Before you inevitably post more cringe go learn more about Buddhism. Either read about it or visit a Buddhist temple and talk to their teachers. I am very sympathetic to Buddhism and your youthful excitement but please don’t make Buddhism into an other tradcath meme. Please respect Buddhism as the serious as religious teaching and not as a n accessory for your identity.

The question of what exactly is a religion and what is the line between religion and philosophy are questions men smarter than me still debate. However, I will say the real authentic Buddhism that has been practiced for over 2000 years is a religion. It makes many supernatural claims and offers a transcendent vision of the universe outside the scope of a mankind’s reason. It’s teaching aren’t a modern scientific substitute for spirituality that just teaches you “to have good vibes bro”. You can follow the Jewish mindfulness thing if you want to but it’s not the real teaching of the Buddha.

Judeo-Buddhism BTFO

Posting or lurking on 4chan doesnt chime well with Buddhism. Specifically it contravenes around half of the precepts of the noble 8 fold path (the logical set of conclusions as to how to live your life stemming from the 4 noble truths). Buddhism isn't Christianity. Right action, right speech, right mindfulness, right effort, right concentration are not token posts of the religion that can be cherrypicked. They are essential posts of Buddhism that are at serious odds with even lurking places like 4chan.

My point is. Take everything said about Buddhism itt with a pinch of salt as the author is a bullshit artist.

Disregard this. I suck cock.

Every whore who was into Buddhism that I've ever interacted with thought that the Buddha was an "ascended master" or "highly evolved being/alien" that taught "(quantum) healing meditation", "spiritual evolution" and other New Age/Theosophy gobbledygook. You have to keep in mind that that is the mental image that they have of Buddhism.

>>19418175
If you are successful in your Buddhist pursuit you might get in contact and interact with some evil spirit (demon) if not you will just open yourself to be harassed by them without knowing it. Either way you will make you life a living hell and when you die you go to the real hell.... but have fun anon

Westerners only Worship Buddhism as they do because at heart they don't really care about truth or religion and just find it exotic, drawing from it the exact same basic life lessons which one could find in their native religion of Christianity.

>wooow it's like don't be attached to material things!!!
WHaaaaaaaVVT I????????///

This is why the masses shouldn't be educated and should rely on their local monk to read them anything at all, but mostly just the Latin Bible.

>>19421203
Nirvana or Nivana is spiritual autarky having been attained and going then beyond the Arahant beyond being itself in any signed concievable state of inutterable nonbeing and being. Buddhism has many horizon goals. I'm already reading through Bhikku Bodi's books after having finished In The Buddha's Words and I embrace a supernatural world view although not the Vedic foreign frame.

>>19421213
What is "spiritual autarky"? It sounds like you are referring to some self-aggrandizement project that separates you from everything else. That's not even close to Buddhism, it is so far off the mark I have to assume you are only name-dropping Buddhism to add prestige to your claim

>>19421212
>rely on their local monk to read them
Christers don't even know what century it is anymore. Their local monk? Who is my local monk? An eighty-five year-old with no successor because his religious tradition has been moribund for the last century after being repeatedly severely wounded prior?

Posting or lurking on 4chan doesnt chime well with Christianity. Specifically it contravenes around half of the precepts of the New Testament (the faithful set of commanents as to how to surrender your life to Jesus and Israel). Christianity isn't Buddhism. No fap, shame and guilt, loving brown people, bible thumping, Church attendance, begging for mercy, chastizing universally, blind faith overriding reason, are token posts of the religion that can be cherrypicked to form a new denomination. They are essential posts of Christianity that are at serious odds with even lurking places like 4chan.

My point is. Take everything said about Christianity as a final BTFO because the author is in this moment EUPHORIC.

Regard this holy sermon as the infallible word of God because I lost the foreskin on my cock.

Buddhism leads to transgenderism because it preaches disassociation of the soul from the physical body and transmigration into the opposite sex.
Thomistic philosophy correctly teaches that the soul is the form of the body.

It is something Evola said in brief. The Buddhists are verbose. Autarky is a country that needs no imports from other countries to sustain itself. My recall is inferior to proper look up. Im phone posting desu. If this board wasnt so slow Id hold my tongue.

>>19421419
Same nature, different persons with no confusion of persons and changeless. The Son once and for all assumes a male human body and does not trans-migrate.

The possibility of a male soul inhabiting a female body must be conceded in principle by Dharmic religions.
The same is not possible in principle in Christianity. Gender dysphoria must be (correctly) assigned to the psycho(patho)logical, not the ontological, realm, safe in the (not improbable) case of demonic possession.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_of_Saint_Peter
>In Christianity, it is associated with the martyrdom of Peter the Apostle. The symbol originates from the Catholic tradition that when sentenced to death, Peter requested that his cross be upside down, as he felt unworthy of being crucified in the same manner as Jesus. The Petrine Cross is also associated with the papacy, reflecting the Catholic belief that the Pope is the successor of Peter as Bishop of Rome.

Why? "Girl souls in boy bodies" is something that Abrahamics have to concede because the soul is explicitly male or female (or some kind of weird tranny-hermaphrodite) in Abrahamism, but in Buddhism (let's just ignore Advaita Vedanta and Dvaita Vedanta here for a minute as they're both special cases) and non-dualistic schools of Hinduism, identity is a result of the interplay of all aspects of life. The physical, the spiritual, the mental, etc. You actually CAN'T have a "girl soul" in Buddhism, and maleness and femaleness are due to physical conditions. Even if you had a soul that was "predilected towards femininity", you'd just be a dude because you had a slightly-girly soul in a dude's body. Because the soul, like all things, is conditioned and made up of parts, you could also change your soul's nature to be more in line with your masculine body (you could also do the opposite, but then you'd just be "a girly man", which is still a man).

There's actually a Sutra on this (I believe it's the Flower Garland Sutra) where Subhuti (one of the Buddha's Ten Principal Disciples, but a frequent butt-monkey as he is a brilliant yet foolish man) gets turned into a girl by a Goddess as a demonstration of the conditioned nature of identity. If a Goddess turning you from a man into a woman makes you a woman, then being born a man makes you a man, and being born a man makes you a woman. She turns him back though, don't worry.
