buddhism is fucking retarded and the kind of "people" who adhere to it, both in its lands of origin and the western world, are perfect proof of this

if you can only claim superiority because you're comparing yourself to christcucks then you may as well just admit your beliefs are horseshit.

>> No.21513743

Percolate soul via the senses and calms the mind. Your christcucks are seeking meaning outside of your heart.

They seethe the most about Buddhism because it shits all over them and has done so for centuries. I'm just fishing for (You)'s; wouldn't expect a serious discussion with the OP or anyone else here on the merits of Buddhism or Buddhist philosophy vs dogmatic screeching about what someone's astral rabbi thinks we should do to get an eternal life dlc pass.

What's the point of throwing that at him? What do you think is the outcome of confrontingly quoting scripture at anonymous people who already dislike Buddhism? They'll just dislike it more.

Wandering for alms —
weak, leaning on a staff,
with trembling limbs —
I fell down right there on the ground.
Seeing the drawbacks of the body,
my mind was then
set free

Or


Sleep, little theri, sleep comfortably,
wrapped in the robe that you've made,
for your passion is stilled —
like a pot of pickled greens
boiled dry

I also like this sutta

So freed! So thoroughly freed am I! —
from three crooked things set free:
from mortar, pestle,
& crooked old husband.
Having uprooted the craving
that leads to becoming,
I'm set free from aging & death

Some old nun complaining about her husband is funny for me

If you don't think Buddhism is good for people, why are you a Buddhist?
If you think it's good for them but don't care you're furthering it from them, you're not following the Buddha.

Koan culture is Asian midwit culture. It's formulaic enigma-mongering that any midwit can imitate.
