Man, I thought Buddhists were supposed to be chill?

What was that which you just said about me, my friend? I think you ought to know that I have completed my time as a novice-monk, and I've passed through the Gateless Gate, and I've lived for over 300 cycles of rebirth. I am trained in anapanasati and I'm the most senior bhikkhuni in my local sangha. You are nothing to me but just another human being worthy of dignity and respect. I will have compassion upon you with loving-kindness the likes of which has never been seen before in the Cycle of Samsara - you would do well to remember these words. Do you believe that you can say these things and still escape the principle of dependent origination? Perhaps you should reexamine those beliefs, brother. As we speak I am contemplating the importance of accepting your words with detachment and equanimity, so, without malice, I advise you to prepare for the storm, young one. The storm of suffering that afflicts all living creatures in this world. You are trapped in a cycle of death and rebirth, child. Not only am I extensively trained in the Mahayana Tripitaka, but I have access to the entire Pali canon as well, and I will use its teachings to their full extent to help alleviate the suffering within you which causes you to say hurtful things about others. You could reach Nirvana anywhere, any time, and I can help you achieve enlightenment in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with the study of Koan. If only you could understand what evil karma these words of yours would sow, perhaps you would have had the wisdom to keep silent. Nevertheless, this was beyond what you have been prepared for, and so I promise that I will do my best to ease the suffering that you have brought upon yourself. I will teach you the path of the Bodhisattva and you will revel in it. Your suffering may yet reach its end, child.

Simplifying this hugely, but Buddhist doctrine and most Eastern religions in general propose that forms such as the self are 'illusory' or hollow and that this can and should be realized through metaphysical knowledge regarding the nature of forms and one's place as part of Brahman or the Whole or the Unseen Seer or the Principle or whatever you want to call the all-encompassing God. Things such as pain and emotion are viewed as localized to the form, i.e. the body and mind, and as such do not belong to the part of the person that important/true (Brahman) and can be discarded or ignored. Of course, in practice it's difficult to actually achieve this so Buddhists can be as petty as anyone else. There are plenty of instances of Buddhist violence against religious minorities, in fact. Same with Hinduism even though the doctrine is very similar on an esoteric level.

You could have played this one off as some really subtle wordplay but you didn't. I admire the honesty immensely, but you get cred anyways for it because lord knows it was awesome. Thanks!

Damn, even the Buddhists get into pedantic shitstorms.

Is nothing sacred?

You should see the passive aggressive clusterfucks that plague r/zen. It's hilarious

More like aggressive aggressive clusterfuck.

r/Zen is absolutely plagued with shit-stirrers and trolls, many of whom have been sniping at each other for years.

If your post makes sense it must not be zen.

I thought nirvana sutra was that band that sang Polly wants a salted cracker song. What does this have to do with Buddhism?

If you want real drama, head on over to r/zen. More than half the posts there contain senseless fights about quite literally nothing.

Smells like drama spirit.
