Buddhism is Kinda Out There, Man

If you’re interested in Buddhism, this is some stuff I certainly got a kick out of over the years:

I was homeless when I first saw this video. I just watched it again after getting out of bed living in an appartment with a job that can actually pay rent. When you have had nothing, it really puts into perspective on life.

"I'm an alcoholic, not an educator" Could have been an Alan Watts quote.

“A star died to make you and you no longer find romance in that.”
Why did that make me incredibly sad?

To everyone having issues with "conquering yourself" I just want to encourage you. I was deeply depressed during my 20s and experienced a lot of loss. I thought would never be able to be who I wanted to be and never get out of the hole I was in. But I did, and you can too. Things aren't perfect but I'm very happy where I'm at compared to where I was before. This doesn't work for everyone, but my first step was just straight up accepting who I was in that moment. I had trouble getting one task done a day and often laid in bed for 2 hours after waking up. I was a shell. It's a little paradoxical but when I accepted my current self and stopped guilting myself over it is when I was finally able to muster the energy to start changing. That energy was previously wasted on self hatred and comparing myself to others. Anyways, have a good one, hope this helps at least one person who's reading.

Man that's profound. I love your writing.

"A star died to make you and you find no romance in that"
I have never heard anything so beautiful yet agonizing in my life.

"I'm not a buddhist, I'm barely a person"

Well, you know who'd say that ? a buddhist

The Dalai Lama once said "Do not try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better whatever-you-already-are." and honestly I live by that daily. I don't consider myself to be a religious person but as a philosophy I've found Buddhism to be foundational for me getting through covid.

One of my favorite quotes from the buddha is just “ask for a rice grain from any household that hasn’t had anyone die before and maybe I can revive your son”, cold asf line, context is a woman is tryna revive her early graved son

“I’m an alchoholic, not an educator.”

There’s a difference?

“Electric Buddhaloo” is the best thing I’ve heard in the past two years.

I asked a Buddhist lady monk if she had any tips for clearing my mind of thoughts.
“After all these years my head still full of crazy ” I was informed.

I like that so much of Buddhism's value is in its philosophies. You can leave the spirituality behind and still benefit enormously from the perspectives and tools it offers.

With a failing business, due mortgage, and parents to care for, I teared up more than I should have watching this. Thanks man, these really do help.

"How long is a Kalpa?"
"The length of time between exurb1a videos."

It's definitely fun to ponder on these deep existential dilemmas, but I really would just rather be a tree or a rock.

I’m an Atheist but often tend to seek wisdom from Buddhism. Absolutely love Buddhas teaching !
