"You will cease to exist!" "Phew," said the Buddhist. "Thank God!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jotari Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Don't know if the Buhhist would say thank god. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Alear Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I can't tell if the Buddhist hates Soul and wants him annihilated, or pities Soul and wants him annihilated. But do we have any Buddhists on this forum? Well, I guess there's a high chance we have a few at least... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original idea of Buddhism was that, by achievement enlightenment and escaping the cycle of reincarnation, you would finally stop existing and therefore stop suffering as well. I don't know if that's the common view nowadays but it's at least the more compelling and ancient one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, the guy that makes all those weirdly personal topics. Edited August 12, 2022 by Jotari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
