Buddha was that nikka...

[OfTheCross]

Expound. Because the countries were Dharamic religions are practiced the most seem to be in worst shape.

Again...I don't know about the cultural practices of the religions...I've only read and researched them all. Not actually practiced any.

In reading them, the Eastern ones are more logic-based, the western ones are more faith based. shyt...If I remember correctly, in Advaita Hinduism (maybe hinduism in general) gaining knowledge is the way to salvation.
And the knowledge has to make logical/scientific sense

So how can you espouse it as more logically if those practitioners tend to be worst off than those in the west? Unless your saying the mythology surrounding the dharamic religions make more sense then those in the west than in that case it's subjective honestly since it's all just myths and fables.

And in most dharamic religions isn't salvation just becoming one with the original source of life in their mythology and not to have to go threw reincarnation again? Believe they call it moksha in some religions and in other eastern religions it has a different name but the same concept essentially. How is trying to escape reality more logical? Rather than in the case of western religions atleast attempting to lay out a guide to getting through this life and not looking to escape it through just meditation, prayer and diet?

Elaborate what specifically about buddhism would benefit the "black community".


How? And which form of buddhism are you even talking about would be beneficial?

The core teachings would not only be beneficial on a societal level but it would also benefit us health wise. We harber so much anger for ourselves and others which lead to health issues like high blood pressure and stroke.


It also helps that the Buddha didn't advocate violence or demand it from his followers like the Abrahamic God has on many occasions (according to the Bible/Quran)


All around better example to follow from the top

The core teachings

What core teaching type it out and post specifically what form of buddhism your talking about fam.

 

[ba'al]

Not to mention westerners have a higher live expectancy on average? Don't even know what you going on about honestly thought you was an atheist too btw. I would imagine your position would've been to have myths done away with entirely and to only use sound and logical thinking to support modern life not to rely on the ancient teachings of a nomadic peasant.

Specifically the four noble truths and the eightfold path. And the all around example of non violence and compassion coming from the top.


U can't expect a harmonious society when the diety it worships advocates genocide. It's illogical.

I am an Athiest. And simply acknowleding that core teachings of Buddhism make sense don't contradict that.

You don't know much about the history of tibetian buddhism do you? Or just recently about violent Buddhist attacking muslim in Myanmar?

Religion isn't why eastern countries are "worse off" than the west.

and the short answer on the bolded is no. I suggest you google a bit to brush up on it.

The core teachings of Buddhism are non violence and compassion. Anyone who calls themselves a Buddhist and does the opposite are breaking the core teachings of the philosophy and the example demonstrated by the Buddha.


On the other hand Christianity/Islam/Judism has a diety at it's core that commits genocide on several occasions. And instructs it's followers to do the same on several occasions. (So if u do some demonic shyt you're really not straying far from the tree if we're being honest)


You don't see the difference here?

Did i say it was? I was leading to say if Shiva for example is real I would assume he would protect and bless his followers rather than those in the western societies who do better on average. I was saying it should be a correlation especially since the part of the goal is to escape suffering in this life.

and the short answer on the bolded is no. I suggest you google a bit to brush up on it.

I rather you tell me than deflect to google. Because if Moksha isn't the ulitmate goal than what is salavation your were refering to I would like for you to reference it?

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

I been telling nikkas this before. But bhuddism might really be the way. It understands human nature at its core

Stop conjoining Hinduism and Bhuddism. At their core they are 2 very different religions.
