I'm trying to understand this religion but it seems so fucking sad and nihilistic.
Why are people getting into it? It's pure nihilism.

>dude nothing matters, it's all an external flow of phenomena, it doesn't truly concern you, free of yourself of dukkha
>but buddha ji! if nothing matters, why are you teaching me? why don't you simply sit in a corner in silence and achieve nirvana?
>because....because the only...uhh justification for any and all actions is...uhmm compassion(?)
>but buddha! ji doesn't compassion bring attachment and therefore, dukkha, with it?
>uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
>also, why would compassion be a justification?
>uhmmm because...uhhh we're all one! so...when you love another person and want them to achieve nirvana, you actually want yourself to achieve nirvana! so it's really you instructing yourself!
>but buddha ji! wouldn't that line of thinking bring one even more attachment to the world by perceiving it as a part of oneself, and therefore, much dukkha with it?
>CHUP CHUP CHUP HO JAO GANDO PAA GUL GADHA KUTTA BHAN CHOD! MAA DAR CHOD!! PAA DUUNGAA!
>Buddha Ji!!! *gets disintegrated*
Buddhism is so much fun.
