Studying Buddhism is as essential as studying Bitcoin.
No, it really isn't. https://mises.org/mises-wire/classic-rothbard-letter-buddhism-mysticism-etc nostr:nevent1qqsvrl487mucnwqa0ez6gm43ljwa3ngtc48tl7xjpvmnzq48l8fxcpcprdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68yurvv438xtnrdakj7q3qde6l09erjl9r990q7n9ql0rwh8x8n059ht7a267n0q3qe28wua8qxpqqqqqqzqmdwp7
Any recommendation where to start?
This is a great book but you can read almost anything including the words of the Dalai Lama. Once you dive into Buddhism you'll realise that it's the only religion that isn't a religion. It's more like teachings of how to be humble, honest and how to life a peaceful life with peace of mind. It's basically life advice rather than religion. https://image.nostr.build/f35d2d5b15e08b3ba01f08e4949f1fd50efe07c170b9cb34b6416efc0ec2e910.jpg
Ajahn Brahm, a Buddhist abbot says that Buddhism is a religion for tax purposes 🤣
"Open-minded people tend to be interested in Buddhism because Buddha urged people to investigate things - he didn't just command them to believe." "There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my religion is kindness." Dalai Lama
Buddhism separates minds in a very simple way, exactly the same as #bitcoin You have to put in the work , I completely agree 👍🏼
it's more like guidelines than religion. simple ones even.
Studying Christianity is more essential than studying bitcoin. > What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his own soul? Read [God's Word](https://esv.org/John+1). nostr:nevent1qqsvrl487mucnwqa0ez6gm43ljwa3ngtc48tl7xjpvmnzq48l8fxcpcprdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68yurvv438xtnrdakj7q3qde6l09erjl9r990q7n9ql0rwh8x8n059ht7a267n0q3qe28wua8qxpqqqqqqzqmdwp7
Sound money is a key part of the Kingdom of Heaven
and a logical consequence of "thou shalt not steal"
Fuck God. When religion stops being used as both the shield and sword, that's when it may actually be useful. Until then, these continued fictions which keeps being spread isn't much different than any ol' regular disinformation spewed out on the moving picture boxes and print media. It's okay to be good without being told. You don't need one of many various Sky Daddies to tell you how to not be a pushy supercunt. $Diety will never bless your private key.
Fortunately we received free will and we may believe in whatever suits us best. The catholic history isn't for me and the teaching ls of Buddah aren't even a Religion.
