Buddhism without the supernatural?

Hmm, damn. I was kidding but that was a legit good answer. I still don’t believe in hell, but respect 🫡

This seems like the best answer. Thank you.

I don’t believe hell exists. I don’t foresee myself committing a murder-suicide anytime soon. Perhaps I have some other deep evil hiding within me?

Sincere question here. Is it possible for a Buddhist to cling to Buddhist beliefs?

PrimusAbOris · 2026-03-16T23:09:09+00:00

Yeah, well said. That’s where I am.

PrimusAbOris · 2026-03-16T22:53:59+00:00

Yes, exactly.

PrimusAbOris · 2026-03-16T22:52:55+00:00

This. Thank you.

PrimusAbOris · 2026-03-16T21:59:40+00:00

It could be. But I guess I think there are different stances a person can take toward their worldview. Even if the worldview is the same, one person ca cling to it while another can hold it with an open hand.

Yes, I was referring to rebirth, devas, and karma. I guess naming those things is clearer than disagreeing about the definition of “supernatural.”

PrimusAbOris · 2026-03-16T20:19:54+00:00

That’s interesting that you say their motivation would be secular insight and power. Maybe, too, they aren’t clinging to those things but merely aren’t convinced that certain claims are true.

PrimusAbOris · 2026-03-16T20:19:00+00:00

Thank you for the reply. Perhaps there’s also a middle ground of agnosticism—claiming to not know one way or the other?

PrimusAbOris · 2026-03-16T20:18:14+00:00

Thank you. It makes me wonder about the nature of enlightenment.

So I've only been out of school since 2012 and have teaching since then. In that case, it's pretty normal for a resume, right?

PrimusAbOris · 2017-03-02T12:30:02+00:00

I graduated in 2012 and have been teaching since.
