"A staff monks carry around to beat the desire out of you" - Shows Miroku

You're not wrong though, devas are divas. Lord Indra, King of the Devas in Hinduism, once tried to drown an entire village because they didn't honor him in a festival. That was a really accurate statement

"These are animals. They suffer from the vice of being stupid." I have a dog, can confirm. But he has the virtue of being adorable.

Finally, I wanted a video about the Buddhist Six Paths for a long time

"My pain is still far greater than yours!"

"You could be forced to watch a 15 second YouTube ad and then get hit with another 15 second ad."
Now that's just fucked up. What could anyone have possibly done to deserve THAT kind of punishment?

The Buddhist references in Naruto really need their own video series because there are indeed a LOT of them, especially to mikkyo teachings.

Mikkyo (密教) refers to Vajrayana practices found primarily in the Shingon sect but also found in the Tendai and Kegon sects as well as Shugendo practices.

Interestingly, the Asura and Devas fight constant wars, because there is huge tree the size of the universe. Its roots are in Asura territory, but because Deva live above, they get the fruits. So it’s not jealousy on the Asura’s part, they got the bad end of the deal.

Now where have we heard this before? Two groups of supernatural people, fighting against each other over some damned tree, and one of those groups is called Asura. Aesura. Aesir. Oh yes, some scholars posit a relationship between Buddhism and Germanic Polytheism, because they both come from the ancient Indo-European religion. Nepal and the North of the Indian Subcontinent were settled by the Indo-Aryans.

There's a mountain in East Java, Indonesia named Semeru. named after the mythical Sumeru, in early century of Indonesian history, Hindu-Buddhism is the major religion and influenced almost every aspect of the people of Nusantara's (old Indonesia name) life.

Oh man when I watched naruto I noticed a lot of parallels to Hinduism. Makes sense that it was based on Buddhism since both religions originated in India and share many beliefs. It would be really cool to learn more about how Buddhism changed over time, over different regions and as a fusion of many cultures.

This reminds me of a story I read in Chinese mythology. There was a Buddhist family that was very devote. The father was so devote that when he died, he was carried to Buddhist heaven by heavenly cranes. After his death, the son leaves for the traditional mourning period and leaves the mother with some money to give to monks that might visit. Unfortunately without any men to keep her devoted, she quickly strayed from the virtuous path and sin like crazy. Like she did every kind of sin you can think of. She got to taste meat for the first time and killed dogs for dinner, she refused to give any of the money her son left her for the monks nor any food (except one time when she gave her scraps to a monk, condemning him for hell too). As her final sin, when her son returned, she lied to him about whether or not she gave out the money he left her for the monks. When she died, she was condemned to Buddhist hell where she has to kneel on a bed of nails forever. After her death, the son changed his name and became a monk. He was so devote that he gained the ability to visit Buddhist heaven while alive. Unfortunately when he got there, he found out that his mother isn't there, and did everything he could at first to find her, and then try to save her soul. He even convince Buddha to visit hell with released a whole bunch of souls at once. However, he came too late and the mother was now serving a new sentence in Gakido, always begging for food on earth but having it turn to ash upon touching her lips. In the end, the son saved her soul by throwing the first ever festival to honor the dead, and after she ate for the first time, she reincarnated as a dog and was treated fairly by her owners until her son came to bring her to heaven to reunite with her husband.
