Pali is such a ridiculous language, entirely made up by monks thousands of years ago in an attempt to distinguish it from Sanskrit. However it ultimately just looks like retarded Sanskrit. Linguistics aside though, Theravadins are onto something, maybe

Whoever there may be with a breath of life, trapped by greed for so long in sansāra, may they be free of fear and attachment without exception.

Those who are seen or unseen, those dwelling far or near, those born as well as those seeking birth, may all beings attain Nibbāna.

May no one deceive another and treat all like family. May they not wish each other harm, and by seeing the unfruitful nature of this world, may they be free of suffering.

Just as a mother would protect her only child with her life, may this protection affect all beings on an equal footing.

May all cultivate loving-kindness towards every being equally, those who live above, below, or across. May all be unhindered and without hate.

Great attitude. A truly rational take on samsara

To what degree is attachment to my wife, child and home holding me back from escaping Samara?

There's an endless list of problems with Christianity. First, the essense of the religion is that a magic man will return one day and magic away all the evil magically. This creates passive two-more-weeks retards. Second, Jesus has never actually saved anyone. The world is still full of sin and death. Why did Jesus die? Everything is identical before and after he died
>he defeated death, and died for our sins, so that all may have eternal life
Everyone still sins. Everyone dies. All Christians I know rot in the ground just like everyone else. Jesus accomplished literally nothing and his followers sacrifice their only life in pursuit of a lie

Compare this to the Buddha who very clearly says that no one is coming to save you, only you can save yourself

>This creates passive two-more-weeks retards
Most of the problems secularists have with christianity is that it's followers don't actually practice the religion. The NT talks much about being moral and living life DESPITE the fact that Jesus may come back at any moment.
>Jesus has never actually saved anyone. The world is still full of sin and death. Why did Jesus die? Everything is identical before and after he died
You're complaining about something that YOU want from christianity. You think that's how the religion should work, but Jesus was a spiritualist, not a pragmatist. He never said that his sacrifice would physically alter the world, he said that it would spiritually alter the world. (In all fairness his did claim that EVENTUALLY he would physically alter the world).
>Everyone still sins. Everyone dies. All Christians I know rot in the ground just like everyone else. Jesus accomplished literally nothing and his followers sacrifice their only life in pursuit of a lie
We'll see. I'm not willing to forgo the idea of a christian afterlife just because 2k years have passed. In the bible, miracles are hundreds or thousands of years apart. The timeline is not completely out of line yet. I'm not retarded though. I understand that if 4k or 6k years have passed since his resurrection, that would be a bit more suspicious. But how do I know Jesus isn't purposefully letting planet earth run out of resources and fall apart before he comes back to save everyone?

I used your script. Thanks for the help. I should warn you that it took me another 30 mins of troubleshooting to learn that my video files were left in the old folder.

>The NT talks much about being moral and living life DESPITE the fact that Jesus may come back at any moment
Christian morality is Satanic though. In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus literally told his followers to "resist not evil" and to be kind, even generous, to their abusers. He also recommended not planning for the future at all. You really should read the Sermon on the Mount. It's basically his first teaching scene in the Bible

>Most of the problems secularists have with christianity is that it's followers don't actually practice the religion
The issue with Christians is they think that they have already won and therefore nothing really matters. Faith alone has saved them already

>You're complaining about something that YOU want from christianity. You think that's how the religion should work, but Jesus was a spiritualist, not a pragmatist
Jesus claimed to defeat both sin and death, yet both remain. It's that simple

>how do I know Jesus isn't purposefully letting planet earth run out of resources and fall apart before he comes back to save everyone?
I personally know Christians that litter because one day Jesus will return and "make this world a paradise"

All of these Pali words are completely unnecessary. They make your chart unreadable

Friendly reminder that no one in the history of the world ever spoke Pali. Even most (all?) Theravadin monks couldn't read it until western linguists taught them how
>Theravadins spent more than 1000 years illiterate, not meditating because they forgot how, and merely chanting lines in a language they could't understanding because they think it's magic
>this is why Mahayanists called them "hearers" ie shravakas in their own texts, because all they evet did was chant and hear magic words from the Pali Canon

"Whenever you want to do an act with speech, you should reflect on it: 'These words I want to speak—would they lead to self-harm, to the affliction of others, or to both? Would it be unskillful speech, with painful consequences, hurtful results?' If, on reflection, you know that it would lead to self-harm, to the affliction of others, or to both; it would be unskillful speech with painful consequences, hurtful results, then anything you would say of that sort is absolutely unfit for you. But if on reflection you know that it would not cause affliction... it would be skillful, moral speech with pleasant consequences and happiness as its result, then anything of that sort is fit for you to say.

"While you are doing an act with speech, you should reflect on it: 'These words I am speaking—are they leading to self-harm, to the affliction of others, or to both? Is it unskillful speech, with painful consequences, hurtful results?' If, on reflection, you know that it is leading to self-harm, to affliction of others, or both... you should give it up. But if on reflection you know that it is not... you may continue speaking.

"Having done an act with speech, you should reflect on it: 'These words I have spoke—did they lead to self-harm, to the affliction of others, or to both? Was it unskillful speech, with painful consequences, hurtful results?' If, on reflection, you know that it led to self-harm, to the affliction of others, or to both; it was unskillful speech with painful consequences and hurtful results: then you should confess it, reveal it, clarify such a deed to the Teacher or a sensible spiritual companion. Having confessed it... you should exercise restraint in the future. But if on reflection you know that it did not lead to affliction... it was skillful, moral speech with pleasant consequences and happiness as its result, then you should stay mentally refreshed & joyful, training day & night in skillful qualities."

You can't translate most Pali terms into any other language. You don't learn Pali, you don't reach nibbana, because you miss the critical meanings that can't be translated.

>>111728
You're joking. It's all just retarded Sanskrit
>Nibbana = Nirvana
>Viñññna (lol) = Vijñana
It's all like this

>>111727
Pali Canon is good stuff, despite the silly language
