And the Ignorant Asshole Said What?

Keven T. Briggs commenting upon this blog said... Coomaraswamy didn't understand that the question of self or atman doesn't need to be answered. It's the ethical, not the metaphysical, system that matters. Buddhism teaches ethics that lead to a person's happiness.

Webmaster of Aryan Buddhism replies: Folks, Ignorant dumbasses like this (Keven Briggs) completely rule “Buddhism” today, an aspiritual ethical system of soulless Humanism. It is due to people like this that one must and should run away from anything proclaiming itself as “Buddhism”.

The entire basis of Buddhism is utterly and only metaphysical in nature. Buddhism is a liberation ontology based completely around the Atman, the citta (nous);....[eg. Attasarana annasarana....cittavimutta = Sammasambuddha, citta is non-khandhic, ipso facto metaphysics]. As such, the premise and personal asinine conjecture that Buddhism isn't “about metaphysics” is as absurd as a Christian yelling out in Sunday school sermon “Whats with the Jesus shit? Christianity aint got nothin' to do about him!”.

Personal happiness, in NO Pali translation, is not a goal, an ends, or pinnacle or is taught in any of the five nikayas. Repeat, in NO translation does such a commandment exist. For the “forest dwelling recluse”, the mere notion of ethics is as absurd as it is completely laughable. Ethics for what and towards what? The rocks, the trees, the insects?

Happiness and its antimony sadness (remember adukkham asukkham as per suttana) are part and parcel to samsara,...Buddhism does not teach happiness rather liberation of the citta/soul/nous (cittavimutta!) from false identification (eso kaya na me so atta) with the temporal and psycho-physical self (as meant anatman/anatta). Buddhism was originally an amoral Monism, a methodology of making synthesis/union with the Absolute thru wisdom, objective negation (empirical and otherwise) and via negativa exercises which dirrect the nous/citta/spirit ultimately and permanently back upon itself.

There is no “discussing” Buddhism with ignorant assholes such as this; and why? Because they have not studied Buddhism's teachings.

They have no interest in researching what Buddhism's doctrine says.

They have heard, have conjectured about Buddhism as per their “guru/teachers” pontifications.

They speak much “about Buddhism” but they utterly have no interest in the genuine teachings of same, nor do they care to know.
These people make up what we call “Buddhism” today. This is why “Buddhism is not Buddhism”.

This is the arena of metaphysics, of ontology, not the whoredom of ethics, morality, agnostic Humanism, and spiritual euthanasia.
