    The Buddha teaches release from life?

    it is what it is... we can make it more fanciful, and use bigger or smaller words, but the word are what they are... the words are what they are to describe what is, and what isn't... a metaphorical emptiness? maybe, but, come on... Buddha wasn't influenced by the greeks... he wasn't...

    The Buddha teaches release from life?

    Ahanu... it is not life that is to be escaped from... it is suffering, the duhkha, the misery and misfortunes of life, not life itself... this is what Buddha teaches... There is an old western model of thinking that sees buddhism as something nihilistic, something fatalistic, something where...
