/r/buddhism
complete devotion to their god
Utter cancer
God damn
thats fucking stupid
Im sorry but Id rather blow my brains out then go on reddit
Even people take away the Religious aspect of it or say “Oh those are just metaphors”
>thats literally all that buddhism is structured upon
>complete devotion to their god
well not exactly but
you know what i mean bro
theres still plenty of religious elements
Every religion has their rules
monks i mean G
Like bitch
Why are you tryna escape samsara then?
thats not true either
lol
seriously?
i been fed lies g
These people ffs
whatever im not very uhhhh knowledgeable about buddhism
on god?
yeah i mean they deny the existence of spiritual realms and gods and religious practices used in buddhism
Multiple gods
ive only really delved into religion in the last like two years
yeah they have gods but theyre not normal gods, theyre devas and are of a lower rank than buddhas/bodhisatvvas
The Gods are bounded to Samsara so they age and die and therefore should not be looked upon for saving
well they arent completely ignored
they are still pretty important just not the end goal basically
If you want that, Then Buddhas/Bodhisattvas are the way to go
gotcha
For example: Amitabha Buddha, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva
all solid niggas right there
Amitabha is the most Popular of the Buddhas because of his ability to save beings who recite his name or have faith in him
as said in his 18th vow
in the Larger Sukhavati Sutra
Honestly I'd say every religion is interesting
^
except judaism fuck them
take the perennialism pill
But even if I were to turn to one religion it would be christianity
