  1. That's what Buddhism is. It's not "religion" in the Western sense. There is no God, there is no self. No big boss in the sky.

  2.  @DesVazoos  Not weebs. Weebs never leave their basements except for occasional ventures to stock up on Pocky. I live in a heavily Asian area, and the people buying tons of Pocky, Hi-Chew, Ramune, etc are kind of hilarious. I grew up in Hawaii and have never bought Pocky, because I don't think it's a good value for the money. I don't eat Asian foods because of any other reason than it's what I grew up with. I think to be a weeb means to idolize the culture without taking the time to actually learn that much about it.

  3. This is a very nice video, and I appreciate your putting it up, however, what I'd like to see is the happier guy not having to be super creative, but doing something like working in a flower shop, or for the post office, or some really routine job and being happy. Because this is how it really works. It doesn't take having exceptional skill or being a member of the creative class, it just takes doing a job you sort of like, and making your life one you really like.

  4. I've read somewhere that Watts kind of wrote about his interpretation of Buddhism more than "the" understanding of it, if there is one.

  5. This is what Buddhism teaches.
