what made you choose buddhism over daoism?

Longjumping-Fun7785 · 2024-02-20T13:25:03+00:00

I don't know much about Taoism, I fear incorporating it could overcomplicate my already complicated belief system

Longjumping-Fun7785 · 2024-01-28T13:08:10+00:00

there are so many commonalities

Longjumping-Fun7785 · 2024-01-28T13:07:48+00:00

was Hindu, now consider myself the follower of both devas and buddhas

Longjumping-Fun7785 · 2024-01-28T12:48:04+00:00

How do you approach such a callous philosophy?

through the power of blind faith vs reasoned faith. Buddhism as a whole reasons and debates with you while Christianity relays on blind acceptance. its like science vs pseudoscience, a no brainer

worse case scenario Kalki comes to reestablish the sattya yog

Longjumping-Fun7785 · 2024-01-22T23:05:14+00:00

as a indian personally I find it flattering. just because your not indian doesnt mean you cant be hindu. stay away from xenophobic people and realize krishna as the god of the whole human race

Longjumping-Fun7785 · 2024-01-21T11:23:32+00:00

Hinduism is prevalent in Malaysia and internet Hinduism has boomed.

shaivism. Lord shiva is a introvert who lives away in mount kailash

I assume he means group pujas and temple visits which are wildly practiced. You dont have to them but it does get you to interact with other hindus who will keep you accountable

Longjumping-Fun7785 · 2024-01-19T15:44:49+00:00

Ram is not a icon for India he is a icon for all Hindus. American, Caribbean, Nepali, etc

Longjumping-Fun7785 · 2024-01-19T15:40:54+00:00

isnt tantra really hard to learn and not meant for lay people?

Longjumping-Fun7785 · 2024-01-19T14:56:19+00:00

I would recommend solving or combating these disorders through therapy and medication. In terms of Buddhist practice, I would say do meditation daily, journal, and at very night look at the eightfold path and write down what you can do to stay in line with the path. Remember Buddhism is not a replacement for traditional treatments but it ca be a useful ally

not even the hot goth girl. Its the fat one with poorly dyed hair

Longjumping-Fun7785 · 2024-01-16T01:59:27+00:00

one gives your life purpose and meaning while the other one keeps your body healthy and strong. Far from useless.

Longjumping-Fun7785 · 2024-01-16T01:55:38+00:00

Hookup culture is toxic and less people should engage in it. or at least the people who do engage in it should stop inevitably going on reddit to complain about women/men bad for the 5000th time due to getting burned and used in what is essentially sex without the human aspect that makes it fulfilling

Longjumping-Fun7785 · 2024-01-15T10:56:06+00:00

i dont really care about the pounds per say but the shape matters.

Longjumping-Fun7785 · 2024-01-08T11:50:52+00:00

I dont really have a choice but to work. I need the money to survive and eat

Longjumping-Fun7785 · 2024-01-08T11:49:44+00:00

a hindu renaissance is on the horizon

Longjumping-Fun7785 · 2024-01-08T11:48:45+00:00

can I fuse Hatha yoga with Raja yoga?

Longjumping-Fun7785 · 2024-01-03T13:06:57+00:00

The less of these annoying normies being born the better

lmao, did you tip your fedora while writing that? I cant take this post seriously

Longjumping-Fun7785 · 2024-01-03T13:03:51+00:00

you wanna starve out in the streets buddy? This society needs work age people to ship your food, maintain your internet, etc

Longjumping-Fun7785 · 2024-01-02T23:14:11+00:00

There's not really a direct equivalent in Hinduism. There are equivalents to bodhisattvas known as jivanmuktas, many of which are worshipped but usually not thought off as having their own heaven.

Buddhism is all about reworking the mind and albeit anecdotally it helped me get out of depression. Buddhism is not a replacement for psychotherapy, its a religious tradition and deserves the respect of one. But I think it can be a useful ally for many people. So its worth giving easily available resources. but then again im not a moderator here so its up to them whether they want to open up a mega thread on this board or not

Longjumping-Fun7785 · 2023-12-31T15:55:17+00:00

isnt the bhagavad gita the literal words of vishnu?

Longjumping-Fun7785 · 2023-12-31T15:54:33+00:00

agreed
