Why aren't YOU trying to reach Nirvana? Anonymous 05/15/26 (Fri) 06:06:08 No.111133 [Reply]

No, I don't mean the band, but enlightenment.
>fedoralords rejoice, for Buddhism is not a religion: you're SUPPOSED to doubt, question, debate what the Buddha and the Ariyas taught, for that is the only way one gains wisdom beyond book knowledge
>understanding that life is stupid and pointless, again a perfect fit for edgy atheists
>not addicted to sense-pleasures anymore because you realize it's never worth it because you'll always lose what you like and get what you don't want, including your life, and probably suffer tremendously from the consequences of your actions after all that bad karma ("karma" is but the law of cause-and-effect: simply the bed you made after committing immoral acts with hate, greed, and/or ignorance) accrued by pursuing but a drop of fleeting joy
>along the way towards achieving enlightenment: living a simple, moral life feels good, man; one must at least obey the conventional five precepts of not killing, stealing, lying, engaging in sexual misconduct, or using excessive amounts of alcohol and other addictions (like doomscrolling and vidya all day erry day) to chill out long enough to strive towards uprooting hate, greed, and ignorance
>you CAN meditate in a way that you "feel" a taste of Nirvana even in this very life by temporarily suppressing the five hindrances that keep your mind perpetually agitated ("the eyes are fire, the ears are fire..."); we who are inept worldly beings are stressed out ALL THE TIME but we don't know better until a Buddha arises to tell us how to quit it because that's the only thing we've ever experienced, think of Nirvana as the relief after having an endless traumatic headache your entire life, nothing esoteric about it
>eventual ego death at the fourth and final stage: you will be nothing and be happy, a "happiness" of total cooling down from the agitation caused by craving and karmic consequences that is only achievable by total erasure the of hate, greed, and ignorance that keep you trapped by thirst for fruitless fun
And all you gotta do is comprehend, even a tiny bit, the three characteristics of the world: anicca, dukkha, anatta. And no, anicca does NOT mean impermanence, dukkha means a lot more than mere pain and sorrow as we know it, and anatta does NOT mean no-self. And Nirvana isn't sPost too long.

The following chart illustrates the problem of word-for-word translations of suttas, especially when applied to those in short utterance (uddesa) form which lead to all sorts of misunderstandings! Most of us need niddēsa (brief descriptions) or the paṭiniddēsa (detailed explanations) form, which require understanding many terms that cannot be translated into other languages in a single word and even a short phrase only scratches the surface -- for example, anicca as "impermanence" vs "we cannot maintain anything to our satisfaction in the long run" (na + icca or nicca; negation of icca or nicca = liking, expectation; we expect our efforts to bear fruit and get lasting happiness that way, we would like not to get diseased and would like not to die, but the Buddha told us every aspect of existence -- including "our" bodies and minds -- has the anicca nature: we suffer when we cannot get or keep what we desire and suffer when we can't stay away from what we don't want in the wrong view or mistaken belief [micchā diṭṭhi] that there is something, somewhere, with nicca nature) and anatta as "no-self" when (while one aspect of it is there is no unchanging, everlasting essence like a soul or atma as opposed to a given beginningless lifestream of five aggregates that keeps evolving according to the principle of cause-and-effect) it's really saying "there is no refugee anywhere in the world" and "becoming helpless in the rebirth process, especially when reborn in the four lower realms which one INEVITABLY WILL in the long run until at the very least stream-entry" (na + atta; negation of atta = beneficial, meaningful, refugee, with essence). And now you see in this self-demonstrating post why word-for-word translations keep one from Nibbāna!

Verses of the Elder Sumedhā

In the city of Mantāvatī,
of king Koñca and his main queen-consort,
she was the daughter Sumedhā,
confident in those complying with the Teaching.

Virtuous, eloquent,
very learned, and disciplined in the teaching of the Buddha.
She approached her mother and father and said:
"Both of you, listen!

I seek the joy of Nirvana,
as all states of existence - even divine - are temporary.

She had already entered it,
when Anīkaratta came to the town.
Then in the palace, Sumedhā
cultivated well the perception of impermanence.

As she fixed the mind intently on this,
Anīkaratta quickly ascended.
With limbs adorned with gold and gems,
in añjali, he implored Sumedhā:

"As a queen there is authority, wealth, sovereignty,
fortune, and pleasure.
You are a young lady, enjoy sensual pleasures!

Not really. It's difficult when your learning process is analytical and it's not something you can focus on and brute force consequence-free either.

Yes, it is very difficult, and the consequences are clear and present for chronic misfits with abnormal upbringing. It is exhausting and demoralizing to spend your whole life being treated by many like every damn thing you do, say, think, feel, and believe is wrong or unwelcome. Common-sense counsel won't work for people who happen to be statistical outliers and that really sucks. That doesn't mean you're "less than", there's nothing wrong with you at all. That also doesn't mean you aren't stuck with disregarding most folk wisdom as largely irrelevant suggestion. Not your fault, but it's sadly your responsibility as no one's coming to save you. That is harsh, but so is life.

If you find or are given advice or instruction, ask yourself: how much is the advice-giver like myself? If "not at all", maybe do or believe the opposite. You must learn discernment, what to regard and what to discard whether through one or other glowing rectangle (even some dead blog or sub-50-followed channel of a random nobody who clearly went through what you're going through), some underrated fiction or lyrics writer who may or may not have "meant it", a religious-philosophical-whatever loudmouth from thousands of years ago (or just a handful of decades), it doesn't matter. The shape and color of the bottle is unimportant, read only the message within. But knowing what bottles to avoid or open in the first place also requires well-honed and well-oiled discernment! Whether or not you're engaging or theorizing in science to aid your situation -- which is an excellent toolset of discernment for those whose learning process is analytical, so long as one avoids the pit of dogmatic "scientism" -- consider the following cherry-picks (only the picks that apply here) from some other page that happens to be scientific approached to Buddhism by a physicist with a Ph. D, but all that's irrelevant in this thread (the message, not the bottle):

> Today, we are fortunate to have a well-established scientific method to rule out "bad theories" and focus on "good theories." ...
> What is the "scientific method"?
> An acceptable "theory" must have,
> • power (ability) to explain as many things that we experience in this world,

>Women love a man who listens, who is like a tree or a mountain...
Why else would so many women voraciously consume self-insert "beauty and the beast" style romance novels and bodice-rippers about vampires, werewolves, and so on? ("Women don't watch porn, but they read the shit out of it!") Even the earliest known story, the Epic of Gilgamesh, has the subplot of Enkidu where a woman "tames" the wild man demigod or something like that. So clearly this feeling of dangerous men who nevertheless loves and protects her resonates with women on a primal level. Wouldn't you, too, like to be her "wild man", her "dormant volcano" who CAN erupt if she and both your children (current or potential future) are under threat?

Trying to stick to criticizing ideas and not people here, but: NAXALTing has to be THE most banal and bottom-of-the-barrel of captain obvious clapbacks anyone can utter! It's even less insightful than "water is wet", more akin to "don't like it, don't use it" and "where's YOUR good art/etc?" in its trite absurdity. And you might notice that nearly no one emotionally knee-jerks "not all!" in defense of heterosexual males, Christians, the politically right- or even center-leaning, Europeans, and so on. This alone should make reactionary NAXALTing suspect. (Would have liked not to use an AI maymay, but that pseudointellectually smug expression is perfect.)

If you do the math on, for example, a mortgage, you'll see how you across decades buy the bank multiple homes! This is one of many "poor people tax" traps around, as a rich person can just buy a house in one go and not pay interest, and at any time sell it at no loss (or even at profit!) depending on the real estate market at the time.

you post videos and pictures of obviously underrage girls in a context that implies that you are sexually attracted to them, the admin and mods here put up with it too because in some part they are also pedophiles

im being serious, being invested in fake storylines will make your brain make storylines up to entertain itself, which is inherrantly a bad thing because there will then be no limits and you could get trapped in a storyline of torment or unending-ness

trust me, escapism is not the answer
