The Buddhist belief called anatta, or nonself, states that the concept of the self is entirely an illusion, and that the person you think you are today is a different entity from what you were ten years ago, or even ten seconds ago. You are an ongoing and constantly evolving process - an aggregation of uncontrolled perceptions and cognitions. Nonself serves as a reminder that we are not unified egos, but parts of an ongoing and constantly evolving process – an aggregation of uncontrolled perceptions and cognitions. We are not discrete beings detached from all others, but inextricably tied to the collective of all sentient beings.

❝Hello, and welcome to my religious safe space!❞ ♡ღ

All religions are welcome to publicly or anonymously send in asks preaching, venting, or ranting about their faith. I, and my faith own as a whole, encourage the practice of whatever religion best suits the individual as a person

While asks about your distaste for a former religion you have followed as welcomed (with the condition that I will add trigger tags onto it), any asks purely made with the ill intent towards another faith will not be permitted

This blog is mainly going to be me posting about my own faith, though I will be reblogging content from all faiths

Ave Satanas! May Lucifer bring thy light

What do I know of death? The question presented to me bounced around my thoughts momentarily, catching me off guard. My only experiences with the entity have been avoidant. I recall the summer as a child, when my persistent daytime sleepiness led me to drifting into a doze as my small body floated languidly in the pool. My grasp from the float slipped and bubbles of water filled my sight.

I recall bobbing up and down unsure if I was swimming, playing, or drowning. The air was leaving my lungs and I spent more time below the surface than above. I had been sleeping, but now I couldn’t remember how to swim. My battle with the bubbles was reaching a close when hands were on my body and my eyes were skyward, momma. My momma had grabbed me. My savior, my watcher, my hero. Wearing a mix of soaked street clothes and swimwear, my mother noticing my peril had rescued me. Ripping me from the jaws of danger. Avoiding once more from inviting death into our household

Of late, death and myself have become familiar. It was His Holiness The Dalai Lama who stated that you cannot find a household that death has not visited. That is why for myself, for my mother, for my parents, for my partner- we tell death not today. But for others, for our elders, for those ready or whose time has come, we give a courteous nod for that fate which greets us all at the end of the road. As biological being, we must all leave this physical form to that great beyond where my our souls can reach their infinity.

Readers who are familiar may recall the peril of the pickle, and for that reason I will not repeat it herein. However, I will let you be warned. At any age, we must stay vigilant and hone the most basic of survival skills while we watch for others. The watchful eye of a mother, the timed catch of a father. Learning the Heimliche Maneuver on self or others. Always cut up your pickles and grapes.

As far as I can tell Christians, Catholics, Jews and Muslims all worship the same god/ evil demi urge (though American Christians don’t even worship god or Jesus they are actually Paulian without even knowing it :P )

They all worship revere  this god/Jesus/Horus/Paul/Jahovah/Yaweh/ evil demiurge who is VERY PRO-SLAVERY AND ANTI-WOMEN...so I get to not respect them or their religion(s)

 These are the only real differences between these religions that all worship the same god/ evil demiurge :

plz stop calling Jesus the prince of peace and here’s a weird thought: MAYBE your role model should NOT be someone who dies horrible paying for terrible people who hate you? ....just a thought

Hindus think I should pay for past mistakes I made in a different lifetime in THIS lifetime sometimes and should strive to be “nothing” someday, and I should revere selfish horrid careless gods/goddesses and godexes that are objectively terrible, that I should be fine if not GRATEFUL to be FORCED to have my memories taken from me within samsara ...that dosn’t respect me or anyone if you ask me...so yet again:

no I don’t have to respect ANYONE’S religious beliefs that harm me and others.

I hate waiting. I need change now.

I hate waiting. I need change now.

both Buddhism and Hinduism  BOTH sound A LOT like capitalistic evil retoric that suffering and feudal systems/pyramid schemes/ the caste system are inevitable and maybe good? which they ARE NOT suffering shouldn’t be a requirement of ANY good religion!

and Buddhisum is all: “ oh no! never hurt anyone or anything ever! no matter how evil, dangerous or terrible someone is! which no good person should agree with.

and most “new age” paganism goes the opposite way saying gods like Ra, Set, Odin , the Morrigin and Freya were all war-gods who didn’t kill people because they were bad usually which is messed up...they are not full of success stories either

and wiccans who say “there is no bad or evil just different perspectives”...are probably hoping you won’t realize they are indeed evil people themselves...and if they think their leader of their religion wasn’t SUPER SEXIST AND ANTI-TRANS AND INTERSEX PPL...they should do some more reading....

religion ... most of it is pretty dumb ...

Happy Birthday to the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, who was born #OnThisDay in 1935. 

As the spiritual leader of the Gelug School of Tibetan Buddhism, the Dalai Lama is understood to be an earthly manifestation of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara (A.K.A. Lokeshvara, Chenrezik, Guanyin, and Kannon). All Bodhisattvas are compassionate role models, guiding Buddhists toward enlightenment, but Avalokiteshvara is the very personification of compassion. 

Several graceful, gentle images of Avalokiteshvara appear in our newly-opened Arts of Buddhism and Arts of the Himalayas galleries on the second floor of the Museum.

Do not accept the words of hatred, reject them. Only in this way the one who hates you will remain with the insult in his hands. You can’t blame someone who offends you and hurts you, because it’s your decision to accept his words instead of leaving them on the very lips they came out of
