all of them are offshoots

they had buddhist councils like christian and muslim councils

yes

buddhism split 100 years after buddha's death

at teh second council

over using money as buddhism prohibits jewelry

well adornisment of the male body

ok enough with the trivial pursuit

how does that make zen the purest

chan/zen is the least doctrinal over minutae

that doesn't answer anything

gautama himself spoke of all manner of spirits, devas and asura

the idea that buddhism is atheistic is a retarded western perspective

bodhidharma was a "blue eyed barbarian" to the chinese, possibly persian or more generally central asian

these concepts exist in zen as well

rejection of bhakti doesn't equal atheism

or even apathy toward divine beings

stupid westerners like to adopt their bastardized version of buddhism because they want a religion but have a bunch of baggage from rebelling against their parents making them go to church when they were kids

or think their own western spiritual tradition is bigoted or some shit

zen still has clear moral precepts regarding sexual conduct and other things

check it out

blame stupid faggots like alan watts and dt suzuki for infecting the western mind with the watered down turn your brain off idiocy that is zen in the west today

christ is king

anātman is incoherent

the iconography is sick though

@MOS MAIORVM (AKA Sola) i'm so tired of shitty electronic trap sounding music and scenes from 300 in alt-right videos

westerners often seem to think that tibetan buddhism is the most enlightened

which would make sense per @fallot since it's occultism and satan is behind all this stuff

it's by far the most obscurantist

which makes it the most attractive

good video @MOS MAIORVM (AKA Sola)

at least the central point is good

europeans have stopped having children and they don't even feel its a big deal

but I've come to recognize

this is a temporary thing

the psychology of it is far more interesting than the demographics

tibetan buddhism is also big on gurus and supposed chains of transmission

and lost westerners love to have a guru

case in point: the huge followings of morons that bearded indian pedophiles get in the west

iskcon too
