everpresent
there are different portrayals of buddha
the fat one is just one kind
true
it's just a meme
fat n happy
y but i kinda find it amusing
the belly is supposed to be where your center of chi is or something to that effect
metaphors for prosperity
measures of potential
worshipping someone who appears imperfect
your core
@profagonist could be very possibly
buddhism is gay though
@The Enlightened Shepherd no what profagonist said is accurate
I'll say what i say to everyone, read Evola's take on it
it's just another religion
right action
more like
reflection of cultural values more than anything else
Definitelly and decidedly, it's not theism
@diversity_is_racism my gf wont shut up about spending time at the computer
how do you handle it
do you reach back like a pimp and slap a ho
there are forms of buddhism that are more theistic
Buddhism can generally most accuratelly be described as ascetic discipline, and only if you consider the wide folklore practices of Asia can it be categorized also as religion
For example, Mongolian Buddhism, which is in fact an elaborate fusion of folklore, magic, shamanism and some aspects of Vayjrajana Buddhism
sure
describe christianity
writ large
same discrepancy
Primitive Buddhism is more of a discipline than faith
"primitive"
?
Buddhism without folklore
Buddhism from Buddha's own words as found in Pali canon
alright so practices that
who*
apart from KATHODOS DOT COM
Generally speaking Theravadan Buddhists, but this distinction is meaningless
