A man should be strong physically, intellectually and emotionally. Like one of the greatests said "It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable"

>>22415794
You are doing it with violent intentions so obviously yes.

>>22415794
You aren't actually a Buddhist and will find some other LARP to pursue in a few months so it doesn't matter.

*sigh* it's getting harder and harder to post on /lit/ these days...

>>22415834
How is my post retarded? His violent intentions contradict half of the eightfold path.

>>22415834
Probably because you are the retard who posted this shit here instead of /fit/.

>>22415851
It's not violence if it's self-defense and not harmful.

>>22415853
/fit/ doesn't know shit about buddhism.

>>22415794
if you ever want to go into monasticism it will be a waste of time.
but as a lay person it isn't a problem however if you want to work on yourself, fasting and meditation are preferable

You should stop pursuing it. But you shouldn't stop it. Zen lifting.

Before enlightenment lift weights, drink protein shake. After enlightenment, lift weights, drink protein shake.

Go watch Nyanamoli's vids. He and all his disciples are swole.

Buddha killed a soon-to be murderer out of compassion, to save him from bad karma. Le be a cuck is christianity, not buddhism, buddhists should be violent out of compassion

Guy didn't sit under that tree nearly to death for you to be asking that.

>I train to become strong and capable of defending myself if the situation requires it
>I'm a buddhist
What a cringe ass larping retard with no awareness lying on the internet.

You should also add that you consider yourself an elitist or selfdiagnosed autistic genius.

>>22415794
IMO only the Greeks were heavily invested in the idea of physical beauty being something worthy of achievement, since it placed them closer to their gods. Buddhists would consider the pursuit of bodily perfection being too materialistic. So if you want to work out while being buddhist I suggest you avoid using the mirror or flexing too much.

They know as much as the average lit poster. Your post was not good enough to attract the actual Buddhist posters who frequent this board either so you have not been able to demonstrate sufficient knowledge of it either, which means go back to fit and the thread ended when it was determined you are just larping anyhow. Verification not required.

>Le be a cuck is christianity
Sexual immorality like cuckoldry and sharing your wife is atheism and pagan religions, not Christianity.

How many 81 mm mortars do you have, can you accurately walk fire before counter battery hits you?

A rapist jumps out of an alley onto your girl. What do you do?

>>22417209
I am that rapist.

>>22417209
You are either a schizo, or never went outside, I guess. Take a shower, touch grass, time to grow up.

holy kinoli

>>22416072
Self defense is violence.

Buddha was doing it out of compassion, this guy is doing it out of self preservation
