and not much else. People becoming terrorists, blowing themselves in multitudes of innocents "for their religion" and slaughtering each other for BS is something that begun after the Arab oil embargo in the 70's and all the warmongering that followed by the US.

Wahabbis are like the equivalent of American Neocon war hawks, probably even worse in ideological extremism but without a death toll as high as them.

I know it sounds the kind of bullshit that progressives would use to excuse muslims but it's pretty much the truth. Muslim societies weren't as theocratic long ago, it's just we didn't pay attention to them back then because we didn't need to.

Zen philosophy.
I just meditate by myself, my practice is mostly according to Shunryu Suzuki, but I can't say Alan Watts and Tao Te Ching didn't have an effect.

What it boils down to, though, is having the mindfulness. I meditate in full lotus for 20 minutes a day and try to let my thoughts drift away as much as possible during regular activities. No mind, and yet infinite wisdom.

>>135433271
By letting thoughts drift away, I mean letting them go away so I think of nothing.
