In your opinion, is reincarnation plausible?

do you think this statement is true or false:

Suffering in life is caused by our desires

Any books that works as an introduction to chemistry but not in a high school text book way? I'm guessing the world is filled with all those "math is fun!" kind of books, there should be one about chemistry out there.
My school had shitty times when it came to chemistry but now I want to learn.

In Buddhism, there is a concept called anatta, which means "no soul" or "no self". It refers to the idea that nothing has a permanent and fixed essence and instead everything is constantly in flux throughout the universe. Buddhism teaches that we experience suffering because we cling on to the deluded idea that things are permanent, like for instance, ourselves (hence why people are so scared of dying) and so the way out of suffering is to give up these desires.

But is there really no self? I've always been interested in Buddhism but lately been questioning this. I mean there does seem to be, in a certain sense, an underlying essence that makes up 'me' as distinct from someone else. Wouldn't anatta teach that all people are essentially the same? There seem to be certain things and experiences that click well with me and really make me a happier person, as well as certain things and experiences that particularly agitate me and make me more unhappy, and these things and experiences are unique to me, and not universal. Like how people have different tastes in music.

what do you think /sci/?

Hey, /sci/. I took a break from 4chan when summer started, and it felt great. I worked, played video games, thought about things, communicated with people I know, went to parties, and in general had a great time. I come back here, and you look the exact same. It feels kind of good. Tell me about your summer, /sci/.

Pic related, I became a buddhist.

If you live the absolute moment, there is neither life nor death. As D. T. Suzuki explained it, the question is not “to be or not to be.” It is “to be and not to be.”
