As per Indian media, conversion is wrong if a Hindu converts to Buddhism, Islam, or Christianity. But if anyone converts from any religion to Hinduism, it's great.

this may be hard for some of you to believe or accept — on *both* sides of the scissor statement — but most astrology tweets drive me insane, just as most buddhism tweets and nearly ALL judaism tweets drive me insane

People underestimate the power of hedonic adaptation. “I will be so much happier if ___” Only to find there will always be an “if”. Buddhism teaches that happiness = there is no “if”. There is only the present and the choice to program the mind to accept happiness now.

By 40, you need a circle of friends who talk about topics like: • Self-improvement • Personal finance • Personal growth • Early retirement • Physical health • Mental health • Real estate • Buddhism • Investing • Stoicism What do you like to talk about?

Q for Buddhism Twitter: Most ppl become undernourished if they lack a well-balanced diet of activities specifically meaningful to them (eg dancing, charity work, intimacy) Do superawakened ppl need this diet, or does eg doing taxes become just as meaningful as anything else?

Karnataka MLAs (Assurances Committee) have gone to Ladakh on a study tour. Study what? Glaciers, snow, ice deserts, Indo - China border issues, Buddhism? Ladakh currently has no Assembly and no MLAs to meet or no legislative committee . It is a Union Territory. #Karnataka

"If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him" is a proverb for expert practitioners whose strong emotional attachments to Buddhism might hinder them. YOUR problem is that you kill every Buddha you meet and can't figure out why the road feels so empty and disenchanted.

podcaster who converts to tibetan buddhism and immediately condemns the dalai lama as an apostate

If Africa was colonized by the China, we’ll be speaking Chinese language, bearing Chinese names today and be practicing Buddhism today. It’s not your choice that you’re a Christian or moslem or that you speak English and Arabic. It’s a matter of historical violence.

For absolutely no reason at all, remembering that when I was in elementary school, a teacher taught us to "meditate" to clear our minds during our standardized tests and we had to have a second meeting about how we could also pray because parents complained about Buddhism, lol.

Today in mock interview I asked this question: How different India would be today if Buddhism was its major religion? Was expecting holistic and practical answer (ans given was - less communal tensions, more peaceful society- But countered with Myanmar & Sri Lanka examples).

In Satyagraha, Gandhi took the Dharma of ascetics & applied it to politics. In Buddhism, Lord Buddha took the warrior spirit of Kshatriyas & applied it to asceticism. Two very different results.

According to Chesterton (and Spengler), we mistake Buddhism as a rival to Christianity when in reality it is a later stage of development (and degradation) It emerges when the culture has lost its vitality and rationality has taken over Hence it’s popularity in the west now

I’m a little obsessed with my life lately~ I started reading up on Buddhism, improved a ton on my figure skating, I start French lessons on Wednesday, and I’m the soft, romantic version of myself I haven’t seen in a while~ Anyway, I’m my own dream girl 🥰

Its fascinating how almost every person who does psychedelics becomes a neo Buddhist (highly focused on mindfulness, gratitude, etc.). Either this is because psychedelics make you dumber and not want to achieve anything (more likely) or because psychedelics unlock hidden Buddhism

tired of "lmao white people think Buddhism is a philosophy actually it's a batshit crazy religion" because I don't think other white people listing weird stuff they read about Tibetan Buddhism on Wikipedia to make Buddhism sound batshit crazy is really much better

Buddha was a Hindu and Buddhism didn't become an independent religion until several centuries after his passing. Everything else you hear is a big scam.

What I had learned from Buddhism was that I did not have to know myself analytically as much as I had to tolerate not knowing.~Mark Epstein

It is absolutely foolish to bring in Pushyamitra Sunga as a Hindu enemy of Buddha Dharma. The source that is used to make such claims actually also shows how Ashoka killed massively in name of Buddhism including pay for each head.

i think what bothers me about modern buddhism is how much it's driven by people who've never been poor or sick or in pain and have never really been hurt by other people

The entire teaching of Buddhism can be summed up in this way: Nothing is worth holding on to. -- Jack Kornfield

If you are a Christian, there should be no doubt in your mind that there is no other way to the Father other than Jesus Christ. Chakras, energy, vibrations, karma, crystals, Buddhism, Islam, Jehovah’s Witness, Mormonism, Taoism, Confucianism or any other dead religion Cont.⤵️

A scholar tries to learn something everyday; a student of Buddhism tries to unlearn something daily.

Faced with overwhelming public anger at his actions, Min Aung Hlaing may play the nationalist card, trying to whip up anti-Muslim and anti-Rohingya sentiments, pretending he is defending the nation and Buddhism. Releasing racist nationalists from prison increases this concern.

Indians practice Hinduism, Chinese Buddhism, Arabs Islam, Europeans Christianity. Only Africans demonize their heritage & embrace the gods of their invaders.

Self-compassion is life-changing, but only part of the deal. If it is tangled up with too much "self" focus, something is lost. In Buddhism and Behavioral Psych, your "self" is a mental event & you are a part of the flow of life! Deep compassion goes beyond self/other boundaries!

Taoism taught me: -Never force what's not meant to be Stoicism taught me: -It's not the situation but our attitude towards the situation Buddhism taught me: -Always walk the middle way between two pairs of opposites...

Essential Philosophy + Psychology to read for a more fulfilled life: - Stoicism - Growth Mindset - Buddhism/Meditation - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Understand these, and you'll understand life.

Buddhism is void of the duality of good and evil. What Christianity calls “sin” is referred to merely as an attachment in Buddhism. It is a greater comprehension of the unconscious forces that push and pull the human psyche.

Getting into Buddhism so that when the serious pandemic hits it's not actually a problem to just go on retreat for 5 years.

now calling my class on Buddhism Daoism and Shintoism 'my BDSM class' at the suggestion of a close friend

white people misunderstanding Buddhism is funniest when the Dalai Lama has to play along with it. man's a incarnation of Avalokitesvara who got his job because some lamas had a vision about baby him and every time he meets Bono or etc he has to pretend to be The Dude

Buddhism is neither optimistic nor pessimistic it is realistic. Life is unsatisfactory, but it is the mind and the selfish desires of the ego that make it so. Suffering can be overcome by developing a mindset of appreciation, kindness, and compassion.

Allow room for flexibility. You have to always be willing to look at or approach life in a different way. Buddhism tells us that suffering arises from clinging - well, grasping to a belief system or spiritual practice too tightly will do exactly that. It’s counterproductive.

One of the simplest ways to understand the essence of Dharma #Dharmatva 69% of Japanese people follow Shintoism 67% of Japanese people follow Buddhism

Taoism: Don't force what isn't meant to be Stoicism: If you can't change the situation, change your attitude toward it Buddhism: Everything is temporary, so detach and flow with the natural course of life

Breaking: In a very significant development, the Supreme Court asked the Union govt to make its stand clear in three weeks about reservation for schedule caste after they convert to Islam, Christianity or Buddhism.

Buddhism too slow, a whole lifetime to maybe get enlightenment? Come on bestie those are rookie numbers. It's 2022 and we have LSD now, it's time for Buddhism 2. Bring in some speedrunners and psychonauts and we can get that time down to like 6 months.

bodhisattva: In Buddhism, a being who compassionately refrains from entering nirvana in order to save others and lead them to enlightenment. Bodhisattva - Countdown to Ecstasy

Last time it was about the mask and we know what happened… Buddhism is not my religion but I put myself in the place of these people.. and I understand them..so please stay calm… Dm Elle magazine or Günfer… No one is perfect in this world… 🙏🏼
