I post silly cats sometimes
@lain my belief about mahayanas is kind of affected by my dislike for the dalai lama. he doesnt strike me as fully enlightened. spiritually evolved sure, he has demonstrated bodhichitta of some degree. but not enlightened. however a lot of tibetan Buddhism is pretty cool, like rainbow body.

@technicallydifficult @lizzie @waypastfuture @sathariel one of the best things I ever ate was a milanesa beef torta with all sorts of ingenious fixings (devised by me). among the fixings were lime juice, elotes, and salsa along with the usual vegetables and such. @vriska partook in the sammy

@lain very true. mahayana Buddhism strikes me as preferring love of neighbor to love of God, but isnt it in the spirit of God that we take care of the least of them?

imo bodhisattvas have a role to play in Gods lila but they aren't above buddhas and they certainly aren't above God. God is mankinds infinitely compassionate helper, by His grace all are liberated in their time. isnt that enough?

huxley calls out Buddhism on the absurdity of some of its doctrines earlier in the book but more or less loudly espouses the idea that mahayanas are more enlightened than yogis/buddhas who dont reincarnate

huxley's distinction between the heights (nibbana) and the fullness (not preferring nibbana nor samsara, and thus effectively choosing samsara but also youre wholly enlightened apparently? dubious) of realizing the "Ground" is nonsensical. when someone dies in nibbana or mahasamadhi they become Brahman. Brahman is the height and the fullness, it is the transcendent Godhead and everything in samsara--purusha and prakriti. Huxley calls something else "the heights and the fullness", which I have yet to read. I'm sure it will annoy!

fucked up that quietism is talked about on wikipedia without mention of yoga.

imagine a hindu imprisoning another for lack of orthodoxy? suppressing an innocuous and even virtuous sect? unthinkable!

@Guiles I like Taoism but the idea of an extinction of consciousness due to the wrong kind of dhyana is pure evil. the bodhisattva ideal is very different from what the Buddha taught, which was the beauty of nibbana.
