Thoughts?

On the philosophy of happiness it is very developed. I don't think it is equipped to deal with real evil, however.
>>73967811
>laugh at your problems
and they'll keep on being problems.
debunked, Buddhists are lazy shits who don't want to solve their problems
>>73967889
No, if you live true to the belief, you'll never have lasting problems.
>>73967811
So basically the same as Christianity?
>>73967889
They aren't lazy. They live self sufficiently without stress. The "laugh at your problems" part is a reference to their tendency to approach issues with a level head. A Buddhist will approach problems properly and without stress.
Try and read between the lines before you sperg.
>Don't give a shit about others' suffering because karma
>Sit in a fucking temple all day and wait to be reborn into a better existence, without doing fuck-all
Redpilled my ass.
>>73967811
Buddhism is for hipster cucks, as is Hinduism. Taoism is better
>>73967963
Christianity uses fear of hell to encourage you to be a good person. Buddhism has you doing it so the world and all its people can know joy.
>>73967963
No, not really. They have practical solutions for removing suffering, and a developed understanding on what it takes and what it means to be happy. I haven't had MUCH dialogue with monks, I've had enough to answer general questions. Nothing too specific, just on the philosophy.
Can one appreciate and enjoy the philosophy promoted by a certain group or individual without accepting and conforming to that group or individual's practices?
>>73967811
the asceticism denies you a lot of life's opportunities, but the mindfulness training and conditioning to not wallow in suffering is very useful.
Sam Harris wrote a book recently where he compared and contrasted the useless mysticism with the useful mental exercises. Title is Waking Up. I'd recommend it.
>>73968001
I thought they are gardening?
>>73968004
Taoism is far less philosophically developed. It gives you tenets and doesn't help you in ever day life as much as Buddhism can.
And the hipster faggots are practicing fashion Buddhism. If they were serious about it they wouldn't be massive faggots.
>>73967811
enjoy being beaten to death by an angry thieving muslim/nigger while you're meditating in a park
>>73968135
>what is Zen
>>73967811
Great, more new age bullshit like what was done to wicca and sikhism and yoga.
I'd rather praise Kek. At least he does something concrete.
>>73967811
Just a regular normie religion like Christianity. Plenty of Buddhist dicks in everyday life but it's not an aggressive cult like Islam.
>>73967811
>be a race that never invents something new because you can't lust for a better world
no thanks
>>73967811
I agree. : )
>>73968203
It isn't at all new age. New age faggots practice edgy and very materialistic spirituality. Buddhism is more a guide to living than it is any of those things.
>>73968203
why new age? budhism is pretty old, comparable to babylonian times (gilgamesh is an interesting read for any abrahamite).
>>73968246
The whole point is a better world. It is a practice that is dedicated to the acknowledgement of suffering, and a solution to suffering.
>>73968307
>>73968313
Both of my other examples are ancient as well, but what has been done to them at the hands of hipsters certainly isn't.
They did that shit to iChing as well.
Interesting that any of the philosophies that require real work (martial arts and not the belt mills but serious practice) never quite got off the ground. Westerners just don't have the discipline or pain tolerance.
It's all a pyramid scheme anyway. Want an example of modern Buddhist faggotry? Go see what they charge families in Japan.
its the ultimate redpill, even coming close to their philosophy will make you a much much happier man
>>73967811
It sounds overly unrealistic and it wouldn't work in the real world.
>dont be materialistic
am materialistic
>love your fellow man
I hate most people I have to interact with daily
>enjoy life
Uh, I mean, sure, enjoying life is good? The only time I enjoy life though is when I spend money on things like a new phone or pc or whatever
>be free of hate and desire
uh ok, this is some more mystical buddha bullshit
>laugh at your problems
I don't laugh at my problems I work on solving them
>do not linger on trouble
Not sure what that means. Avoid trouble? Sort of common sense
>lust for nothing
tfwn(k)gf
Sorry but your mystical asian bs doesn't work in the 21st century.
>>73968975
Everything you listed shows that you're the one at fault, not the belief system.
Buddhism is pretty red-pilled, but most new-age hippie types who call themselves Buddhists in the West are delusional.
>>73968502
Hindus requires some pain tolerance if you want to become a Sadu. Buddhism will also cause pain to lazy fuckers if they want to actually give it a real go.
>>73967811
Problem with that is you should kill yourself cause you'll never be anything useful
Buddhism isn't redpilled. Buddhism is "look, the container is empty. You can choose to refill your prescription, change your prescription, or keep it empty."
>>73968975
nah bro trust me its easy, here ill enlighten you
>am materialistic
just have less money
>I hate most people I have to interact with daily
fuck em, don't give a shit about them or their actions they are insignificant anyway
>Uh, I mean, sure, enjoying life is good? The only time I enjoy life though is when I spend money on things like a new phone or pc or whatever
quit taking ur meds n ull realize your life sucks, with or without buying new useless shit
>uh ok, this is some more mystical buddha bullshit
Nah just dont give a shit
>I don't laugh at my problems I work on solving them
you cant fix your life's problems instead try giving 0 shits soon you will have 0 problems
>Not sure what that means. Avoid trouble? Sort of common sense
nah means dont give a shit
>tfwn(k)gf
jacking it is easier and requires 0 shits
2 ez, who wants to get woke next
>>73968203
Kek would come under eastern mysticism
>>73968011
Buddhism also uses hell and the fear of rebirth in a lower cycle to keep people in line. There are many similarities between Buddhism and Christianity.
>>73968177
>what is myanmar
Gnosticism is the only "redpill".
>>73967811
No, participating in New Age religions does not make you "redpilled". Pick the superior faith and try again.
>>73967811
>>dont be materialistic
I used to follow this, then I realised you're fucked without having money in western society.
>>73971912
works well for the NEETs. I work less, earn less, have more time for what I enjoy. I am more productive because I have more rest.
>inb4 you NEET
I still earn twice the ammount lots of hard workers will earn at toward end of their career.
>>73973290
>earn
you didn't earn shit you fucking parasite. genuinely hope you and every other NEET dies of cancer
>>73973390
oh, I am no NEET. I get up 4x a week at 04:30, improve productability of companies by automating out of the workforce and come home at 7pm.
>>73973803
out the workforce
>>73967811
>Literally KYS: The Religion
It relies on the belief that life is awful and that it goes on forever because reincarnation and that you can kill your eternal soul by not eating any dinner. Not fucking redpilled m80.
>>73973290
You still got to get money from somewhere, whether you are a neet-beggar or a worker bee.
This is the problem with religion, nebulous impractical advice..
>>73967811

>>73967811
It's the most blue-pilled religion out there.
> Intellectual suicidie
> Disdain for love, (intellectual) pride and actual self improvement. Since it's about the destruction of the ego, it removes actual empathy.
> You always put others instead of you for the sake of Nirvana
> Buddha is the most spoiled cuck of all mainsteam religious figgures
The only good thing about buddhism is Zen buddhism and their treatment of Islam.
Tldr. Buddhist are cool ( real Buddhists, not Allan Wats sjw like western cunts), Buddhism as an idea is spiritual suicide.

>dont give a shit

>dont give a shit
kek
seems like a decent lifestyle for lazy people
too bad I've swallowed the true red pill
>>73968157
Taoism sets you on a path and doesn't tell you what to believe or spoonfeed you. It is the real master religion
>>73975362
Everything is lazy and hard working. What is your red pill?
