Why have you not found the way of Buddha yet?

>>27146907
I've thought about it, but I like drugs and jerking off too much to go full /monk/
>>
>>27146939
You can still do that just in moderation, anon.

If you guys want some recommended /lit/ just ask me.

>Why have you not found the way of Buddha yet?

I'm catholic and comfortable with that.

Op doesn't even like Buddha,
>>27146993
You can be a Christian monk

>>27147056
I am Buddha and i like myself a lot.

>>27146907

I'm kind of like a much less disciplined, far more filthy and perverted monk at this point, yeah.
>>
>>27146907
I don't need money or a GF but I do want those things.
I'm too much of a hedonist.

>>27147056
>You can be a Christian monk

I guess I'd like some benefits about that. still, seems a bit too restrictive.

This is the fastest way to enlightenment.

I might become a Buddhist Rastafari.
>>
>>27146907
I still like masturbation too much to become a monk. It's a hard habit to kick.
>>
>>27146907
I am currently trying to learn about Buddhism
I bought "The Essence of Buddhism", "Siddhartha.", and
"What the Buddha Taught: Revised and Expanded Edition with Texts from Suttas and Dhammapada"
Any other recommendations?
My city has a few Buddhist spots but I feel like I don't know enough yet to go there also my social anxiety is stopping me

Those are good books. Eckhart Tolle is probably the best spiritual teacher today. For advanced seekers Moojiji is great.
>>27147129 Listen to this.

Go to an interdiction seminar for beginners that's what i did. No buddhist will judge you i can tell you that much. Buddhists understand that everyone is on his own specific way and they don't compare themselves like normies do.
If you still don't have enough this is also for advanced seekers

The Compass of Zen (ignoring the reincarnation stuff). The Three Pillars of Zen. I also remember enjoying lighter reads like The Universe in a Single Atom, The Way of Solomon, and books of koans like Zen Flesh Zen Bones. Koans are great.
