Hey, listen. There’s no one here, just this. No owner, no one to be old, to be young, to be good or bad, weak or strong. Just this, that’s all; various elements of nature playing themselves out, all empty. No one born and no one to die. Those who speak of death are speaking the language of ignorant children. In the language of the heart, of Dharma, there’s no such thing. When we carry a burden, it’s heavy. When there’s no one to carry it, there’s not a problem in the world. Do not look for good or bad or for anything at all. Do not be anything. There’s nothing more, just this.

One: all composite phenomena are impermanent. Two: all contaminated things and events are unsatisfactory. Three: all phenomena are empty and selfless. And four: Nirvana is true peace.

You can show you are no longer enslaved by the material world by joining a buddhist sect and giving the leader all of your money. You will feel so free

my favorite buddhism story is when a bodhisatva levitated in front of a guy to prove a point and the guy got so scared that he threw an ant hill on the bodhisatva, who then flew away into space. chill religion

I love the story where a monk from some bush league religion tried to challenge the Buddha to a debate and buddha was like "no, i don't really care lol." This made the dude want to convert to Buddhism, but he was just told to get out. This is a legit parable from Buddhism. Buddha was essentially the first goon.

When posting is, GBS is. From the arising of posting comes the arising of GBS. When posting isn't, GBS isn't. From the cessation of posting comes the cessation of GBS.

"Life is suffering" is the most baller thing I've ever heard. But I guess that translation is just too real, so contemporary Buddhists are trying to water the four noble truths down into something that's more palatable for the modern Western bitch-made Buddhist. But these new translations are just more obscurantist and less clear and useful.

buddhism a religion invented to convince the lower castes not to revolt against their masters for fear of getting an even shittier life next go around, and to justify the wealth and prestige of the higher castes as moral superiority rather than blatant exploitation... gosh... truly a n enlightened religion of peace and good to all people.... taoism better than all other religos imo

Muslims get a lot of poo poo from everybody because of Islamic terrorists and the like, but if you're a Buddhist no one ever mentions the genocide of the Rohingya in Burma or the Sri Lankan fascist movements happening right now. They just go "ooh how spiritual", it owns

Isnt that hinduism...buddhism was casteless at its inception. Many untouchables convert to buddhism to escape their caste. Saw your next post about the Tibetans though and thats a fair thing to say. But thats centuries after buddhism was created, things always turn to poo poo with time, even the most noble ideas.
