STOP SPAMMING THE BOARD WITH THESE THREADS; NOONE HERE WILL CONVERT TO YOUR DEMONISTIC CULT.

Try this my friend. I am not a Buddhist but I also am interested in learning about it and this was recommended to me.

/lit/ is a Christian board, Pajeet.

NOONE WORSHIPS THE HOLY VIRGIN MARY; BUDDHISM IS A DEMONISTIC, NIHILISTIC CULT THAT IS BEING WEAPONIZED AGAINST CATHOLICISM, CHRISTIANITY; THOSE WHO FALL FOR THE BUDDHISM SCHEME ARE IGNORANT, AND DOOMED IF THEY DO NOT CORRECT THEMSELVES.

Thanks a lot, this will come in handy.

>NOONE WORSHIPS THE HOLY VIRGIN MARY
Except for the Catholics who insist on praying to her, praying to her statues, redirecting prayers to her rather than to God, mythologizing her as a kind of pagan fertility deity with all kinds of pagan aspects like perpetual virginity, immaculate conception, sinless life, etc. Or have you forgotten about the Catholics? Surely you haven't forgotten about the Catholics, who do indeed worship the Virgin Mary.

Save it, you fucking moron

i remember one time someone asked this question and some anon suggested siddhartha that was funny

>CATHOLICISM, CHRISTIANITY
Ethiopian Orthodoxy is the only real christianity, the rest is demon worship that will get your soul to hell.

Catholicism and Buddhism share many, if not all, tenets. Both are based on a contradiction, "the world is God's magnum opus despite being a catastrophe" and "the greatest good is liberating others despite them not existing", both practically define Materialism, Catholicism providing the "Newtonian" half and Buddhism the "Quantum" half, both have all but eliminated their original figure and returned to pagan Earth mommy worship, both claim that the Rational world simultaneously does not exist and is totally subordinate to the Phenomenal. Many such cases.

WORSHIP IS DEITIC VENERATION; NOONE WORSHIPS THE HOLY VIRGIN MARY, NOR THE SAINTS, NOR THE POPE; DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT INTERCESSION IS?

Are all christians on this board this nosey? Do they frequently come in unrelated threads to their religion to tell others they're going to hell?

What the Buddha Taught is great.
don't read primary sources as a starting point unless you want to spend the next 2 years of your life studying buddhism.

Is color breathing meditation some new age shit or legit?

The Dhammapada is the basic scripture. It's short and covers the underlying philosophy of the Buddha without all the various denominational trappings.

>>19814499
Its high level meditation, theres also meditating on corpse, fire, etc. The concept of it only make sense for monk with certain level of comprehension. Not for noobs

>>19814578
How do you know you've attained the required level?
