mayb you should try buddhism and reading on the tao i think you'll help you on your path

I have decided to live by my own philosophy. Not that of anyone else. Any kind of Buddhism would not be for me as it's core teachings definitely do not match my philosophy.

there is buddhist the religion and the philosophy.

the philosophy preaches universal truth about the self i.e we're all one from the same source and suffering we feel is only of the ego through greed and desire

There are 5 particular rules that all Buddhists abide by -



I believe the taking of life to be necessary on occasion.
I agree that theft is wrong
I believe that sexual misconduct, as Buddhists would see it, should be encouraged. Not paedophilia or rape but an exploration of one's sexuality and what pleases them is important to the understanding of the self and healthy for one's mental state.
I believe that occasionally it is necessary to lie to protect oneself, though I avoid it wherever possible.
I believe that responsible use and exploration of intoxicants and altered states of mind can be pleasurable and healthy.

Buddhism is not for me.

thats if you choose to live the monastery life. if you're a truth seeker you'd definitely have a read on buddhist before being narrow minded about it

e/ thats not what buddhist teaches btw. it advocates free will and love, do what you want because you're perfect as is. what you mentioned are just guidelines to reach higher states of awareness

Sila is the foundation of buddhist ethics. The rules I have listed are ones that all Buddhists follow. Those who wish to live the monastary life have further rules they have to follow.

I am not ignorant of the practices and tenets of the Buddhist faith. Though I cannot say I have a firm grasp on all the intricacies of the many different kinds of Buddhist faith I can say with certainty that I know and understand the basic rules and principles that are common to all Buddhists.

you have no idea wtf you're talking about

I know exactly what I am talking about.

Buddhism is about the cessation of suffering as it says in the article you posted -



The truth of the path leading to cessation of Dukkha is dependant on the type of suffering you are experiencing. One of the main tenets I disagree with is that if you are suffering because you want something you don't have then you should cease to want it.

I believe that if you are suffering because you want something you don't have then that is natural. It is what drives us to achieve the things we desire. That hurt and suffering should drive us to greater heights and we should never simply be content with what we have.

so why do they call it satanism when in the eyes of the vast majority, 'satan'ism is something terrible
