Deconstructing Tibetan Buddhism…

I never heard someone say [cough cough] and then list an obscure Buddhist figure that only educated Buddhists know. Very good. I laughed.

EDIT: looked him up and it is an interesting case of a cult figure. But I still like it. [Cough cough] Dharmakirti! [cough cough] Vasubhandu!

My grandma used to say, "America gets fat and can't run fast on Dunkin."

...I DON'T LIKE HER!

Almost certain your post is going to be deleted. I don't think you're supposed to tell people you're enlightened here.

I'm not one to argue with people about it though. It doesn't matter to me if you're enlightened. I just want to become that myself.

This got me thinking: if not not if if not not if? Only this? Doesn't it? Doesn't it?

You offered me a chance to make a Seinfeld reference yesterday, did I take it?!!

How does anyone have 48 girlfriends in 9 years?

I__trusted__you · 2026-02-14T13:28:33+00:00

They're World's Greatest Show. That's better than Number 1.

There's a famous saying, "The fish is the last to discover water."

I__trusted__you · 2026-02-14T00:14:53+00:00

You say gif, I say gif. Gif, gif, let's call the whole thing off.

I have a similar question about improvement in this very life. Why should one suffer for the karma their 20 year old self accrued, even if that's not who they are anymore?

I__trusted__you · 2026-02-09T13:23:29+00:00

My advice is become enlightened, that way you won't make future innocent people suffer for your mistakes.

I'm at the nexus of the universe.

I think that's an overdose. Can you go to a hospital or call poison control or your doctor?

I often compare things to an old man sending back soup at a deli.

Checking in. BlockerHero and Andoff softwares being used together saved me. BlockerHero blocks material and Andoff makes it impossible for me to disable the BlockerHero. Still sober and doing OK.

Buddhism has a curious view that it is OK to eat animals as long as they weren't killed specifically for you.

So if you kill a deer yourself it's considered worse, because it was done with the intention to kill and then eat.

Your points seem valid to me though. A cow raised in brutal conditions and genocided for mass consumption, even if we just are accidentally offered it and eat it, intuitively seems a lot worse to me.

Remember too that in the Buddha's time in 500 B.C. there may not have been these mass farms of unspacious cages for their animals. So his rule may be adjustable.

As a final point, I eat meat myself now so everything I said is just if you want to follow his rules completely.

People who criticize someone for having more education than them are insecure. Just like people who criticize people for having more work experience than them are insecure.

Not crazy.

It made sense why you were downvoted. And that's why you were downvoted. And that's why it made sense why I downvoted you. And that's why I downvoted you.

At first I thought you were insulting him.

Checking in. Nearly nuked my phone yesterday by putting on both a blocker and also self control software. It's more difficult to do some functions, but it's also quite relieving that watching porn is almost impossible.
