I have read Bhagavad Gita and Ecclesiastes. And I think both of them are kino. What other religious text should I read, /tv/?

Nagarjuna's mulamadhyamakakarika

Ecclesiastes is my favorite book in the Bible. The other OT book that shook my worldview (but was much more confusing to me) was Job. If you haven’t read the Gospels, read those first.

The Book of Revelation is fantastic. If you have a grounding in all the symbolism behind it, it's great. If you have no idea what's going on, it's still great. One of my favourite books of all time.

>>21562413
Nagarjuna is very philosophically heavy! I think OP is looking more for wisdom or revelatory literature that explains philosophical ideas in an accessible way. There's a reason the Bhagavad Gita and Heart Sutra are much more popular than Shankara or Nagarjuna in their respective traditions.

The Dhammapada
Tao Te Ching
Meditations

Also I hope you've read the rest of the Books of Wisdom not just Ecclesiastes. Job in particular is on par.

Shankara is not a bona fide teacher of Bhagavad Gita. He’s a cryptobuddhist.

All shit recommendations, doesn't equate Bhagavad Gita and Ecclesiastes in beauty. The Dhammapada is repetitive as fuck.

buddhism is not about pleasuring your senses with fan fictions by and for normies

this is why women prefer hinduism over buddhism. Women love the holywood version of Buddhism and they hate buddhism deeply.

I would read the diamond sutra next, it’s a beautiful text. I would also recommend getting a version annotated by a master, like Hsuan Hua for example, as there are a lot of insights about stuff that gets lost in the translation from Sanskrit. I also have another recommendation, but I unfortunately forgot the name of it. It’s a novel out of 5/6th century China that illustrates Buddhist teachings in a fun and easy to understand way. I’m sure other anons know what I’m talking about, it’s quite well known
