Compare to the Buddhist influence it was severely lacking.

My dude all of the Demon of Hatred, Hidden Forest, and Fountainhead Palace bits are shinto influenced. The idea of Sekiro being filled with the flames of hatred and the angry spirits of the people he kills is a Shinto belief.

Shintoism and Buddhism are very compatible.

That's what Buddhists like to claim, but in reality Buddhism is a still a foreign devil faith from poo in loos. It also contradicts some critical important aspects of the true faith of the Japanese people: Shinto.

Shut the fuck up you manchild, not only you don't know the diffference between right and left, you have to push your bullshit onto religions you know nothing about.

so is Sekiro connected to Yamamura and Bloodborne or was this centipede thing just a nod?

>The buddhist are centipede addicts fucking assholes. I wouldn't call it propaganda
a buddha does talk to you in the game tho

isn't that the loli?

It's probably just a nod. The parasites and vermin (centipedes) deal with corruption, but in the case of Sekiro it's linked to immortality as well as corruption. Yharnam is set is a fictional world, while Sekiro explicity stated to be in a real world era, Sengoku.

that’s just the rice loli

Sekiro development started right after Old Hunters - so From probably decided to expand on this theme.

makes sense then, Yamamura is just eh marvelous Chester of bloodborne, I thought with the ‘dragon came from the west’ thing the dragon might’ve been some terrible abomination and not a ‘dragon’ at all but based on its design and sword everyone is saying China or Korea

not the loli, the scroll when you first enter the area. It's a picture of buddha that talks to you and warns you to stay away

that's just the rice loli you retard

It's clearly stated that those monks are impure and have betrayed Buddha.

The funny thing is, as you grow older you just realize Buddhism is correct. All pain and maliciousness (that isn't physical trauma) is a result of attachment and ego, your entire life is a cycle of letting go of the things you were attached to until death where you have to ultimately let go of EVERYTHING including yourself. A process that would be much easier if you practiced the philosophy of Buddhism earlier in your life. During your life, your highest points of bliss would be the moments where you where the most carefree (optimistically detached, like a child when your ego was practically non existent). It's why children are always seen as the closest to god. Being attached to the idea of enlightenment is in itself a folly that anyone that is "enlightened" would know. It's not about rituals or the idea of enlightenment being something you can work towards and grab a hold of. It's simply understanding fundamentally (as in, not simply adopting it, but embodying it) the idea that if you live without inhibition, without ego, accepting everything for what it is, have the ability to let go of anything from the material to the metaphysical ideas of the world, understanding you are in control of your emotions and that you are the reason for anything that happens to you, understand that all things are temporary and your time on this earth is fleeting, then you will be blissful (enlightened) and live life to the fullest and have less regrets.
It's just letting go, but not waiting till just before dying to do it.

If you think it's about putting on robes, going bald and ritualistic meditation, then you missed the point. Those are just tools to get there, but they're not prerequisites. I believe there's a parable about that where people keep asking the Buddha when will they reach enlightenment because they've done x and y already. The Buddha usually told them an absurd number of lifetimes they'll have to live before getting there until some dude showed up and asked and described how he was already pretty content and thought life was great, didn't ask for much and was grateful as it is, so was just curious about when the whole enlightenment thing was gonna happen, and Buddha told him he's already enlightened.
Hell even the damn story of the Buddha was that he didn't reach enlightenment till he decided he didn't give a fuck anymore, didn't wanna starve, he just wanted to eat some damn rice and chill under a tree because it was fucking comfy af.
To know enlightenment, just remember the most blissful and innocent time as a child where you thought nothing of the world, it was just this endless land of possibility and you took it as it was with no judgement.
Run into an obstacle in life? Simple
Can you do something about it? Cool, don't stress because you can do something to fix it. Can't? Then why stress about something you cannot change, move on. Most people literally get better at Buddhism as they get older whether they know it or not because it's a natural progression. Tons of philosophies that developed on their own resonate with the idea. You'll probably even hear your grandpa tell you about how much easier things got the less they gave a shit in life, which just happened naturally.
TL;DR Enlightenment = when you can be at top tier happiness by just sitting on some grass and maintain that state forever, no matter what may come.

Because those things don't cause you emotional harm, your outlook about them causes you emotional trauma. You can either stand up to it stalwartly and accept it as just another of life's many burdens and challenges, or you can crumple under pressure and cry "why me?". Stoics and Buddhists maintain that the healthier path is to answer the call and accept any incoming misery as a learning experience that can be used to further establish your inner tranquility.

Hellenism created two of the most enlightened cultures on the planet, to the point that going back to the values of those culture was seen as a Renaissance.

Stoicism is basically the same philosophy from a different culture. It's also very worthwhile to look into if you like Buddhism.

Like I said, it's a natural progression. You come to realize these things on your own, the bad thing is that the realization is usually followed by "if only I understood this sooner" because you realize how much of your life you could have enjoyed if you did. Hence why if you can work towards embodying this sooner than later, it's definitely best to.

How about just not being retarded?

Christians, Muslims and Jews are the sole reason our species will never make it.

West blame harmless Buddhist and worship violent Muslim and black people because they are masochist.

St. Thomas Aquinas, Saint Augustine and other early Christian scholars describe a Christianity that's very similar to Buddhism, actually. One of their leading principles is that sin is actually just unbridled desire, and the pain that this desire causes us is at the same time its own punishment for sin. They're all about letting go of earthly desires living according to the hand that God gives you without letting yourself be overcome with want.

>random unprovoked
i din do nuffin yer honor

Wrong
Hell is the ultimate punishment for your sins

Westernized Buddhism like what is Stoicism essentially. Should actually just be called Stoicism and not Buddhism which is something completely different and more specifically anti-modernist

This is kind of correct but as I understand it hardcore Buddhists don't believe everything is one so much as everything is just an illusion and doesn't exist in the first place. The "everything is one" comes from Hinduism and is referred to as Atman, whereas the Buddha very explicitly preached ANatman, or "non-self."

When you think about it, Buddhists are actually the most hardcore nihilist, genocidal pieces of shit in existence. The only reason they don't "do" anything violent or crazy is because they realize that to do so would only invite retaliation and thus continue the chain of action/reaction aka karma. Their goal is basically to get the whole universe to meditate itself into nonexistence(or technically, to stop pretending it even exists in the first place).

What I don't understand is, if all of existence is just a massive ruse cruise anyway, and there is no other "hyper-reality" beyond the physical universe, what the hell is so wrong with staying in the illusion? Or alternately, what's so great about enlightenment?

>St. Thomas Aquinas, Saint Augustine and other early Christian scholars describe a Christianity that's very similar to Buddhism, actually.
No they didn't.

>They're all about letting go of earthly desires living according to the hand that God gives you without letting yourself be overcome with want.
Not living a life of carnal desire isn't an exclusively Buddhist concept at all.

Different methods to reach the same goal, ultimately.

Hell wasn't really much of a thing when Christianity was as its purest. That's more of a strongarm technique that got developed as religion became an industry rather than a way of life. True Christians didn't believe in heaven or hell, they simply believed that living in accordance with God's will would lead you to a better life and more content life, and that God's will was whatever hand life has already dealt you. Early Christianity was very similar to other schools of enlightenment back when it was about living modestly, forgiveness, and abandoning your pride and ego. All that gloom and hellfire stuff is actually just a perversion.

buddhism is literally "let us trample you under our feet; the religion". it started in india to further reinforce the caste system with the slowly growing underclass of undesirables that were offered nothing by hinduism, and spread to the east along with the conquests of steppe nomads as "high" cultured societies found themselves trampled under the feet of men who drink fermented horse semen because it supposedly gives them the strength of the horse. of course the meek would desire the fleeting euphoria of someone telling you it is good to be in the position you already are in, rather than suffer the realization that they are even less than cum-guzzling barbarians.

Is that Liam Neeson?

If you gave me the choose to care or not care, I will choose to care. Caring involves suffering, but it also brings happiness. To avoid attachment is to accept apathy, and apathy is death. Buddhism is a philosophy for cowards who dettach themselves from everything in order to avoid having to compromise themselves with an ideal. The more intelligent we are, the more things we perceive and understand. You will never achieve the animalistic / childlike happiness where existence is simple and enjoyable on a fundamental level, because your thinking is abstract and you're still actively subscribing yourself to a philosophy, whereasin animals and children just live life in a state of ignorant bliss. If you're willing to make yourself ignorant, then go ahead and take the easy path.

Are you fucking talking about jews?
And calling them "true" Christians you fucking heathen!?

I like the comic a lot, though I believe the better representation of enlightenment in that context is simply having fun whether they win or lose. Kids cartoons try to teach that shit all the time.

Why do people get so serious about what other people think? Just let them be.

Jesus was a jew wasnt he.

It's perfect for you guys on Yea Forums because you're worthless sacks of shit who have no value and have no one who cares about you, yeah. It's easy to talk about letting go of living when you're hardly alive in the first place.

>early Christian scholars

anything written in rome or a rome-influenced region after rome adopted christianity as its official state religion is not early christianity.

They did. Have you never read anything by them? Check out On Free Choice of the Will by Augustine or any of Aquinas's many essays.

No he was the son of GOD and the JEWS killed him

Who do you think punishes you?
Hell, like enlightenment, is a state, it's just the complete opposite one, which is horrible. The thing that makes it a punishment is the fact that you yourself are the source of the pain you feel, upon death, you face ultimate truth. And upon reflecting on your life with this knowledge of ultimate truth, you will find that you lived a life in vain and cannot let go of the attachments you made. So you "burn" in your own guilt, shame, regret (basically all negative emotions engulf your being). The natural response is to beg for another chance to make it right, to be reborn so you can try again, a glorified "at last i truly see" and you reincarnate at your own will.

He who died enlightened would not have the same response when meeting ultimate truth and reflecting on his life, he'll be at peace with himself, knowing he did not live in vain and is able to let go of the world for he truly loved it and will rest for eternity in heaven.

>BUDDHISM GOOD
>CHRISTIANITY BAD

Buddhism was actually a reaction against Hinduism for the exact reason you mentioned. Their underlying tenets about karma, rebirth, etc. are basically identical. The conclusion is where they differ. Hindus believe in Atman, aka "everything is one, so no matter who/what/where you are, you're exactly where you should be" which was used to "trample" people and reinforce the caste system as you said. Buddhism was actually a reaction against that and drew the opposite conclusion, i.e. "everything is connected, therefore wealth/happiness/virtue is always a result of something/someone else's suffering, therefore everything is suffering." Between the two, I'd say Buddhism is more "accurate," but it's also fucking depressing and nihilistic, so FWIW I tend to avoid it.

you totally sound like a well adjusted person surrounded with people who care about you user

yes

Fuck off christcuck

Nope. The whole point of his lineage as a messiah was that he was from the Jewish line of David.
Jesus lived as a jew, followed the torah as a jew, was circumcised as a jew, followed jewish traditions set by jewish patriarchs and hated gentiles like a jew.

If you think enlightenment means apathy, then you once again have missed the point.
You may be happy and sad, you can play and have fun. You can create. It just means understanding fundamentally that all things including yourself are temporary, so don't get attached, enjoy every fleeting moment in life to the fullest, accept things for what they are, and you will avoid suffering.
It doesn't mean you can't create something new and have fun, it just means not suffering should anything not go your way in those efforts. Remaining content, even during the worst of times doesn't mean everyone's gonna be a stoner and not care about issues and just sit there. It means we wont be suffering while we fix what we can fix, and accept what we cannot.

That's the point. They corrupted themselves, the message is that they were wrong for pursuing immortality and that death is good, so they became those horrific creatures.

The son of God and a Jewess, that makes him a Jew, in fact the King of Jews.

>could of got an awesome ancient japanese shinto mythological setting
>instead got *kabuki drums* YOOOOOOOOOO

Christianity is pure evil, designed to cuckold the gentile races into abandoning their racial Gods and instead devoting themselves to the jewish tribal god Yahweh. The jews themselves admit their end game was to have the gentiles praise Yahweh the world over, its why they spend the entire old testament murdering polytheists.
Jewsus never existed. He was a collection of pagan allegories and crucified gods collectively mutated into a "new" being by the jews of Alexandria, Egypt, around 100-200BC. Needless to say Rome started tearing apart at the seams shortly after its takeover, but apologists will always try to mental gymnastics out of this highly convenient fact.
Much like Islam, Christianity was always meant to poison the gentile masses. It's a form of spiritual communism, designed to make men obedient and subservient betas crippled by fear. This is why it has so many tenants about the "meek" taking over and everyone being "equal" under God, that "heaven" has no race and gender. All lies designed to promote an ancient form of marxism and collapse civilization. Give up everything you own goy, into the open arms of your jewish masters.
Praise Rabbi Yeshua. We jews totally hate him. Or at least a few irrelevant jewish celebrities claim to. Nevermind the hundreds of rabbies who believe him to be an emanation of the messiah to come.
Revelations ends with Jewsus destroying the gentile nations and ruling the world from Israel with the chosen jewish tribal elite.
The entire basis of Judeo-Christianity was never belief. It was race. "Satan" was always code for "gentile", and "pagan" code for much the same. Esau/Amalek/Satan to the jews, including the ancient ones, meant whites.
Open your eyes before its too late and see how the church is run by the jewish Bilderberg group.

This is the super watered-down version of Buddhism. Actual hardcore Buddhism talks about abandonment of "skandhas" or aggregates/groupings which we falsely attribute selfhood to. Some of them are really obvious stuff like worldly longing or personal feelings, but it goes all the way to even being able to perceive things like hot and cold. To be clear, I'm not saying things like hot=good and cold=bad, it's literally even being able to differentiate between sensations. True Buddhist enlightenment is complete and utter annihilation, full-stop.

>True Buddhist enlightenment is complete and utter annihilation, full-stop.
I'm not arguing about the way it's practiced and its many variations. The goal is the same across all similar philosophies and religion, they simply disagree on how to get there.
Just look at the original story of the Buddha and how he literally makes all those people with their strict practices seem stupid and to have missed the damn point.
He deprived himself and starved himself of everything worldly trying to reach enlightenment and the only moment he actually found it was when he had enough of all the horseshit and decided he didn't give a damn anymore. He ate the damn rice and fucking loved it, eventually got back to a healthy weight, he was scorned by his peers for going back to "wanting" things again and he said fuck off with that shit, sat under a tree on a nice day and just let himself be. He realized THAT feeling was enlightenment and maintained it. But yes, in order to appreciate every ounce of the world for what it was, he had to suffer tremendously first. That's where the idea of suffering and deprivation being necessary comes in. But if you can reach the same point without it, then you'd be STUPID not to even in the eyes of the Buddha. You're supposed to enjoy life, just not get attached to it.
So many of you seem to think it's impossible to have one without the other.

Just cause you unconsciously fixate and obsess over that shit dont mean the rest of us do faggot boy.

Again, there is nothing wrong with attachment. Humans have always sought for meaning and putting their hearts in an ideal, whether it's self-imposed or divine. Suffering is unavoidable, but even in a life of suffering, we find happiness in fighting for what we truly care and believe in. No matter if the universe and everything we know will eventually perish, all those things exist in our present, thus everything we do matters right now.

What you propose is just an hedonistic lifestyle where everything is replaceable, where people are soulless automatons that feel "good" and "bad" depending on external stimuli, but they are always functional because nothing truly affects or move them on a deeper level, they don't base their happiness on anything. If that's your idea of "enlightenment", then I reject it, not only because my instincts tell me it's flawed, but it's also unrealistic. Emotions will inevitably create attachment; unless you destroy your sense of self entirely and stop feeling things altogether, you will never stop suffering, because feeling "bad" already counts as suffering.

Why is Buddha so fat? Isnt it bad to be glutenous? Like youd have to eat a lot of cows and animals to get that fat back in the day.

I'm not sure if we're on the same page here but let me share my thoughts: ultimately, yeah, I believe enlightenment, i.e. total annihilation, is a thing, and is a "goal" inasmuch as all living(and nonliving?) beings will eventually have to face/experience it. I also agree that if you're able to take Buddhist teachings at face value(something much easier said than done, unfortunately), it is the "easy" way to enlightenment, as opposed to farting through existence/reincarnation/whatever. But therein lies the rub: most people are too wrapped up in their own karmic shit to take the "shortcut" he proposed. By the time they'd even be capable of understanding what he's on about, they'd be practically enlightened themselves. IIRC he himself questioned whether enlightenment could be taught or whether he was basically just wasting his time. His followers believed that he had attained enlightenment, but imo it was more that he was "enlightenment-adjacent," if that makes sense. The fact that he even bothered wasting his time trying to teach anybody showed that he had not fully transcended karmic delusions, imo. And furthermore, I think someone truly enlightened would realize that essentially, everyone has to get there in their own time. It's pointless to try and hasten peoples' journey, you'll most likely just hinder them and they're eventually going to get there anyway regardless of what you do.

>Suffering is unavoidable
True. Accepting this is part of enlightenment. There's suffering and then there's what you impose on yourself.
ie. Something bad happens = wine and sulk in bitterness at the issue and suffer further emotional stress or, you can simply chill out and try to solve your problem, and so long as you know you truly did the best you can, you find you do not suffer the same emotional stress you did before. It's hard to feel bad when you're always doing the best you can and are 100% honest and true.

You are filtering the point through your own projection of the duality in life. You can have the ideal that you described with the philosophy still in place and the only difference is that there is less suffering in the end.
Again, enlightenment =/= not stoners who reduce everything to being chill or not chill. It just means not suffering.

You can be an engineer making cars that is enlightened. You can be a fucking hobo that is enlightened, it doesn't matter what you do it's simply the state you embody.

Which is why originally, it wasn't a religion. Followers always fuck things up. Originally all he did was essentially REMIND you of what you already know. Buddhism was created as a tool to help you teach yourself, it's not the teacher.

A nazi calling an actual thousand year empire weimar is pretty funny.

Shinto didnt even exist in the form you (mis)understand it until Shinbutsu Bunri. Some powerful shmuck was pissed that their primary faith came from non-Japanese poo in loos, so he just went and made a big old stretch back to the early animism of the Yayoi and Kofun eras.
All Shinto is is "Buddhism but we changed the names and wrote different stories". They went as far as revising the concept of original source-trace manifestation, insisting that the cosmic Buddha and Boddhisatvas were incarnations of the Kami, rather then the commonly accepted reverse.
Shit was so homogenized that by the time shinbutsu bunri came about, people weren't even sure which practices originated in "Buddhism" and which were "Shinto", so many Shinto rights have their roots in Buddhism, and many historically "Shinto" practices were lost due to being mistakenly identified as Buddhist.

except the buddha tells you to question all his teachings and if something doesn't make sense to you then you should discard it and find out the truth yourself.

Besides the buddha never said that nothing mattered, he said that attachment leads to suffering and that the way to free yourself of suffering is to rid yourself of attachment.

Also, stuff does matter. If you live an evil selfish life then your next life you will be reborn in as a lesser existence and even farther away from nirvana. Prolonging your experience of suffering.

>It just means not suffering
Except, as you stated, suffering is unavoidable. If we decide to care and feel, we also give room to attachment and suffering.
Your position is basically "care, but not so much, and learn to move on". Like the other user said, it's just watered-down buddhism.
There are people who would sacrifice their lives for their ideals. A father saving her daughter, a man sacrificing himself for the good of humanity, a missionary going to dangerous places to share his faith, and so on.
Some people's lives are based on their attachments and ideals, instead of being mere complements that can be abandoned once they crumble or fail. It's just the way it is: either you choose the path of not giving a shit (hardcore nihilistic buddhism), caring but not compromising 100% with anything (popular buddhism, your position) or fully adscribing yourself to something, making it part of your identity, which puts you in the path of the greatest potential suffering but also the greatest happiness.

The 72 virgins thing isn't an actual part of Islam. It never shows up in the Quran.

Islam's definition of the afterlife is very similar to Christianity and Judaism. All three religions are Abrahamic and have similar (if not identical) afterlives. Some sects of Islam have differing views, but the 72 virgins thing is not, for the lack of a better word, canon.

Buddhism was the religion of the Samurai and nobles, the learned and rich. Shinto had always been a folk-religion until the Meiji-Restoration, where Buddhism was seen(as many things at that point) as an inferior Chinese cultural heritage.

You must understand at before this point, Japan worshiped the ground China stood on. Every point of high culture was Chinese in origin. This started changing during the hundreds of years of peace under the Tokugawa-Shogunate. The Chinese conquest by Manchu horsefuckers who established the Qin dynasty(also where the name China comes from. Qin - Qina), and the subsequent humiliation by western powers made the Japanese do a 180, and feel that TRUE Japanese culture was what came before the influence of the Chinese.

The god of Abraham is a god of war, jealousy and hate. The Abrahamic religions hate each other MORE than they hate anyone else.

>If you live an evil selfish life then your next life you will be reborn in as a lesser existence and even farther away from nirvana
Nirvana is completely outside the cycle of death/rebirth and thus not (necessarily) any "closer" or "farther" from any state of existence. It is possible to attain enlightenment in any state, but said to be "easiest" in the mortal state where we're exposed to good and evil in equal measure.

Protip: karma doesn't necessarily mean doing "good" things, or doing "bad" things, it's literally just everything that happens, every reaction to everything that happens, and so on and so on. A more appropriate translation might simply be "causality." Mastering karma/causality will lead to betterment of your life and rebirth into a higher life state, but it doesn't really have anything to do with enlightenment and can be detrimental since, as I said, the mortal/Earthbound life state is actually said to be most conducive to enlightenment. I believe it was said that even the Buddha himself could not discern the full course of karma; enlightenment is not about mastering karma, but rather disregarding/transcending it.

Very based and underrated

>Your position is basically "care, but not so much, and learn to move on". Like the other user said, it's just watered-down buddhism.
Again you keep insisting you cannot have one without the other, you need to explore this idea more than at face value.

Have you ever heard of the phrase "if you love something set it free"? You are more than capable of loving and being passionate without being attached to the idea of it. That is why it's possible to juxtapose the pain of letting go of someone and the pleasure of being grateful for their existence and time shared with you.
You can die for your beliefs all you want without ever suffering the attachment of those beliefs.
A monk isn't immune to feeling passion. You can be angry enough to kill someone. There's a difference between the enlightened guy who gets angry and the unenlightened one. and it's that the unenlightened one will suffer the pain of his own anger, while the other guy will only suffer what he cannot change, his suffering will be temporary and he KNOWS that and as such, doesn't really suffer at all, he still lives. The other guy stagnates and remains much longer in a negative feedback loop.

Do you believe people have souls?

But why is it so powerful?
Don't modern day nips go throw their prayers and wishes in shinto shrines as their daily routine or have I been memed on?

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Well as I said, Nirvana lies completely beyond karma aka causality, so from a causal being's point of view it's something that just sort of spontaneously springs into being. It's like a flash of insight that seemingly comes from nowhere without warning. Thinking of it as something you have to "work towards" or that "takes a long time" is the wrong way to go about it.

Also, this is just me spitballing, but I would venture to say that it's possible to "become" enlightened, and then "lose" it later. Experiencing it once, even for a short amount of time, covers your whole existence since it's infinite. It's kind of like a booster shot/vaccine that also works retroactively.

I don't know about Buddhism, but I've started meditating recently, and I do feel somewhat more focused. My brother who is in prison has become a practicing Buddhist, and it seems like he is much happier for it.

>Buddhism is literally black pill: the religion.
And this is bad how?

During the nativist movements mid/post-meiji restoration, shinto practices were taught as part of a "national learning" (kokugaku) curriculum to further cement and legitimize the emperor's rule, as his claim to the throne was predicated by the myth that the imperial family were descendants of Amaterasu.
The taught shinto (often referred to as State Shinto) was established as a "duty one must take as a Japanese person". While the government recognized freedom of religion in an official capacity, this "State Shinto" was regarded as an integral part of Japanese identity, and thus an obligation to participate was propagated.
This pretty much resulted in modern Shinto practices, such as shrine visits, to become accepted as a part of Japanese "culture", rather than Japanese "religion". Its somewhat comparable to how families in the west who aren't particularly religious might still take part in Christmas or Easter.

I feel like a lot of people romanticize crusading for no other reason than "muh christanity"
I can almost guarantee most those soldiers didn't give two fucks about god.

Then go for it. Just make sure to follow the middle way and dont subscribe to asceticism bullshit.

Meditation/mindfulness has a curve similar to the uncanny valley. If you're not a very mindful person or have not meditated before, it can be very helpful as a coping mechanism/tool for self-control as it allows you to deconstruct certain things that are bothering you, rendering them harmless. However, once you reach a certain threshold, you become aware that literally everything can be deconstructed, good or bad; that there is no fundamental "substance" to the universe and nothing to anchor yourself to. That can lead to a lot of anxiety and outright breakdown if you're not careful. There are actually a number of people to whom this has happened, and it kind of pisses me off that more people aren't made aware of the "danger," so to speak.

You're asking a very difficult question that results in a variety of answers depending on who you ask. From the outside looking in, it would ostensibly be "Shinto", dur yk the reasons highlighted by this post However, from an internal view, the most practiced religion is Buddhism, often associated with numerous different schools. "Shinto" practices are rarely defined as religion by the Japanese.
While Japanese Catholics exist, Christmas is sustained almost exclusively by commercialism.

Late reply because phoneposting sucks
>You are more than capable of loving and being passionate without being attached to the idea of it
If you don’t generate attachment, it’s only a complement rather than a fundamental need. When you’re attached to something, the passion, the feel is so strong and powerful that you cannot envision yourself in a situation without it: such is the nature of emotions, they generate ties. You cannot have all the good without the bad. Your mind and heart cannot be flooded with an ideal only to be able to easily turn away from it anytime you feel threatened. That’s not how humans are, and it’s also why many feel turned off by the concept of Buddhism: we’re attached to life, and we enjoy being attached, even if it brings suffering when things don’t go our way.

I understand your idea of enlightenment, which is to base your happiness entirely on yourself, regardless of external circumstances. And it’s not wrong to want to have control over your own emotions to a degree, but to depend exclusively on yourself to be happy is selfish. Don’t call it enlightenment, it’s just another path of the many that exist, and it’s completely valid for some people to feel turned off by it.

I've played alot of fucking games and I still loved it. You should recommend something you consider better

They celebrate Halloween and christmas in the consumerist way.

Doesn't that conflict with buddhism?

It’s a state obtained by the virtuous and wise, they consider god to simply be the supreme Buddha.
Yes siddhartha was a man but they believe when he obtained buddahood he became like a god and therefore should be worshipped

probably but not everyone is Buddhist

There's a saying in Japan that describes how they see religion pretty well
"We are born shintoist, married Christian and die Budhist."

While one may identify as Buddhist, or even observe some Buddhist practices, that doesn't necessarily mean that they're monk-like in their faith

The Manchus established the Qing dynasty, the final dynasty in China. Qin is from 2000 years earlier, established by Qin Shihuang the first emperor (the guy with the terra cotta warriors).

theres more than one type of buddha statue you know

Just play Okami, dweeb

But the buddhists are crazed old men with centipedes inside them. It's anti buddhist if anything.

>new games can't be your favorite games

>and we enjoy being attached, even if it brings suffering when things don’t go our way
This is close to, if not, enlightened thought. What is meant by "attachment" is actually kind of what you're talking about -- peoples' tendency to externalize the universe and act like it's fair and according to God's plan when things are going their way, and stupid unfair shit when it's not. You choose to accept the good with the bad, or accept a life of neutral apathy, or whatever other weird incomprehensible 7th dimensional existence you want, as long as you make that decision with full responsibility and full knowledge, and not because you think it's the "superior" decision, or because "God" told you to.

do

It's pretty clearly stated that the monks of Senpou Temple had abandoned the teachings of Buddah, as illustrated by their pursuit of immortality.

they diverted from buddhism by trying to become immortal and doing other evil heretical shit

dont jews, christians, and muslims all believe in the same god

sounds like you are projecting, but you are probably right about a bunch of people that come here. Still even people who don't have much can find it hard to let go of things, especially their ego, lots of pathetic fucks with nothing in their life often cant let go of their ego

Men who were all buddhist. It's still moreso anti than supportive in that sense. Its stupid to interpret it either way though.

I'd be down with any religious propaganda in games that isn't Islam or Scientology.
Actually scratch that, the fluff in Scientology could make for an entertaining setting.

It’s ok bro I remember when my kundalini started acting up as well

I feel bad for the Ashina guys. From what I've seen the reds shit on them.

>of random unprovoked disaster and violence
literally natures laws of physics my dude

Nah. Giving out candy to make kids happy, or gifts to loved ones, is about as Buddhist as it gets.

The good or bad is in the "why," are you handing things out to people because it is a holiday and therefore you have to, or because you love your family and even complete strangers and want to make them happy?

hownew.ru

Ur a faget.

>>Suffering is unavoidable
it literally is

kind of applies
also, there's been a number of games that had to be censored because Muslims got asshurt
in The Witcher 2, there was a carpet that according to some goatfucker contained the word "allah", was patched out
there was a MP map in MW2 with a qur'an quote in a ruined house. Muslims thought this was a deliberate insult because the room had a sink so it might have been a bathroom, was patched out
there was a Metroidvania with Arabic chanting samples in a licensed music track, had to be patched out too because you can't have Arabic chanting in games, that's disrespectful
btw Muslims also believe that the mirrored Coca Cola logo is a blasphemous sentence in Arabic, distributed worldwide just to insult Muslims

What exactly is so wrong with paganism?
I mean I don’t believe in it but isn’t it just nature worship and a continuation of various shamanistic practices?

Kikes can't control pagans.

If you seriously don’t know and are asking then you’re in for a wonderful suprise.

If you just accept all religions as the bogus fantasy stories they are, it becomes much more interesting to draw on their mythology for creative writing and you won’t feel the need to be triggered by every little thing.

That’s because videogames, like everything else that is even slightly fun, are haram...

...except not really. There is a bunch of bootleg Famicom software in Saudi Arabia, mostly quiz games about the Quran, but there does seem to be a romhack of Mario out there with some Arabian dude instead of Mario.

Not really documented here in the west, but I do follow a Saudi retrogamer on Instagram who has some interesting stuff from time to time.

>still living in the muh western christianity election phase

You can always spot an atheist because of how insecure they are about their beliefs

It just didn't focus on shintoism, but it was extremely there. The snakes were literally kami.

In fact here we go. Oldgamer1 on insta and I was mistaken... it is not as much Famicom games as it is a lot of MSX. Apparently that platform had some popularity in Saudi Arabia.

ok? I also agreed

Are you saying suffering is avoidable? Because it's not.

It’s pretty hard to follow a lot of Buddhist principles without believing in the concept of reincarnation.
I would tell you to do Buddhist practices because they have immediate benefits on your life.
Also they may help you realize that both life and death is ultimately an illusion

Buddhism is the only cure for the black pill

That’s not Buddha that’s a Japanese diety worshipped by some Buddhists

it started in china you moron

More accurately, Budai, the fat, smiling figure in question, is a half historic- half mythical monk that was deified by Japanese Zen Buddhists, but he was allegedly a Chinese monk.
Hes often mistaken for Gautama Buddha in the west

Christianity point out the sense of guilt
Buddhism point out the sense of pain
those are masochistic religions but Christianity is more creepy in terms of hypocrisy

You're thinking of Hotei. He represents contentment.
Pic related is Siddhartha Gautama AKA Buddha.

Buddha isn't/ wasn't fat.
The fat "Buddha" statues represent a Bodhisattva.
You're honestly just really fucking stupid

>You're honestly just really fucking stupid
Most of west believes the fat smily man is Buddha.
Even some Buddhists in east think that because Budai is a reincarnation of Buddha because of something he supposedly mumbled on his deathbed.

>troll

>Most of west believes the fat smily man is Buddha.
I want to believe you're wrong but you're probably right. Just look at

Tao te ching is actually buddhas teachings though it is a polysemic riddle used for enlightenment. It's very cleverly written because the stanzas have both conventional wisdom like buddhist sutras, but also hidden wisdom of taoist alchemy, similar to buddhist tantras, without the idolatry.
You know very little faggot, you couldn't even comprehend sunyata let alone realize the concept without being shown it.
Go google it faggot

>buddhist propaganda
No such thing:
“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”
Buddha quotes (Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, 563-483 B.C.).

It isn't in that quote but buddhist add "do not even believe me" as in the buddha himself

Calculate my IQ, psychiatrist says my intelligence is in the 99th percentile meaning an IQ of about 130, factor in childhood brain injury (divide by 0.8) being raised by a single severely brain damaged mother in poverty (divide by 0.8), forced to play football by said brain damaged mother (You aren't suppose to play sports like football with a brain injury as not only does it cause significant brain damage, it worsens brain injuries.) (divide by 0.8).

130 divided by 0.8 divided by 0.8 divided by 0.8 = 253.90625. That was my original IQ, mixing mathematics with karmic theory (abused innocents are reborn as kings and queens) and considering I was already born with a superhuman IQ which would have made me the king of kings, in the next life I'll basically reincarnate as God. Won't go into detail, you fags won't believe me, but using other plausible theories, and under perfect environmental conditions, could have potentially achieved an IQ of 300. I don't know the specific amount of IQ loss some of these things cause, being raised in poverty though drops IQ by 10%, so it's safe to say a brain injury would cause at least a 20% drop in IQ.

Going to make a videogame one day based on myself, the egotistical demiurge and it'll have buddhist concepts.

Buddha is a fat faggot, what a bunch of retards

There is a lot of legitimate philosophy drawn from religious writings and stories though, especially in the east philosophical and moral writings were intertwined with religious themes and vice versa. So in a way something can still be Buddhist or Hindu propaganda without explicitly arguing for those religions just by presenting a world view with some of that religion's philosophical underpinnings.

>reincarnation of Buddha
Buddha, the historical buddha escaped samsara, there is no reincarnation. They would be retarded to think the fat bodhisattva is a reincarnation of buddha.

It's the emaciated buddha people often forget. This image is the deified buddha, all perfect. When buddha became enlightened he was dying. He was seriously depressed, it was sit under the tree, freedom or death, he reached/became to nirvana.
He had been extremely ill health eating only blades of grass, skinny like mrs skeltal, on deaths door.

Damn fresh pasta.

>when my kundalini started acting up as well
Not that faggot but at 20 nearly 21 I had kundalini rising, then syndrome. I was given dharma. I shortly found buddhas teachings after and moved to a monastery for a few years. I eventually practiced vajrayana and have at least reached sotapana from what I can tell. Of course I am still in samsara but if all is correct in scripture it is only 7 lifes left at most for me.
>psychiatrist says my intelligence is in the 99th percentile
Yea well we can see why you are seeing a psychiatrist, clearly mentally ill, delusions of grandeur.
If you were intelligent you would know these doctors are only trained to deal with mental illness, prescribe medication, and neuroscience knowledge. Their profession is a pseudo-science and they cannot tell a persons IQ.

Of course this is bait though.

I'm fairly certain I know and understand a great deal more than you. If you think Jomon or even the latter Yayoi had some connection to Northern India or Chinese Buddhism prior to the Asuka Period, you are sorely mistaken. Buddhism did not see a peaceful spread and was forced by the Sinophiles, while Shinto purists led by the venerable Nakatomi clan, fought like hell to resist this foreign faith. Unfortunately they lost.

The only reason that Buddhism began to flourish, was that the Buddhists, desperate to spread their faith, told Shintoists, that kami were part of the Buddhist doctrine and that they could be prayed for by donating to and paying taxes to Buddhist temples. Buddhism also had the nasty habit of seeing monks and temples engorge themselves on the wealth of the people while these same people suffered. The various Buddhist sects also had a bad case of rather frequent lethal competition. So severe in fact, that men like Oda Nobunaga had enough and ordered the sects that were fighting each other to hand over their trouble makers, and then executed them.

And for someone who claims I know "nothing" about the Japanese people and their customs, you seem to be blissfully unawares of the fact that throughout Japanese history, there were officially ordained attacks on the excess's and hypocrisies of Buddhism.

And finally, if it weren't for one Sinophile prince wanting his name to go down in history and thus be responsible for bringing Buddhism to the forefront of Japan, Buddhism would have remained on the fringes.

Taoism and all Northern Folk religions (Hellenic, Shinto, Celtic, Germanic, Slavic, Iberian, Hindu, Tengrism, Korean, Zoroastrianism, etc) are the only tolerable faiths.

>delusions of grandeur.
All I wanted to do was find out my original IQ before my life was ruined, and the math said it was 250. I'll be honest though, I did take the official online mensa IQ test (The one that's really hard to find and normies don't know about) when I was 15 or 16 and it said my IQ was only 99, but 15/16 is still considered childhood IQ by some people, and I was being severely abused during that period and forced to play football (A sport that shrinks your brain by 15% and causes OTHER types of un-measurable damage). I retook the same IQ test when I was 19 and it said my IQ was 129. Didn't want to be delusional but all the facts and math just pointed to me being super smart, and in fact I did not want to believe this and kept redoing my math and looking for errors but there were none. I would retake the raven matrices IQ test, but aren't you suppose to only take it once in your lifetime?

>Their profession is a pseudo-science and they cannot tell a persons IQ.
Their profession INVENTED IQ.

The Shinto afterlife is fairly bleak, much like the Greek concept of everyone, good or bad, going to Hades. Hence why the vast majority of Japanese people have Buddhist funerals.

>Their profession INVENTED IQ.
Psychology, not psychiatry invented it.

lmao you whitecucks are so pathetic
