i saw an occult chart once that put buddha and satan on the same level in the spiritual hierarchy. 5 sacraments or something. Jesus was 8 and the most sacraments. But the catch is that jesus is basically beyond humans and everyone who claims jesus is a hypocrite. Need to dig it up some time.

Also is this why the guy from Beherit became a buddhist? This connection is interesting.

Modernist, Secular or Neo-Buddhism is a form of *socially-engaged* Buddhism. It
promotes Buddhism as a science of the mind to alleviate the pains and stresses
of human life. A religious practice that is devoid of devotion, of a
transcendent (source, soul or god), of demi-gods and other beings, and of the
folk lore and magic that is usually incorporated into traditional Asian
Buddhism.

This form of secularized Buddhism does not bear much resemblance to the
Buddhism that is and was historically practiced in Asia.

The most prominent proponent of this stream of Buddhism is Thich Nhat Han. But
there are many other prominent promoters - most of them jewish - of Modernist
Buddhism which incorporates forms of social justice, activism, and aspects of
Marxism.

My great-uncle was an author, the national literature prize is named after him, he inherited a gold fortune in the early 1910s and spent the next 2 decades traveling the world. Stayed a while in China and Mongolia, where he was nearly murdered by a slave girl he had been given, and witnessed the worst of the opium pandemic in China. Despite this, the only people he ever had hatred for were Tibetans. Said he never saw a population so entirely devoid of any humanity.

You are retarded and clearly know nothing about Buddhist ethics. I'd love for you to actually say something substantial about Buddhist theories, but because this is a shitpost you clearly wont.
I constantly see dumb threads like this on this board that are clearly from Christians too retarded to see past their own narrow world view. They think "how can a system of thought promote an ethics without a supreme personality threatening me with damnation if i don't submit?" They only show their own stupidity and really in it is always a tinge of fear that their system can't hold up to real scrutiny.
I'll explain a bit about Buddhist ethics to make the thread more substantial, but I am no expert so anyone who knows better is welcome to correct my mistakes. The central idea of Buddhism is Anata, Not-self. You may ask how not-self is even possible coming from a Christian perspective, but even the Christian perspective would argue that your "self" isn't your body--the Buddhists would agree but they take the train of thought to a further extent. Not only are you not your body, you are not your thoughts, emotions, experiences, really nothing at all, because "Self" is above all a concept existing only in mind. There are only what are called the 5 aggregates, briefly, 5 different nodes of sense perception which are continually inputing new sense content: self would belong to the 4th aggregate, Mental Formations, Sankhara.
In another perspective, the self is only possible by what are called the 3 poisons: delusion, greed, and aversion. These are movements of craving, aberrant desire for the selfs reality to be more than illusory. If you ever want to see a Christfag's complete incompetence in discussing Buddhism (and I've seen it on this board a number of times) watch how incapable they are from seeing the difference between craving and desire. Craving=/=desire. They are 2 separate things. Obviously, Buddhists need to desire higher births to practice. But what I'm getting at is centrally this: the Buddhist view of self is that it only exists negatively, from lack of virtue. So, Non-self, is actually a sort of state of virtue from its absence of those original sins. How in any way is this an absence of virtue? Despite arguing that there is no inherent meaning in existence (only processes), the Buddhists still manage to come out with a highly ethical way of being. Most interesting about Buddhism to me is how easy it is to see it in the world. Can you name a single conflict that hasn't arisen from the 3 poisons? That could have been resolved had those qualities not been present?

This must be the most depressing thread I've ever seen on /x/
I won't even keep the tab open
Will just say what Tomberg said in his Meditations on the Tarot:
"Buddhism and Hinduism are all fine religions, but they are more than one steps behind Catholic Christianity (which is arguably the best religion that ever was and will be)"
The dude was a Theosophist and a Mystical Orthodox (and a freemason) before converting to Catholicism so he probably knew what he was talking.

>”Typically, teshuvah is translated from the Hebrew as repentance, but it literally means return, as if turning back to something you've strayed or looked away from”
>shûwb, shoob; a primitive root; to turn back (hence, away) transitively or intransitively, literally or figuratively (not necessarily with the idea of return to the starting point); generally to retreat; often adverbial, again:—((break, build, circumcise, dig, do anything, do evil, feed, lay down, lie down, lodge, make, rejoice, send, take, weep)) × again, (cause to) answer ( again), × in any case (wise), × at all, averse, bring (again, back, home again), call (to mind), carry again (back), cease, × certainly, come again (back), × consider, continually, convert, deliver (again), deny, draw back, fetch home again, × fro, get (oneself) (back) again, × give (again), go again (back, home), (go) out, hinder, let, (see) more, × needs, be past, × pay, pervert, pull in again, put (again, up again), recall, recompense, recover, refresh, relieve, render (again), requite, rescue, restore, retrieve, (cause to, make to) return, reverse, reward, say nay, send back, set again, slide back, still, × surely, take back (off), (cause to, make to) turn (again, self again, away, back, back again, backward, from, off), withdraw.
Literally means to “turn back from the path you were walking to”. It is then used figuratively to mean that you realize you were going the wrong way and then correct your behavior. It has nothing to do with feefees.

It's pretty reductive to talk about ethics in Buddhism, it has nothing to do with ethics. We could just use the word sila, and this includes right speech, right action etc. Notice it doesn't mention GOOD. Because in Buddhism, it doesn't matter. Just because they're not low tier hedonist retards doesn't mean their approach is ethical in the sense we understand it in the western tradition. Right speech etc. = that which leads to nirvana, nothing more. The extremes of moral responsibility such as martyrdom aren't venerated in Buddhism. In Buddhism, you try to destroy the mental formations and you have to be beyond emotions such as love as well. This is why materialist interpretations of buddhism also don't make sense, since if Buddhists didn't believe in rebirths they might just as well blow their brains out to disconnect from the suffering. Whereas in Christianity and a lot of more western mysticism, you try to get at those concepts of "good" and "love" in an absolute way. Just saying, there's different logics at work here, and calling Buddhism satanic, seeing as it emphasizes detachment over unification, is not so far off the mark as it would seem based on a more simplistic view of satanism.

>>lovebomb them, and indoctrinate them with pomo that life is meaningless, humans are a mistake, truth is relative, nothing really exists except the void, not even you
The Four Noble Truths are really your idea of "lovebombing"? Buddhism does not teach that life is meaningless, humans are not a mistake (on the contrary a human birth is considered an infinitely precious opportunity), there is a real truth, and "void" as conceived of in Buddhism does not just mean blank inert emptiness. Abrahamic mystics of all traditions have spoken of the ineffable unconditioned reality as "nothingness" as a way of conveying that the Divine is beyond all conceptual thought.

>>and if you live a virtuous, fruitful existence and fight evil, you reincarnate as an animal millions of times and suffer
I kind of have to wonder if you've even read the wikipedia page for Buddhism because this is so dead wrong. If you do good things in Buddhism you get a good rebirth. The problem is that the good rebirth doesn't last forever even if it's really long.

>>your friends and family don't matter, only escaping suffering does, so join our suicide cult
You do know that killing a family member in Buddhism automatically sentences you to like twenty kalpas in the worst Hell, right? And that the entire point of a Boddhisattva is to put off your own enlightenment in order to help others?

>>we'll teach you the practice of an ancient satanic sorcerer
I have to ask genuinely; what connection could the Buddha possibly have to Satan by any metric? Siddhartha Gautama more than likely had no contact whatsoever with the Jewish or Zoroastrian faiths and the closest thing to a "Satan"-type figure in Buddhism - Mara - is unequivocally rejected and renounced as "The Evil One". There are no recorded instances of the Buddha ever using magical powers to attack or harm others.

>>of how to kill your soul, and plunge into eternal oblivion ("Nirvana")
Nirvana is explicitly stated to not be annihilation. Annihilationism is one of the "wrong views" in Buddhism, Nirvana is the total transcendence of the realm of becoming and conditions which is, while described in purely apophatic terms, a very real thing that is not any kind of obliteration or cessation of existence. It is analogous to what Christians would describe as "the Beatific Vision".

>>develop no virtues or repentance and go to Hell
Is the brute threat of retributive torture meant to scare people away from a set of ideas? The ever-present threat of Hell is only a boon to the Buddhist assertion that life is suffering.

Me too. I was born into a secular nominally greek orthodox family, which don't know anything about the religion, this sort of ignorance towards the religion is definitely generational, it is something which is purely cultural, even my great grandfather who took it very seriously or was apparently more devout, it was more of a cultural tradition which gave them some meaning, I never heard him talking about the sort of theological orthocuckery we see online, in fact apparently he became anti-church towards the end of his life and considered it more of a farce, they were still personally religous, anyway I feel that evola thoroughly dismantled the joke that is christianity, it is a feminine religion, which is evidently gynocratic and of a disturbing origin, "mother of god" devotion and so on is obviously just something carried on over from the abyssal "great godess" cults of the eastern-Mediterranean, (it is funny to see some elarping orthocucks think this part of orthodoxy is based, when it is defintely lunar and telluric, and an expression of a pre-aryan intelligence),
You can just read the prayers of the orthodox, i have never seen anything more passive, its all about begging for mercy, confessing regret, and this continues in their prayers to the mother of god, the religion is undoubtedly a sort of spiritual castration and pathology, there is nothing innately virile in it.
the structure of the church is demetrian and an inversion of spiritual authority, conceiving of the church as a sort of ontologically real mediator dispensing salvation is something completely passive, which is why I called christianity feminine, everything that is good in christianity is of a pre-christian origin.

A university student while visiting Gasan asked him: "Have you ever read the Christian Bible?"

"No, read it to me," said Gasan.

The student opened the Bible and read from St. Matthew: "And why take ye thought for rainment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, neither do they spin, and yet I say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these... Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself."

Gasan said: "Whoever uttered those words I consider an enlightened man."

The student continued reading: "Ask and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. For everyone that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened."
