In the texts known to us, the key figures of Buddhism – the Buddhas of the past and their chief disciples – almost always come from royal (Kshatriya) or Brahmin (priests) families, from the social elite of their time.
How they but not self-made people can be the spiritual leaders?
If you meet Buddha – kill Buddha.
About Buddhas‘ criticism… I understood the atheistic Chinese Communist Party… I understood the way they were fighting Tibet and the Dalai Lama; it has meaning, and they are not stupid or cruel, in fact they simply know more and fighting with religions based on their historical background… same happened in the beginning of the XX century in Russia – Revolution against ruling elites and Christian authorities who served it.
It’s like when I was studying Hinduism (the Hare Krishna movement), and they have this caste system. Srila Prabhupada – an old man who came to the USA and promoted Krishnaism, making it a popular and rich sect – he was also saying that the caste system is good and fair. But once, while speaking to a Hindu guy, I found out that he and many Hindu people really hate it because, according to caste rules, “Untouchables” can’t enter temples, for instance. He supports modern Hindu leaders who promote equality. Many Hindus convert to Christianity and Buddhism to escape caste inequality.
There is also a division in the Muslim faith – Sunnites and Shiites. Sunnites believe everyone can be a priest and a ruler… but Shiites believe only Muhammad’s lineage can be the ruling and religious elite (which for muslims is the same).
To be honest, I really don’t understand monarchies. What do people need kings and queens for? For decoration? For reference, in the Kingdom of Thailand, you can’t criticize the King and his family, no matter what they do. You will be sent to jail just for one criticizing post on your page.
| To be average. To live without meaning and still wake up on time. To wear a comedy mask while rehearsing a tragedy no one bought tickets for. In the morning you catch a thought – blurred, anxious, unfinished. A thought about emptiness. A thought that maybe nothing was ever supposed to mean anything. In this ordinary reality, this awkward, almost ridiculous world, you give up the idea of being unique. You repeat Newton’s laws out loud, forces applied to a body, as if physics could explain why the body keeps moving when the will does not. You imagine shifting a proton, changing coordinates, altering something fundamental – just enough to escape your own limits. The limits of flesh. The limits of a brain that feels separate, like it’s lying somewhere in a glass jar, connected to electrodes, observing you from a distance. And still this absurd sorrow floating in a cloudy solution does not become smaller. As if it always belonged here. As if it was never a mistake – just another fragment of the story. *** We’ll meet there, and see how fear Has seeped through cracks in the concrete floor. We’ll meet there, and watch it clear – Those thoughts that I will die once more. | Быть посредственностью Жить в бессмысленности Ходить в маске комедии Играть героя трагедии С утра поймать себя на мысли На мысли смазанной и тревожной На мысли об отсутствии смысла На мысли, что кажется невозможной В этой банальной реальности Такого смешного, нелепого мира Отказавшись от уникальности Долго бродить по квартире Повторяя законы Ньютона О силах приложенных к телу Изменить координату протона Подойти к своему пределу К пределу возможностей тела И мозга, что кажется отделенным Что лежит, похоже, в банке Подключенный к электродам Но, от этого абсурдное горе Плавающее в мутном растворе Не кажется сильно меньше Но, кажется частью истории *** Мы встретимся там, и увидим, как страх Просочился сквозь щели в бетонном полу Мы встретимся там и увидим, как в прах Рассыпаются мысли о том, что умру Nastya Kalinina https://t.me/metaphysic_intoxication |
Just an observation from life:
Observed: a security guard from a provincial town with delusions of grandeur. He claims he is God because he sold his soul to the devil and will become God after death. No real achievements, does not study, unskilled labor, drinks alcohol, uses substances, watches TV. I met him because he left a profile on an asexual dating site. It turned out he lied for unclear reasons and is actually a regular sexual person. Blocked.
From GPT chat:
Important point:
Grandiose delusions often arise in people who:
- feel inner helplessness,
- experience strong frustration,
- live in limited conditions,
- have a chronic sense of unfulfillment.
The mind compensates:
“Right now I am nobody, but actually I am chosen.”
This is not anger or stupidity – it is the psyche’s way of coping with pain.
About Christianity… they obey miracles – virgin birth and resurrection from dead…. why not to obey Motherhood as self-sacrifice and a moral person who died for own faith… why do they need to invent these miracles?
