no, and I encourage you to study it before shitposting. why do you conclude that it's a death cult? what does death cult mean to you? why do you hope to fit buddhism into the umbrella of death cult?

your attitude is shit m8. start from the bottom up, i know making pretentious, sweeping statements is the norm on lit but really, go forth with earnest curiosity or die the slow intellectual death of claustrophobing labels and preconceptions.

Okay, to be straightforward, mostly no. Buddhism basically plugs into indian mythologies and sciences, making significant revisions and reorienting the spirituality in some way. It asks slightly different questions about the nature of life and finding satisfaction. It's difficult to talk about Buddhism and most Eastern philosophy because much of it's significance is tied to an intricate web of schools and influences. Buddhism, in some forms, acknowledges the existence of demons and gods and is more focused on their appeasement and servitude. Others, like chan buddhism, vehemently reject much of the divine with a stubborn, insistent, indifference. It's also difficult to talk about Buddhism because it rejects it's own labels and is often iconoclastic towards itself, so while one school may stress a certain meditation, the other might dismiss the practice as frivolous at best or lethally distracting from their practice. Thus, it's really best just to take a look at a smaller slice of Buddhism that attracts you and then compare it with associated schools or one's that directly oppose it. Really, even then it's difficult to make all encompassing statements about Buddhism but at least your idea of it grows.

In short, it's a death cult in the sense that Western philosophy is a death cult.

All religion is is a comfort. It's for morons who are so scared of death that they'll believe some fat Indian prince holds the secret to enlightenment.

the ideal for a buddhist is to embrace nothingness, that is become a living corpse. in short, yes, although some of its principles are helpful to normal people who actually want to live their lives.

except his 'elightenment' was just suicide minus some reincarnation bullshit

if buddha was born today in 20 years he'd learn about evolution and that and he's be like fuck this 8 fold bath shit I can just kill myself to end suffering because reincarnation isn't real and then he'd jump of the san fran bridge but he wouldn't die because it's not like it's hitting concrete or anything

nothing about the theory of evolutions has any bearing whatsoever on reincarnation. Also, care to explain how you know that reincarnation doesn't exist?
