Looking at the Community rules, I don't see 'no Buddhism' so let's go

  1. life is suffering
  2. Suffering comes from attachment, craving, and ignorance, particularly craving for things that are impermanent
  3. Suffering can be overcome by eliminating the causes of suffering, specifically by extinguishing craving and attachment
  4. There's a whole step by step program for doing that which they say leads to the end of suffering

I've been working this program for a while and it seems pretty effective. I started with the question "what do you do when you want something you know you just can't have?" The only real answer I could come up with was to let go of wanting it. That led down the rabbit hole and now I'm typing out the four noble truths on a lemmy memes community.

To be honest, though, it's probably the most difficult task I've ever set out to achieve. So, yeah, there's no easy fix.

I think it WOULD be pretty fucking funny if a community had an "Absolutely NO Buddhism" rule.
