BUDDHA HATES 4CHAN

Angutara Nikaya
3.124 Arguments
“Mendicants, I’m not even comfortable thinking about a place where mendicants argue—
quarreling and fighting, continually wounding each other with barbed words—let alone going
there. I come to a conclusion about them: ‘Clearly those venerables have given up three things
and cultivated three things.’ What three things have they given up? Thoughts of renunciation,
good will, and harmlessness. What three things have they cultivated? Sensual, malicious, and
cruel thoughts. … I come to a conclusion about them: ‘Clearly those venerables have given up
three things and cultivated three things.’

4.111 With Kesi
“Sir, what do you do with a person in training who doesn’t follow these forms of training?”
“In that case, Kesi, I kill them.”
“Sir, it’s not appropriate for the Buddha to kill living creatures. And yet you say you kill
them.”
“It’s true, Kesi, it’s not appropriate for a Realized One to kill living creatures. But when a
person in training doesn’t follow any of these forms of training, the Realized One doesn’t think
they’re worth advising or instructing, and neither do their sensible spiritual companions. For
it is death in the training of the noble one when the Realized One doesn’t think they’re worth
advising or instructing, and neither do their sensible spiritual companions.”

2.42
“There are, mendicants, these two assemblies. What two? A shallow assembly and a deep
assembly. And what is a shallow assembly? An assembly where the mendicants are restless,
insolent, fickle, gossipy, loose-tongued, unmindful, lacking situational awareness and
immersion, with straying minds and undisciplined faculties. This is called a shallow assembly.
And what is a deep assembly? An assembly where the mendicants are not restless, insolent,
fickle, gossipy, or loose-tongued, but have established mindfulness, situational awareness,
immersion, unified minds, and restrained faculties. This is called a deep assembly. These are
the two assemblies. The better of these two assemblies is the deep assembly.”

Y'all niggas know this was a story about Dragons and Elves and shit. Why you gotta ruin it by asking stupid questions.

This is a strawman. Not everyone vaguely liberal supports soft laws on rape. Where is this even coming from? I see cuck getting thrown at literally everyone. Even conservatives sometimes. It makes no damn sense, has zero to do with rape, or being soft on rape. GTFOuttahere with that tripe.

nice unproven assertion. Given the progress you've made in this thread, I'm guessing that's about the full extent of your rhetorical capabilities.

>Most of this thread is people who have never cracked an economics textbook quoting economists they haven't read, classifying entire schools around names in times when those schools don't influence anything, and in general being fucking retarded.
