Should I start reading Shankara? I was originally interested in Buddhism because popular culture glorified the Buddha and said that his doctrine was “scientific,” but I am beginning to see how wrong I was to follow the opinion of the herd. Buddhism is filled with contradictions—more contradictions than perhaps even the Abrahamic religions—and it does not match up with experience. I can no longer wake up every day and tell myself that I do not exist when my eternal Self, brighter and more radiant than the sun, is always present and self-revealing. I just can’t do it. I am imploring the Advaitins of /lit/ to show me the true way!

Where do I start with Shankara? I was once a Christian, but I lost all faith in my superstitions after witnessing the divine intellect of the Advaitins on /lit/. They valiantly and irrevocably refute all the sophistic Buddhists that invade their threads with cope, showing them to be nothing more than fools, half-men and nihilists. I am afraid that I am not worthy of such grace and knowledge, but I cannot turn back now that my heart has been opened to the Truth.

Buddhism has two forms: nihilism or crypto-Vedanta (Mahayana, Buddha-nature, etc.) Shankara is the only way.

>My guess is that in their eyes, its exotic beliefs and aesthetics give it an authority western religions generally can't mount anymore.
I think the main issue is that they haven’t read Shankara yet, so they’re still in the darkness of crypto-materialism.

Christcucks, I have discovered that I am that God you speak of through the enlightened teaching of Shankara. I want a temple built in my honor. I am that I am.
