Thoughts on Buddhism
Sep 23, 2008
Excerpt from Bad Buddist Radio:
Buddhism isn’t so much a religion. Religions talk about meaningless spiritual garbage that doesn’t mean a thing until after you’re dead. Gods, and afterlives, and spirits and blah, blah, blah. Buddhism doesn’t get involved in all that because Buddhism doesn’t care.
Gods don’t matter to Buddhism. Neither do all the other trappings of religion.
Why? Because Buddha wasn’t concerned with those things.
What he was worried about was the here and now. You’re living in THIS lifetime — not one to come, not one that’s already been. This one, right now, right this moment.
It’s what you do with THIS life that matters.
