Why these larpers get in Handuims and only talk and do mumbo jumbo all day long wearing ugly ass haf clothes and never talks about cleaning India or any dirty rivers
>>130674
He's actually a really, really nice guy, even met him once, very smart, in his lay-life he was an oxford phy prof, and as a monk I love listening to him talk, simple, and he's really really funny
>>130684
Who knows, but cleaning india is stuff for christians and sc community to do, everyone knows that lol. He is white, why would he care about which nashun to clear.
>>130674
Also he's not, in India... He spent most of his monastic life in Thailand, then in Australia, and he actually was cut off from the Ajahn Chah monastic line (but ofc, still a monk) because of his decision to allow bhikkunis, so he's actually a really great guy who cares about people too.
>>130696
He is not IN THE NASHUN, he is not living in India, he actually manages the monastery in Serpentine Australia, gives talks to cancer patients to help with pain relief, ofcourse many talks and helping people with their lives, he does a lot
>>130695
But he really is white though, i am not saying he is hindu either. I am just saying even if he was, the nation is not his problem. Pajeet are Pajeet in the end, they could be of any faith, and they are pajeet.
>>130700
No i said that other anon is assuming just because he follows a dharmica faith it has to make him entitled to do something to help india.
I am simply saying no he does not. If i took greek paganism, i wont have to suddenly worry about greece. The nation is a pajeet issue, not a hindu issue or buddhist issue. I have said nothing that disagrees with your take or stance.
>>130706
Fair, sorry most people who use the word pajeet often just mean to kang on hating themselves. Yea, ur right, but Im sure if he was in India he would help out
>>130701
Nah, other way arround, majority of timmy dont give two shit about stuff like religion. Some became paganist since christianity pushed globohomo, except for hardcore christians and evangelicals, who are still christcucks.
>>130707
White buddhists are often more serious since many thai buddhists ordain temporarily, and many tibetans etc never really meditate.
>>130709
The buddha would not agree with this statement, anon
>>130708
>Fair, sorry most people who use the word pajeet often just mean to kang on hating themselves.
No, i mean i agree. I just dont get why people think if all Pajeets followed any other faith things will magically be very different. They are still the same pajeets kek. I am giving them a very needed reality check.
>Yea, ur right, but Im sure if he was in India he would help out
I agree, he probably would. Its not like he has to, he neither lives here nor he is ethnically a jeet lol. None of this is his monkey or his circus.
>>130697
I have seen enough of these timmy larpers they take ritual and religious practices form here and then talk nonsense all day long and scam low IQ janta. Sage
>>130689
Bro come out of your cocoon these fun layman talks from old texts is nothing fancy
>>130715
>White buddhists are often more serious since many thai buddhists ordain temporarily, and many tibetans etc never really meditate.
I know this personally kekda, got some of those in my friend circle kekek.
>>130716
I think its better to have few people with actuall faith be part of it rather than try to be inclusive. Everyone else being agnostic is better for both the faith and people. Yet no one is ready for that conversation kek.
>>130716
Frankly "white buddhist" is not a correct term, buddhists lose everything, as a monk, they dont hold identities or even old names, it is just peoples view.
>>130718
I mean, you have seen many timmy larpers larp, I have seen many buddhists who come from a white ethnic origin not be larpers, and be genuinely kind people, so what? Your life and your perspective, my life and mine.
>Bro come out of your cocoon these fun layman talks from old texts is nothing fancy
Except, there is, buddhism is a practice, it cant even be a religion, because you need to do things to achieve enlightment, which is a real thing, and it changes everything, buddhism isnt about following gods or doing rituals, it is a real path that literally changes you, that you cannot intuit yourself in an afternoon. "Layman" is the wrong term
>>130735
>>130733
I think it's a fairly good path. Once you strip life off of its bullshit you realize that you only really need to eat and have shelter, and have peace, its hard for many to stomach that truth, but in the end, all of this running around is just striving and suffering. Desire was never termed as a bad thing, tanha was and tanha is this sort of NEED, or else its over.
Im too young and not ready to ordain, I dont think I ever will be, but I find that life peaceful
>>130742
Most buddhists just do idol worship like hindus instead of reading the philosophy and scriptures tbh
It's just the new converts who do the most and act like there is some profound life-changing crap when in all honestly every dharmic religion that came ripped off from vedas and Upanishads.
>>130747
At first I was also sort of jarred by seeing and listening to white buddhist monks, but honestly listening to him, I dont see him as "white" or whatever, he's, he comes across as much more closer to the values we have, or atleast whatever we got through osmosis from buddhism, just listen to him talk, he's not western, maybe he was at a point, but no, not really. Infact sometimes I hear him talk about his life and I realize how, im much more western than he is.
>>130755
I dont know what to reply to this, I dont really care what other people do, but the buddhas words and lessons are actually, genuinely life changing, should you understand it.
>Ripped off from the vedas
And the Vedas were a transmission of oral mythos from PIE, which were probably something else, so on and so on...
>>130761
Again, something uniquely old indian about Indiachan, we really, really love to hammer in this point of "originality" as if that ever matters. Indians Ive seen love to say, oh its copied, not original, copy. This applies into anything that is a descendant, it's like saying the son is not true, because the father was original!
Ofcourse the Buddha learned from many people, but he developed his own insight too, and ofcourse its all written in Indic languages, because thats all they HAD at the time, and ofcourse they use elements of gods, because thats what everyone understood
>>130772
I prefer advaita's views on the awareness, and the only thing I cant really get along with is the idea of reincarnation, and how that affects the idea of no permanent self and all that
>>130778
No im a Savarna but I dont like castism either, but nor am I all blue about it because that's just another arguement that I cant be bothered to rack my head over
>>130755
>that came ripped off from vedas and Upanishads.
Not...really, thats not how it works tbh, there is truth to how it ripped a bunch of stuff from Attharva veda and few upanishad later on, as well as tantrika sampraday.
However majority of Nastika, starting from Ajivika were dundamentally not in agreement with vedanta or astika sects on general. As a result of which you cant say its a "rip off" bur most vedanta, be it dwaita amd adwaita mogs nastika sects brvtally.
>>130784
Being a blue fag has nothing to do with savarna or avarna. It has to do with having braincells or not. Plenty of OBC savarnas, plenty of pro bhim UR, while lot of Dalits that speak against it, not that any of it is related to this tho.
>>130785
This mogs that, always goes on, how does it affect anyone of us in our individual lives? None, just meditate if you want to, live a calm life, and ejoy
Thats why I like Ajahn Brahm, because his advice is life related, which is what buddhism should be, not just scriptures
>>130786
Its so, idk strangely daft to bring caste in everywhere but hey, what was I expecting out of my favourite website, haha
>>130742
>Once you strip life off of its bullshit you realize that you only really need to eat and have shelter, and have peace, its hard for many to stomach that truth,
The way i think of it is, those who do not wish to persue greatness are not yet ready for moksha and they should engage with life in materialism as all people always had. However those who dont engage with it should end up being buddhist, and become a society of their own, knowing they are commiting to it for good. It is a win win over all, well it was untilk Navayana ended up raping the image of Baudh dharma in subcon
>>130791
Ive spent time in monasteries and Ive asked monks if I should ordain, most of them, knowing my situation said no, Im young, and I havent lived life much, and frankly Ive been told that I would most likely not be ready for it, maybe not at all in this life, haha
>>130789
Too much censorship and way too much circlejerking, though this is not any better either, it has just become different flavour of same thing, with troons and fags
>>130795
Indiachans format is nice, you can just start a post simply, but see, I started a post on Ajahn Brahm, and now we're talking about caste and allat, its upsetting but not that much, what else do we expect
