No distinction between ascetics and laypeople. Trying to get the entire population to adopt the same ascetic vows as the monks(only fewer of them) is what made the entire religion absolutely cringe.

Now you have monks telling laymen that they have to be celibate to advance spiritually. Now you have the creation of Buddhist classes of people that are even lower than untouchables in India such as the Burakumin in Japan just because people need to fucking eat buuuuuut making the food is absolutely haram because muh first precept.

At the time of it's original cultivation, it was great, people heard what they needed to and for every, well, lecture given by the Buddha everyone learned something different based on their lives. I think that, like one anon said, there could have been better distinction of laypeople/monks.

Also the fact it spread so much meant that different cultures and previous religions mixed in which helped it stray further from the path to objectivity. In reality, I think the idea of reincarnation shouldn't have been emphasized (which the Buddha himself is written to have said") and it should have been more focused on meditation.

Desire is not something you can control. Buddhism expects biological meat machines to have super human properties.
Meditation, awareness can ease suffering, but can't make you become impervious to it.
If someone pokes with you with a sharp stick it will hurt you, and you will try to avoid it. You can spend years of your life numbing yourself to this, telling yourself mental games about how you're just desiring for an unreasonable "pain free" life, how you should just accept things, but if the stick is sharp enough, and the poking is strong enough, your body will move away from it.

You are a biological machine. Whether you believe in dualism or monism, it's irrelevant. There are limits to your physical body. Escaping desire is a stupid notion.

It's not about controlling desire, but changing your relationship to it. Imagine your desires are a movie being projected on a screen. Most people think they are the screen, but they're actually in the audience watching the movie unfold. Your desires will always be there. In Advaita Vedanta, one is taught:

> You are not the body, nor is the body yours, nor are you the doer of actions or the reaper of their consequences. You are eternally pure consciousness, the witness, in need of nothing — so live happily.

Which is fascinating because it is in line with claiming the body is a biological machine. It really is! It has a will of its own, the body is the doer of actions amd reaper of their consequences. Yet, who is the one that perceives the signals from the body?

it may seem obvious in retrospect but just about every important early Buddhist philosopher and the founders of the early Buddhism schools with very few exception all falsely believed that he taught a "no-self" doctrine. The first exception to this is Asanga, and then some of the various Mahayana Sutras also talk about this and then later one there are a few Vajrayana and Chan thinkers who have similar positions.
>>14901267
>Buddha denied all doctrines relating directly to substantial self,
Buddha never actually properly describes and thus never actually denies the teachings of the Upanishads in the Pali Canon. In any case the transcendental Supreme Self of the Upanishads has nothing to do with the self that the Buddha talks about. In every single instance of the Buddha using "self" in the Pali Canon, none of them describe things which are the Supreme Self, which is not a substance; but he only uses them with reference to things like the mind and ears, body etc which Vedanta agrees are not the Supreme Self
>>14901446
>No such thing.
That's incorrect anon, the teaching of the Supreme Self is found in the earliest Upanishads which predate Buddhism by several hundred years such as the Brihadanaranyaka and Chandogya Upanishads.

For example it's mentioned in this Chandogya verse 6.15.2.

"Then when his speech merges into his mind, his mind into prāṇa, his prāṇa into the heat in his body, and the heat into the Supreme Self, he no longer knows them."

Buddha never actually attacked or offered any refutation of any of the Upanishads which had already been circulating around India for several hundred years before him. Buddhists invented a mythos which they find comforting about Buddha defeating the ideas of Hinduism in debate but Buddha never actually addressed the ideas that would soon come to form the very center of Hindu thought. In fact in the one Sutta in the whole Pali Canon in which one argue that something resembling an Upanishadic doctrine is the Brahma-nimantanika Sutta (MN 49) in which Brahma-Baka in a few brief sentences mentions the idea of the Absolute (as an intelligence or entity which is) constant, permanent, birthless and deathless; but here the Buddha funny enough despite his reputation among Buddhists doesn't actually offer any good arguments for why it's wrong but instead just has to rely on his display of magic superpowers instead to turn invisible in order to win the debate through a display of powers.

Thanks for the quality post.

I think what Anon was saying is that the Advaita interpretation of the Upanishads only appeared in the historical scene after the Buddha. We know this because its main proponent Shankara was involved in polemics against Buddhists. Whether the authors of the early Upanishads themselves were sort of non dualists or whether they were thinking of something along the lines of qualified non dualism like Ramanuja’s, or some mystic union with a theistic deity like even some Christian mystics, that we don’t know.

This is true we cannot know this for sure but I myself am more convinced by the case for Shankara's interpretation being more accurate. Only Shankara wrote lengthy commentaries on the Upanishads where he explains word-for-word their meaning and where he explains how other interpretations are inconsistent with the texts or illogical. Ramanuja only wrote commentaries on the Brahma Sutras and Gita. The orientalists Paul Deussen and Max Muller both wrote that they considered the Upanishads to have a consistent Advaitic teaching to them as have some modern scholars.
>or some mystic union with a theistic deity like even some Christian mystics, that we don’t know.
The only way someone could think this was a possibility would be if they had not read the Upanishads very closely themselves as the Upanishads specifically rule out this possibility. Among other places this is discussed in the very first section of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad where it talks about how Prajapati (i.e. Brahmā) the world-creator despite his exalted existence is still subject to suffering and fear, and that souls can attain a temporary union with him but that there is a higher attainment connected with the Supreme Self which is moksha. When Buddha says in the Pali Canon that the attainment of union with Brahma was not the true attainment of the unborn and deathless he was discussing a concept which had already been taught a few centuries earlier in Brihadaranyaka Upanishad.

That citation doesn't stand up to scrutiny, in the Katha Upanishad in that passage it's not occurring in the context of any discussion of any sort of Vaishnavite-like or other typical devotional heaven but rather where that occurs in chapter one part three we find verses describing a liberation from worldly and conditioned existence. The verse they are citing is verse 1.3.9. of the Katha Upanishad:

'A man who has discrimination for his charioteer and holds the reins of the mind firmly, reaches the end of the road; and that is the supreme position of Vishnu.'

The chapter has 17 verses and is about liberation and what is needed to attain it, in verses 7 and 8 it describes discrimination, spiritual insight etc leading to one becoming freed from rebirth, and in verse 15 from the chapter describing the attaining of this highest achievement which the same chapter calls the supreme abode of Vishnu it says the following which doesn't resemble heaven:

Katha 1.3.15: 'Having realised Atman, which is soundless, intangible, formless, undecaying and likewise tasteless, eternal and odourless; having realised That which is without beginning and end, beyond the Great and unchanging−one is freed from the jaws of death.'

That verse wasn't actually made to offer 'argumentation' (Buddha himself actually advised against being an autistic 'debate-bro' douchebag like Shankara), it was more allegorical which is funny coming from someone who's versed in the Upanishads, a text which makes the PC look like a science text book in comparison. Also quite funny you mention the mythos of Buddha defeating Hindus in debate when Hindus themselves absolutely love to gloat in their own texts that they LOGICALLY DESTROYED Buddhists in debate. In fact Advaitins to this day still maintain the idea that Shankara traveled throughout all of India and 'humiliated' all non-Advaitins to the point that they 'accepted Advaita' (despite being a minority position among Hindus even back then), they are proud of this unsubstantiated belief.

based. the push for buddhism needs to come to an end in the West. the Buddha's purpose was literally to track atheists, which is also why buddhism is so big right now in the West. start with a Gita, you will be thankful that you did. https://www.asitis.com/

Pretty much. Buddhism basically refuted Vedism and molded modern Indian thought for generations to come. What we call Hinduism is basically a shadow of Buddhist practices and theory implanted onto ethnic Vedic rituals.

Im not an idiot, how is this supposed to help me/better me in any way. Throwing around references to things that happened months ago for either your own entertainment or to feel like youre punishing me. Yes i was a stuck up asshole feeling better than others when i got carried along, but a huge part of that was social isolation and internet addiction. I feel a lot better and haven't been depressed/anxious for over a week now. I just don't get why people still can't let this go. I wasnt lying when i said this traumatized me. I've never been as close to suicide as I was at the end of january. I was convinced everyone in my school/circle of friends knew about everything id been doing online for the last months and didnt want anything to do with me ever again. Took me considerable time to find out that wasn't the case and stop the constant barrage of images and messages i was regurgitating over and over. From the outside it might've looked like i was insane or not taking it seriously, but ive never felt worse in my life. Kind of ashamed to admit something like that could affect me this much, but it did and i never wanna experience anything like that again. Im still not sure how much of what i believe about the situation is actually real, but at least some of it has to be

He trolling. He was a pampered prince, through no fault of his own though. His dad heard the prophecy that his son would be an emperor, but if he saw suffering he would renounce the world and become a Buddha. The old man did everything in his power so that our boy Siddhartha would become an emperor but alas, we know what happened.
