Is nirvana escaping samsara or becoming one with samsara itself?

Is it not that you imagine to escape reality?

How is samsara not the master if it tortures you every moment your entire life yet there's nothing you could do about it?

I think people need to be abused until they leave

No…

Otherwise they will persist

But samsara also has so much to offer. If you could buy a luxury home in LA, would you want to leave samsara? The Buddha was a prince but gave all that up to live in the forest all alone with tigers, snakes and giant spiders.

No…

How do you know? Because the news said so?

If you were rich, would you donate all of your money and live somewhere in a cabin off-grid? Note that the Buddha didn't even had a log cabin. Which would be a form of luxury and hinder his little suffering simulation.

Note: you could donate $1 million to your wife and children. Is $1 million a lot of money?

Dude, stop acting like you're mister Miyagi. I studied the suttas. I know the Bhadiya Kaligoda sutta. I know the dangling sword. You're obnoxious.

Who are you to ask cappuccino to change, you insubordinate?

Cappuccino speaks short. He speaks to the point. He does not vacillate with long, protracted speeches.


And he has been the SAME WAY for as long as I remember. He is not obnoxious. He is humble and driven by compassion.

As for your Hollywood mansion? Perhaps you are young? Perhaps you have watched Dan Balzerian and now think there is pleasures to be gained in riches.

you will never attain such riches. Such women. Such assets.

All the better for you. Happiness is not found in that. Happiness is found in a simple life - one that allows you to live the Buddha’s teaching.

Neither, nor. It is seeing samsara for what it really is.
