I reply, “Bugger off. You’re a nuisance.”
Why don't you simply ignore my posts? Just stop seeking conversation.
Because you’re undermining the dhamma in the same way that Mahayana likes to call all other lineages a “lesser vehicle”.
When you first came here, you were touting your knowledge of emptiness as it applied to MN 121 and 122. I called your bullshyte on that because when someone is full of bullshyte they should be called on it.
I did it again when you failed to realize that the four rupa jhanas are the definition of right concentration.
At this stage, you’ve gone completely off the deep end; everything is a metaphor; and a vaguely defined illusion with only relative truth ... etcetera etcetera
Let me put it this way. Do you venerate the Buddha? If you do then what importance do you put on the title “Buddha”?
From your earlier post, it appears that you put no importance on the title that Gautama was given for his efforts. And that bothers me and I think it’s important to call you on your bullshyte as often as is possible and needed.
Other people are reading the nonsense coming out of your mouth. Someone has to stand up for the factual elements of the dhamma (the 4NT’s; the N8FP; transcendental DO; etcetera). I’m not going to let you use your dialectics to sweep away everything that is important to a Theravada follower - especially on a Theravada website.
Why don’t I ignore your posts? Why don’t you bugger off to a Mahayana community?
What is so important about Theravada followers that you need to espouse Nagarjuna
here? And what surprises you about the fact that people are pushing back against your mindless “emptiness sickness”?
It’s a Theravada discussion forum ...
You’re undermining the original teachings of the Buddha. You’re a nuisance. And I will continue to call you out on your empty; postmodern diatribes.
