I have had some limited exposure to Buddhism, but I very much like what I've read. Buddhism seems to focus more on human-as-is and making peace with existence, instead of human-as-should-be and making war with existence, as, for example, Christianity does - by the cardinal sin, the human is sinful through its very existence.
- alfor 4y agoThe cardinal sin represent the awakening of the human mind, we no longer live in the moment, we can imagine the future and that make us powerful but also miserable (we can suffer from problems we imagine in the future) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ifi5KkXig3s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ifi5KkXig3s
- paskozdilar 4y agoThere is an interpretation that disagrees with what I said, I know. Whatever I say, there will be an interpretation out there that disagrees with what I said.
- bin_bash 4y agoEven in Buddhism. I find pretty much anytime I say anything about it online I have to add "in most lineages" because there are certainly dogmatic ones.
- paskozdilar 4y agoRandom question - what resources would you recommend to someone who is interested in learning more about Buddhism? I really like the quote you've posted. I dislike bullshit. There are many bullshit Buddhism resources out there. Where can I find the real thing?
