/lit/ - Literature

Source?

I get my wisdom from the primary source.

How do you get a deep understanding of books?
Does using concept maps help?

Anons, I am halfway through the western canon (the Great Books at least), and now I want to feel what the eastern world feels like. Does anyone have a chart or something.

Bump

Read Robert Anton Wilson's books. You can be limited by your beliefs. If your beliefs are not so tightly held, you'll see more potential angles and possibilities. Also take LSD.

Imagine being a lesbian. You are reduced to finger fucking, tongue play, and sex toys. Lesbians can never really have sex with each other. There is no point where intercourse is achieved. At least with men, their penis can plunge into the other's ass. A man has his hole with women. A man can make use of the other's ass with men. A woman has nothing to penetrate. Their sex is juvenile

There has never been another time but now.
There has never been a situation better than the present.
The past exists only memories, the future in hopes and fears, but "this" moment is eternal.

>its hilarious how bitter buddhist threads on /lit/ and r/buddhism can get.
That is a good thing. Shows that they actually care and genuinely believe their faith to be correct.

Too often these days every fucking Buddhist is a ecumenical bugman that uses Jesus, Allah and Buddha interchangeably like they're all the same. We need some fucking fervor in Buddhism, we need dharma zealots to sweep the lands bopping people on the head with club sized prayer wheels.

Where can I read Shankara's specific refutations of Buddhism? All I can find are his commentaries on the Upanishads/Gita/Brahma Sutras etc etc. Are they hidden somewhere in those writings or did he write any direct polemics against the Buddhist? And are there any Buddhist writings that specifically against the Vedanta positions?
