Buddhism seems to be the most misstranslated stuff ever.
As we all know the core premise is to get rid of dukkha wich is broadly translated into suffering.
By eliminating greed, hate and ignorance.
But who has ever suffered from his own greed hate or what makes the least sense ignorance.
Like the entire idea of buddishm is to basically be ignorant abput all bad stuff
>oh but it says accepting suffering exists is the first step
No it says accepting dukkha exists is the first step.
Why am i saying this, dukkha doesn't seem to be a word for suffering but evil.
Evil/dukkha = selfishness
Good/nirvana = selflessness
Beacuse its not you who suffers from greed, hate and ignorance its others.

Buddhism is just a clear cut cult honestly
If you followed the ideals, wouldn't kiling yourself be the best way to escape suffering?
Because, desire is the cause of suffering
And the deprivation of life would be the deprivation of desire
>dukkha
isn't it a word for disappointment?

> muh mistranslation
Dukkha doesn't mean evil. It's the stress and unsatisfactoriness of being a grasping, hateful, ignorant faggot. The suffering is YOURS.
> who suffers from their own greed?
Are you for real? Greed makes you a miserable, never-satisfied cuck. Hate burns you up inside. Ignorance keeps you trapped in this cycle like a brainlet.The whole point is you cleanse your own shit-tier mind first. You stop being a source of suffering for yourself, which automatically stops you from being a dick to others.

Dukkha means unease or suffering, not evil. I don't know how you came to that idea.

I actually do suffer from my greed for sex and drugs. It's extremely intense and never ending.
I will sit in my room and do nothing but smoke drugs and look at porn to the detriment of my own life.>but I'm not like that, me going after the things I want has always been the best for me
every woman you've chased after has always been the best for you
every drink you've decided to have has always been the best decision
every time you've looked at someone who has more than you and felt envy, that has been a good thing that only motivates you to move further and faster and harderyou're an ubermensch, we could clone you and humanity would reach the stars in like one generation

Desire causes us to reach out towards, feel drawn to things that give a pleasant sense impression.
Aversion causes us to push away from things that give an unpleasant sense impression.
Ignorance causes us to to not examine, be literally ignorant of things that give neutral sense impressions.When we live by these poisons we go through our lives driven by that aggregate of sense impression, by that stage of dependent origination where all sense input is given a hedonic tone and we either cling or run away based on this tone, and form our identities and future births based on this clinging or running away.When we live this way, we see something like a beautiful, young woman wearing revealing clothes and strong perfume and think "this is good, I want this" and feel innately drawn towards it,
or we feel a mosquito land on our arm and instinctively we slap our hand down on the creature and we kill it.It's true that actions like these born out of the poisons can create suffering for others (killing) as well as suffering for the self (lust).
But an important lesson that arises naturally out of the Buddhist teaching is a non-distinction between the self and non-self, as there is no such dharma as a "self" or an "other" in reality, and any suffering we create for others is also suffering for the self and vice-versa.There is a sutra where the Buddha teaches that living in accordance with the precepts is to live without regrets (I cannot remember the source)

Just exactly "who" is it that experiences this suffering?>have a "mind"
There's stillness and there's movement>have no "mind"
realize the only movement was your mindprofit

Some people suffer from knowing they could have done something to help someone else but didn't.
Some people suffer from realizing that they accidentally did something in the past that hurt someone else.
These are actually completely normal and healthy feelings. And the people who pathologize them are the ones who are sick. They're the ones who shouldn't be trying to explain anything about the world.

I think that ultimately this suffering does come from a concept that could be described as super-ego.
Someone who only thinks about the self cannot understand this type of suffering. But it goes further than just selfishness. The prerequisite for having this kind of super-ego isn't naivety, it's complex and higher-order thinking, where a person can't help but consider the larger picture of things, the parts of the puzzle that aren't always immediately visible. It's the sort of person who's always thinking about all of the parts moving in the background, and "why" things are the way they are instead of just "that" they are that way, and trying to understand all of the other minds involved in a problem as well instead of just their own.

A Bodhisattva would have nothing but compassion for those people and wish to teach them the dharmaBeing that way is no different than being born a mosquito who lives only to drink blood or a fly who lives only to lick up sweat and feces and has no understanding of why that is disgusting
