Dismal intercourse

[Sir Napsalot]

When I was stationed in Pearl Harbor I used to like to fly to Maui for the weekend- I had a cute girlfriend there named Loretta, who drove a Karmann Ghia and had a little house right on the beach in Paukukalo
Sometimes I'd go to Lahaina and party my ass off and then crash at the Buddhist temple, where I had permission to do so. One night I went to the temple to crash out and there were two drunk guys there who were being loud and carrying on. They had stolen a bottle of Crown Royal from the liquor store and were pretty blasted. The cops showed up and grilled the three of us- I told them I had permission from the monk and they asked the other guys if they had permission, at which time one of them said "Yeah, Rooster said we could stay here!" The cop says "Rooster?", and the drunk guy says "yeah, Rooster Cogburn! You don't wanna FUCK with John Wayne!"
They took them away in handcuffs and I got a good night's sleep until dawn when these Buddhists started ringing this big fucking bell

The Buddhist temple is just up the road a ways from a neon sign that says "Jesus, coming soon" which is mentioned in a song by the Eagles

“Anatta is a central doctrine of Buddhism, and marks one of the major differences between Buddhism and Hinduism. Buddhists do not believe that at the core of all human beings and living creatures, there is any "eternal, essential and absolute something called a soul, self or atman".

Those are lies told by lefty secular propagandists who want to do scientification of Buddhism. That we have no soul isn't the central doctrine, and it's a minor point showing what the soul isn't, not that the soul or self doesn't exist. Because it very much exists no matter what athiests try to prove with scientism.

Anatta isn't the negation of the self or soul. It's an adjective using a via negativa methodology, or an apophatic, for coming to the conclusion of the subjective self, the light(Amitabha), or soul(jiva) through objective negation of the five aggregates.

This guy TLDRs it way better than I can with references.

I get frustrated is all I guess. Shrug. I'm not that kind of Buddhist, I'm over it.


"Instead of solitary Meditative work toward Enlightenment, Pure land Buddhism teaches that devotion to Amitabha leads one to the Pure land."

"The Pure land is described in the Limitless Life Sutra as a land of Beauty that surpasses all other realms. More importantly for the Pure land practitioner, once one has been "born" into this land (birth occurs painlessly through LotusFlowers), one will never again be reborn. In the Pure land one will be personally instructed by Amitabha Buddha and numerous Bodhisattvas until one reaches full and complete Enlightenment. In effect, being born into the Pure land is akin to achieving Enlightenment, through escaping Samsara, the Buddhist concept of "the Wheel of birth and Death.""

The way you post makes you look super enlightened...

Zoroastrianism and hindu thought come from an even older unknown root religion which then split. The rishis and Brahmins had a fight over whether you go to one of four heavens, the four pure lands in Buddhism, or moshka(similar to nirvana) is the goal.

Which is why in vedic texts devas are good, but in the avesta asura are good, hence asura mazda is the main god, compared to vedic Lord Agni, both fire gods.

In the end most all religions are corruptions of the true old proto-indo-european religion.

Which is called Vedic Thought. It isn’t unknown. The Vedas and Sramana are the roots you are talking about, which I already mentioned. They’re not unknown at all.

I just like screwing with lefty idiots. I was minding my business in the religious section when I saw a UncleBuck post there. I corrected an obvious lie of his, not knowing he was troll dejour. So he fucked with me. I then followed him here doing the same. But then do gooders had to butt in to our good time. Now anyone who screws with me is fair game too.

If you want real posts from me I've already invited several, and you're welcome to ask me non-troll questions in my Buddha Sunday School.thread in the Religion section. There I assure you my answers adhere to the dharma nearly as 100% to my ability. Or if anyone is uncomfortable asking on the forum, PM me and I'll give a more personal response.

Got it?

Now, game on!

Seems like no one likes you

Anatta states there “is no soul.” You cannot negate something that doesn’t exist. Buddhists don’t believe in a soul. You’re literally creating your own religion, but it’s not Buddhism.

—————
In Buddhism, the term anattā (Pali) or anātman (Sanskrit) refers to the doctrine of "non-self", that there is no unchanging, permanent self, soul or essence in living beings.[1][2] It is one of the seven beneficial perceptions in Buddhism,[3] and along with Dukkha(suffering) and Anicca (impermanence), it is one of three Right Understandingsabout the three marks of existence.[1][4]

The Buddhist concept of Anattā or Anātman is one of the fundamental differences between Buddhism and Hinduism, with the latter asserting that Atman (self, soul) exists.[5][6]

...

Anattā is a composite Pali word consisting of an (not, without) and attā(soul).[7] The term refers to the central Buddhist doctrine that "there is in humans no permanent, underlying substance that can be called the soul."[1] It is one of the three characteristics of all existence, together with dukkha (suffering, unsatisfactoriness) and anicca(impermanence).[1][7]

Anattā is synonymous with Anātman (an + ātman) in Sanskrit Buddhist texts.[1][8]In some Pali texts, ātman of Vedic texts is also referred to with the term Attan, with the sense of soul.[7] An alternate use of Attan or Atta is "self, oneself, essence of a person", driven by the Vedic era Brahmanical belief that the soul is the permanent, unchangeable essence of a living being, or the true self.[7][8]

In Buddhism-related English literature, Anattā is rendered as "not-Self", but this translation expresses an incomplete meaning, states Peter Harvey; a more complete rendering is "non-Self" because from its earliest days, Anattādoctrine denies that there is anything called a 'Self' in any person or anything else, and that a belief in 'Self' is a source of Dukkha (suffering, pain, unsatisfactoriness).[9][10][note 1] It is also incorrect to translate Anattā simply as "ego-less", according to Peter Harvey, because the Indian concept of ātmanand attā is different from the Freudian concept of ego.[14][note 2]

There's a religion that pre-dates the vedas and sramana and avesta which has no name referred to as the proto-indo-european(PIE) religion. What we have is a corruption of that religion.

Age of the Rig Veda:

“Composition dates between 1,000 BCE and 10,000 BCE are claimed. It is also noted that the texts evolved over time and were passed on orally so are hard to date. The Rig Veda is the oldest of the Vedas. ... The Rig Veda is the oldest book in Sanskrit or any Indo-European language.”

Vedic Thought (& Sramana/Shamanism) is the root of all religion. Before the Vedas, there were no written words, only oral traditions (Which were the Vedic Sruti.) Get learnt.
