Nonsense in Buddhism (reincarnation and rebirth)

The stupidity of Buddhist practitioners has gone largely under the radar in recent times, since Buddhists are not seen to be as much of a physical threat as other religious nut-jobs. But it's time for Buddhists to be held to account.

@KevinSolway Its not inherent existents you moron. Just existents. I guess you haven't gone beyond Gelugpa madhayamaka

@KevinSolway Annhilation is correct view? Atleast bardo has a lot of scientific evidence from Near Death Experiences.

[KevinSolway]

@Davincciable Yes, I agree with you. Such rebirth happens each moment. But I'm not sure there are many Buddhists alive today who are smart enough.

[KevinSolway]

@HinduismIsHeretical Buddhadasa rejected literal rebirth, and he is Theravadin. And he had the correct view.

@HinduismIsHeretical "things may SEEM to arise as existents,"

Yes, things seem to arise as inherently existent things, for deluded people. What is your point?

"you have not studied these things in a formal way. "

You have no idea what you're talking about.

@KevinSolway We do bardo, not rebirth

[HinduismIsHeretical]

@KevinSolway If unaware of the imputed identities, things may SEEM to arise as existents, remain for a time and then subsequently perish.

You talk about depedent orgination, but you have not studied these things in a formal way.

Reincarnation and rebirth had a secret meaning if u are smart enough . It means something like your personality/person change to another weather it is good/evil

[KevinSolway]

@HinduismIsHeretical "The candle flame is merely an imputed identity"

Yes it is. I'm not sure what point you want to make.

@HinduismIsHeretical Tibetan Buddhism is the worst culprit so far as belief in literal rebirth is concerned, and that is Mahayana. The Thereavadin's have Buddhadasa on their side, and he completely rejects literal rebirth.
