ever since i learned what buddhism was from 6th grade social studies I wanted to follow it...until I stopped thinking religion was the way

yea I'll never be religious tbh but I do wanna learn more about Buddhism

out of all religions it speaks to me the most, the goal is to reach enlightenment, detach yourself from the material world because all it brings is suffering, and once you reach that you won't have to exist (i.e. suffer) anymore

I liked the idea of reaching peace on this world and only ascending from it, rather than praying and sinning back and forth until God decides to send you to either heaven and hell

I agree that the material world is but an illusion but I don't think existence should be called suffering because of that, we create our own reality so I see it as an opportunity to have as much fun and do as much good as you can cause the deeper down the rabbit hole you go the more you realize the rabbit hole isn't even real

Alice Coltrane is Flying Lotus’s aunt too. Are him and doja related?

edit: oh they’re two different people

wait till you find out who zane lowe’s uncle is

Zane Lowe’s uncle

Y’all getting old with this

I swear most of the successful musicians always end up having some relatives or something that are in the industry or have connections there

Rigvedic chat rooms

first reply renegade

to be on the level of one of these people, you almost always have to be born into a large amount of connections or wealth. Doja doesnt talk about it much but her mom's (Jewish) side of her family is fairly rich. same with Bilie Eilish's family, Ariana Grande's literal billionaire great grandparents.. There's 2 ways to break into the entertainment industry, having a lot money and knowing the right people. if you have both and you're skilled you have a large chance of success.

lol Doja must've wanted the bag more than enlightenment

Idk how you practice Hindu for four years under Alice Coltrane and only make pop songs about p****, but hey, the songs are pretty good.

Bhuddism is goat cause theres no room for dogma ane theres no absolute. Its what made me convert

Where is the one user who hates music industry ties to death lmao

Who in the hell is Zane Lowe’s uncle? Lol

Wait what How did I not know that

im dying

We still don‘t know I think it‘s a KTT insider joke at this point lmao

:hah gotta be. I googled it and a KTT thread came up lol

Existence isnt suffering in buddhism. Dukka is. Dukka means stress, and stress is an everyday thing.
the buddha basically said “we experience stress alot of our lives”

its like how alot people view the buddhist concept of emptiness as something depressing or nihilistic. It just got lost in translation

But yea buddhism easily the goated “religion” although it is a practice as well as it is a religion. You can practice bhuddism secularly as there is no dogmatic god figure at the helm

I suggest you do. I'm an athiest and I love to read up on Buddhism and Hinduism
