Hinduism is the oldest organized religion in the world. It is the Sanatana Dharma, the Eternal Law. It has no known origin and no founders - it is a synthesis of various Indian cultures and practices from as early as 4000 BCE.
Hinduism differs from Christianity and other Abrahamic religions in that it does not have:
>A single concept of deity,
>A single holy text,
>A single system of morality,
>A central religious authority,
>The concept of a prophet.
Hinduism is neither polytheistic, monotheistic, trinitarian or henotheistic, yet it is all at the same time.
The development of Hinduism was influenced by many invasions over thousands of years. The major influences occurred when light-skinned, nomadic "Aryan" Indo-European tribes invaded Northern India (circa 1500 BCE) from the steppes of Russia and Central Asia. They brought with them their religion of Vedism. These beliefs mingled with the more advanced, indigenous Indian native beliefs, often called the "Indus valley culture."
>Rulers will become unreasonable: they will levy taxes unfairly. >Rulers will no longer see it as their duty to promote spirituality, or to protect their subjects: they will become a danger to the world. >People will start migrating, seeking countries where wheat and barley form the staple food source. >At the end of Kali-yuga, when there exist no topics on the subject of God, even at the residences of so-called saints and respectable gentlemen of the three higher varnas [temperament] and when nothing is known of the techniques of sacrifice, even by word, at that time the Lord will appear as the supreme chastiser.
Kali Yuga with regard to human relationships
>Avarice and wrath will be common. Humans will openly display animosity towards each other. Ignorance of dharma will occur. >People will have thoughts of murder with no justification and will see nothing wrong in that. >Lust will be viewed as socially acceptable and sexual intercourse will be seen as the central requirement of life. >Sin will increase exponentially, while virtue will fade and cease to flourish. >People will take vows and break them soon after. >People will become addicted to intoxicating drinks and drugs. >Teachers will no longer be respected and their students will attempt to injure them. Their teachings will be insulted, and followers of Kama(lust) will wrest control of the mind from all human beings.
Buddhism is enlightened Hinduism made for those who can use the Loo
Josiah Watson
Explain how its is polytheistic, look up the definition might help you case Kek, all Buddhist philosophy stems from Hinduism, it lacks the social aspects of Hinduism it is Hinduism made for export
Ryder Sanchez
>Explain how its is polytheistic many gods. >Buddhist philosophy stems from Hinduism, Sure. But it differs in many aspects. Especially the most important ones and turns Hinduism on its head. It's Hinduism perfected. >t lacks the social aspects of Hinduism Good. The social aspects of Hinduism are shit (literall, thats all it is, collective fecal worship) >it is Hinduism made for export No such concept really back then so you're full of it
Lincoln Powell
>many gods All forms of the same cosmic consciousness and polytheistic nature of a religion only bother cut dicks for some reason gods are unimportant
>differs Ok I'll bite explain how is Buddism different apart from change in terminology?
Christopher Hughes
Buddhism is Hinduism for the egoists.

>All forms of the same cosmic consciousness Doesnt matter. You still worship different Gods seperately >Ok I'll bite explain how is Buddism different apart from change in terminology? Literally in everything starting from the fundamentals in philosophy. If you really have to ask that you clearly dont know enough about Buddhism. I'll give you one for a start There are no Gods.

So Christianity is poly because of the holy trinity? Blow it out your ass faggo - there are even sects within hinduism that are atheistic

Did designated shitting streets originate with Hinduism or was it influenced by a foreign invader?

"hey, look at me, I'm so enlightened, if I sit cross-legged for a long time I can defeat karma and show middle finger to this imperfect world."
Ethan Gray
It goes back 13,000 years and is the religion that dates Atlantis. U r a faggo
Charles Adams
Okay then Kek. I foresaw the Hindu trying to make that argument but not a Burger. You must be a Pajeet in the US. You dont worship three seperate Gods when you worship God in Christianity. The concepts of the father the son and the holy spirit are all aspects of one singular God. There are no idols of seperate worship.
Dylan Scott
The aim of Buddhism is to reduce suffering in the world.
Adam Morris
bullshit, suffering the same important part of the evolution of consciousness as pleasure.
Hunter Butler
Wtf is Hare Krishna
Austin Roberts
You dont know much about Christianity, clearly. This issue has caused serious division within different xtrian sects whether or not they need be worshipped and this is not even getting into Cathliocs and the reverence of the Virgin Mary and Saints

In this prophetic visionary video Kali rises up at 4:22 when Christ comes to smite the evil that is raging upon the earth, and again appears at 4:58 when Christ smites the botnet. Do you feel the rising fury of the of the global war against evil Hindu bros? Do you feel the goddess being incarnated to fight such terrible demons as afflict us? Is the great Indian culture about to be reborn to participate in the great global awakening which must come after a period of cataclysm?
It will go down way differently that you assume, we need a reset a purge won't do

Blake King
The only thing that makes Hindus noteworthy is their hatred and killing of muslims. Keep going.
Zachary Miller
Well thats just like your opinion man If you want to live like an animal you're welcome to. And yet none of them think they are three seperate Gods. Sure. They got the concept of samsara from you. So?
Jacob Hall
>not worshiping cows
Blake Anderson
Hinduism is satanic bullshit. Go fuck yourself.
Hunter Adams
>satanic bullshit Actually the Hindus have been the eternal enemy of the Semitic peoples; and in reality Christianity itself is the first and possibly most successful attempt by (((them))) to lead the Aryan peoples away from their true self-empowering faith. In reality, Semitics are the satanists.
I have yet to meet a Dharmic non-Mahayana practitioner I haven't beaten in formal debate.

WE WUZ ARYANS AND SHEEEIIIITTTT.
Fucking dirty, smelly Pindu. Go take a shower.

This is a thread for Dharma. In the Absolute, division between self and other, white and black, and so forth do not exist. These are merely conventional designations, icchantika.
"Before one studies Zen, mountains are mountains and waters are waters; after a first glimpse into the truth of Zen, mountains are no longer mountains and waters are no longer waters; after enlightenment, mountains are once again mountains and waters once again waters."
Dylan Thompson
Are you a Brahmin? If you're not then your religion says your opinion is worthless. And even if you are a Brahmin why are you not renouncing the modern and physical world?
Matthew Morris
>nihilist Zen is not nihilistic. I follow the eight-fold path, which promotes good behavior, icchantika.
Josiah Barnes
Isn't this the guy Pindus use to say that Kung Fu was invented by them? Again Pindus are such shameless liars, they even claim that the Buddha was Indian.
Pindus are more WE WUZ than niggers.
Luke Watson
Read the shit about the Kali Yuga, it describes our current society precisely.

Buddha was 100% east Asian ethnicity and Nepalese, fucking Pindu. >Pindu spouting pseudo intellectual garbage in his shit language
Justin Robinson
Icchantikas are not allowed in this thread. You shall be reborn as a hungry ghost.
There is no White, no Black, no attributes, within the formlessness of the Dharmakaya.
“Since the possession of attributes is an illusion, Subhuti, and no possession of attributes is no illusion, then by means of attributes that are no attributes the Tathagata can, indeed, be seen."
You're a literal brainlet if you think there is no god in buddhism
Oliver Garcia
>Pindu spouting pseudo intellectual garbage in his shit language It only comes off as pseudo-intellectual to you because you are an icchantikas whose mind does not flow freely, and you choose to dwell on the "dust" (i.e., desire for sensations). You ardently cling to phenomena because you are simple-minded.
Christopher Wilson
>meme flag Dude he's from Pakistan and is trying to troll good Hindus and East Asian Buddhists. The way to get rid of meme flags is to stop giving (you)s.
Angel Johnson
According to Pindus they are aryan, 100% white, the first whites, descendants of Buddha and the man who created Chinese martial arts.
Don't you have some shit and cows to worship, Pindu? >Pindu mad he can't get a white girl Sour grapes.
The entire world cringes at your white women worshiping.
Jackson Carter
Tell me one thing that can be clung onto in this life. Tell me why you choose to have a monkey mind rather than looking into your inmost nature, which is prior to thought & formless.
Justin Martinez
It's not necessarily inaccurate but reducing it down to a chart obscures a lot of the actual philosophy behind it.
Jason Rodriguez
You are merely talking to mirrors. Have your thoughts and inner monologues ever connected with anyone? Do they conform to reality-as-it-is ("suchness", or what Western traditions call "noumenon")? Have your mental constructs ever gone beyond your own mind? Why do you seek to grasp or attain that which is merely impermanent, which will fall through your fingers before you know it? Why not see into how your self is merely a bundle of disparate thoughts without core? Amitabha, icchantikas like you are more concerned with ambition and greed rather than pacifying your minds and looking into your true inmost nature.
Juan Long
>white women worshiping I don't want a white whore you moron; I'm marrying within caste as soon as my grandma finds a suitable bride. Unlike mudshits, we have pride and standards.
>one thing that can be clung onto in this life Chaos >why you choose to have a monkey mind I love the spirit of Hanuman and his eternal devotion to Rama, it inspires me to get out of bed and be the best man I can be >looking into your inmost nature Been there, done that. It's Hanuman-ji. >prior to thought & formless Meme words; the beauty of Godhead is the ability to perceive and appreciate
Kevin Cook
>It's Hinduism perfected. >The world is suffering and inherently terrible >This is a good ideology Might as well be Christian
Joseph Cox
I'm currently trying to find a good quick rundown on Advaita Vedanta to post her. I'd imagin that Advaita Vedanta of Yoga would be most appealing to westerners.

Isaac Mitchell
>Nepal has been a hindu kingdom for thousands of years on India side of the Himalayas >they wuz chinks
Benjamin Wilson
Yeah this is bullshit.
Henry Wilson
>Chaos Chaos cannot be clung too.
In fact, the interpenetrative flux of reality precludes the capacity to hold onto anything in life. It is only by ceasing to grasp, pacifying the mind, and finding one's inmost nature, that he or she can attain Buddhahood.
James Turner
>more pseudo intellectual Pindu nonsense >I'm marrying within caste Enjoy your dalit. >we have pride and standards Have you seen your women, mate? WE
Sebastian Adams
>buddhahood Wanna know how I know you're LARPing? >chaos cannot be clung to Wrong. Have you ever sat in bed on Christmas morning wondering what's in that big wrapped up box? That's clinging to chaos; there is an infinite well of creativity in the divine mind, and the corollary is there is infinite entertainment in asking and pursuing what can/could be. >interpenetrative flux of reality Nigger what?
Jordan Murphy
>It's another episode of Iran /Pakistan has the most beautiful people
Charles Butler
>have you seen your women Yes.
Henry Johnson
>>more pseudo intellectual Pindu nonsense It is only pseudointellectual to you because you continue to use your cognizing mind to apprehend that which is beyond the limits of thought. Quiescence of mind can you bring you closer to your true nature, which in fact is right there, like clouds that obscure the luminous moon.
Landon James
This girl shares my caste.
Hudson Martin
>there is an infinite well of creativity in the divine mind, I agree there, but it is found in the mind that is pacified, quiescent and aligned with Infinity. Then it spontaneously produces that which is aligned with the limitless.
Ryder Hughes
Kashmir is Pakistan. Shitskin dalit. >even more pseudo intellectual Pindu nonsense Shitskin southern Indian black dalit.
Brayden Baker

Charles Edwards

Hunter Cox
Reminder: Ancient Indo-Aryans were dark haired whyte people, there's virtually no mention at all in the Vedas or any other ancient Vedic texts or records of blondes. Just light eyed, light skinned people. So do with that what you will Sup Forums. They were definitely whyte tho and distinct from current Brahmins and obviously the Dravs
Adrian Mitchell
No, you're the one who lacks nuanced understanding in your tradition and how to engage in Dharmic discourse. Have you even read figures like Adi Shankara and more? Also, what sects of Hinduism think they can cling to chaos? You're just making shit up, my man.
