Like I said before, keep all these posts within one thread.

Once you have more than one paragraph to post of new material on a new topic, feel free to create a thread for it. Now it just clutters the front page.

No buddhism topic, buddhism is a pretty fucking big thing m8

Don't you realize how rigid that is, contribute ty
I'm just interested in discussion becase don't know enough about it
If it's so easy for you just post what's right
Why would this sub have to be just for current news

1. i don't know much about buddhism
2. i didn't learn anything about it from the OP
3. i wasn't compelled to learn about buddhism from the OP
4. you're expecting discussion to happen spontaneously
5. you can find book recommendations all over the internet

5. if a person feels vouchworthy i think personal recommendation is good, maybe you don't find my view vouchworthy but some one might

you're underestimating the importance of the OP in facilitating discussion

yes but if it isn't succesful someone more succesful should fill in
it's better to start a discussion with nothing than not to have it at all imo

You have to say more than "What's up with Buddhism?" mate :lol:

We had a good conversation about this thing within the past couple weeks I'm pretty sure if you look back a page or two, you might find something there worth reading or responding to.

To me the religion, or at least its application I've seen personally in my life, is kind of ironic. On the one hand you have a religion that has a shit load of literature and requires tremendous dedication and on the other you have people applying its "principles" in their lives in the most easily accessible way that requires the least amount of commitment. For example, saying you're a "pacifist" and somehow that makes you somewhat Buddhist to me, anyway, is bullshit. Buddhists/Buddhism didn't invent pacifism, and it is hardly all that they believe in.

From what I remember from school Buddhism just isn't for me. Seems like far too much dedication and I'd rather invest my life/time in something else. Granted, my choice is probably far less worthy than a Buddhist's but I'll live with that.

Don't blame the religion for the warped views westerners have. Buddhism is ultimately about how life is suffering and how to alleviate that suffering.
