i need everyone who talks to me to wear a badge indicating their class background and their positions on the interpretation of probability, existence of infinities, and whether buddahood includes evil

The way to escape Samasara and attain Buddahood is to microdose on LSD and close your eyes for five minutes so you can manage your team and produce more widgets for McDesire, Inc.

"Of 'no-mind' in Buddhism

and no task is accomplished.
It is only when all the traces
of this consciousness are wiped out
that Buddahood is attained.'”

Shinran Shonin is the founder of the Jodo Shinshu Sect of buddhism. He developed the doctrine that reveals the one unobstructed way through which we can receive salvation and Buddahood.

Thank you to @iododds.bsky.social and to @werkoderko.bsky.social (and happy birthday). Thanks for my favourite juxtaposition of the day. You made my doomscrolling much brighter.

Seems to me you might need to work on this a bit more. If you had really attained" true Buddahood" and lived for the "joys," you wouldn't find it so necessary to criticize others in such crude ways.

That is to say, ordinary Buddhists have beliefs in things they only know through authority (eg, nirvana, the buddahood of certain people, the existence of hell-realms or heavenly realms, the continuation of psychic elements through transmigration, etc); they also believe in shared stories/myths…

Different versions of the concept were proposed by Saicho, another Shingon Buddhist scholar, who accepted a partial realisation of buddhahood, and Annen, a Tendai scholar, who viewed it as the attainment of buddahood in this life.
