Anomaly - The Anti-Buddha "
"New struggles .- After Buddha was dead, his shadow was demonstrated for centuries in a cave enormous shadow, scary God is dead. But considering the men are like that, there may still be caves for thousands of years in which his shadow is shown .- And we-still we must overcome his shadow, too. "-Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science (1882)
With Buddhism attract the attention of more and more these days I feel compelled to share my thoughts about my experiences Buddhism. In an attempt to kill two birds with one essay I hope to explain 1) why I do not find satisfactory Buddhism, while 2) that simultaneously provides a brief introduction to the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche.
Before making clear the difficulties Buddhism, allow me a brief philosophical propose an alternative approach inspired by one of my philosophical influences and style first German individualist Friedrich Nietzsche. The father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, "Nietzsche said repeatedly that he had more penetrating knowledge of himself than any man who ever lived or was a likely to live again "(according to Ernest Jones, biographer ofFreud). Nietzsche as many young people attracted by the philosophy of Nietzsche, who admired his übermencsh in Thus Spoke Zarathustra, his attacks on authority, slave morality, religious superstition, and harsh sarcasm. Seemed to prick the bubbles disguised the status quo. With controversy as "If you do not kill me makes me stronger" and "God is dead", his writings are perhaps a little above, but nevertheless to reread them, inspire enthusiasm and convey a richness that I did not like in my first reading, almost a decade ago.Had perspectivism Nietzsche understood properly could be seen by the safeguard that was a warning against philosophical system-building. Instead, his perspectivism misunderstood as an argument for a plurality of truths (None of which may be correct). In my opinion, this interpretation undermined all their provocative statements from the beginning. How could I have Nietzsche seriously once he discovered that he had no real serious? "The latter, more lively, more wildly extravagant Yes to life is not only the highest penetration, but also the deepest, which is more strictly confirmed and is born of truth and science. Nothing in existence can subtract, not essential, aspect of existence that Christians and other nihilists divorce are really at a level far superior in rank order between the values that the instinct of decadence could endorse and call good. To understand this requires courage and, as a condition, excessive force, just as the value can venture forward, precisely according to that measure of strength of truth approaches. Knowledge, saying Yes to reality, is as necessary for strong as cowardice and fleeing from reality, as the "ideal" is for the weak, who are inspired by the weakness. "What could be better? Realism objectivity, freedom, peace, tranquility and happiness, but it sounds like a perfect system. He was soon to discover, however, that these noble goals of Buddhism could not be Buddhist means.First make some history, Buddhism is a religion named after the Buddha or the Enlightened. The Buddha was a real man, a prince, in fact, called Gautama (In Pali, Gotama) who lived in northern India during the turn of the sixth century BC sifting fact from fiction in the story of Gautama, the historical scholars talk about a prince who abandoned his wife, son, and life of luxury in the pursuit of spiritual healing for the suffering.
His search began with the asceticism severe. Unfortunately, Gautama lost nearly six years of his life at the foot of sado-masochistic teachers before they realize that these methods did not result in spiritual healing by suffering. During his search he became frustrated and more determined than ever to find Nirvana, decided to sit under a tree lighting and will not get up until he found the way to Nirvana. He lived a long life, dying at eighty years and went through meditation and offering his views of followers, the monks.
I have no intention of writing a general rejection of Buddhist philosophy. There are some very attractive aspects of Buddhist philosophy, in terms relative. In a small book called what I think Bertrand Russell wrote: "God and immortality, the central tenets of the Christian religion, no support science. You can not say that either doctrine is essential to religion, since neither is in Buddhism. "Buddhism is not opposed to science Andreason in the same way mass and to the extent that Christianity historically. Validates this claim Nietzsche in Human, All Too Human, where he writes, "knowledge, science-in the extent to which science has itself been "passed over other men through the logical discipline and training of thought, as long demanded Buddhists, as a sign of holiness, the same qualities were repudiated and pronounced heretical in the Christian world, where they were held to be signs of lack of holiness "(page 154, base Nietzsche's writings). The Buddhist" saint "respect for science and objectivity is a function of the Buddhist view psychology and epistemology. Buddha saw the mind, not a spirit opposed to matter, but as an integrated and conditionally free will "[Cetane] part of oneself. The mind-body dichotomy of Descartes Meditations that has become so deeply planted in Western culture and religion does not exist for Buddha. Descartes has enriched Western culture with its coordinate geometry, but when viewed in light of Nietzsche's perspectivism, one can accept his mathematics without having to accept their metaphysical dualistic, or all of your system that way. In fact, a Buddhist, probably prefer the reverse formulation of Descartes' famous "I think, therefore I am" is "cogito ergo sum." In many ways, for the Buddhist, consciousness is a function of the brain in the way that digestion is a function of consciousness stomach.This [Vinnanakkhandha] "is a reaction or response that has one of the six faculties [eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind] as a base, and one of the six corresponding physical phenomena [visible, sound, smell, taste, material things and objects of mind, ie an idea or thought] as its object "(What that the Buddha taught, page 23). Awareness not only perceived, but sees "something", ie reality. To the Buddha, the reality exists as witnessed by the senses. It sounds absurd as common-why the Augustinian system of Descartes, where "I" is "very different" from any realembodiment.What is interesting here is that Buddhists treat the mind as one of the senses, not as data thintegrator and conceptualized it seems. Perhaps this lack recognition of consciousness as a processor of sensory data has relationships with chronic dismissal ego named Anatta Buddhist or TheDoctrine of No Soul. This is where I have to reject the teachings of Buddhism, especially the concept of dukkha Buddha and the Four Noble Truths "that flow from it. The Pali word dukkha (or "First Noble Truth ") represents the more pessimistic view of Buddhist life in ordinary usage means" suffering. "Dukkha says that the followers of Buddhism Suffering is the way the world and to relieve suffering is to eliminate all desire. This approach to the existence of suffering and the elimination of desire seems a little masochistic and frustrating. It completely ignores the desire of desire thecessation, ad infinitum. Everything seems strange to me.I do not believe that is humanly possible to eliminate desire, therefore, ask someone to relieve suffering by eliminating their desires seem to be a doomed project. My best argument in this case is the request that the reader has a honest day wanting nothing. It is impossible. Happiness (sukkha), by contrast, is the result of the pursuit and achievement of the objectives that help the survival, welfare and prosperity. Anyone can define well-being and prosperity of a completely different way, since none of the minds twopeople and objectives are so different as two snowflakes, but survival always means meeting basic desires such as food, shelter and water to minimize dukkha. To act against one's own natural inclination to want to survive the termination provisions of the "desire" is not just Buddhist, is suicidal. The "Second Noble Truth" revealed the origin of dukkha as "thirst" or desire. Once again, here I was very todisagree with Buddhism. I think I want to be a virtue, not a vice. Desire is a natural function of alive.Desire does not cause suffering itself, as the Buddha says. Instead it acts as an impulse desire of an individual forinventing means to alleviate suffering. It is the desire that drives one to achieve, to create, to fight for survival and satisfaction. However, the desire of one must be selfish to first assume an "I" which has an interest. (Now desire can also lead some to kill, destroy, and lies. However, the desire to blame the misdeeds that some use to achieve the objects of their desires seem "simpliciter" to me.) Buddhism meets this challenge by dismissing himself as an illusion in the Anatta concept, or doctrine not Alma. To the Buddha, the self or Atman (I) was an ever-changing composite of the five aggregates, namely, matter, feelings, perceptions, mental formations and consciousness. For Buddha, as these five compounds were constantly changing, somehow ceased to exist. Obviously, this is a non sequitur (At least Heraclitus believed that the current is standing in there, but not the same as they were a moment ago). Obviously, because something is dynamic not condemn the non-existence. From what I can say introspection, my ego does not exist, but dynamically. This does not mean I'm defending the Cartesian "Cogito Ergo Sum." What I am saying, without But is that a "sum" means "cogito." The Third and Fourth "Noble Truths" to try to cement an interest in Buddhism by anxiety a flexible first on dukkha. The "Third Noble Truth says that it is possible to put an end to dukkha. The Fourth tells him he can do by following the "Way" (IeBuddhism) to Nirvana. In essence, this "Way" says that there is a middle way between the false alternatives of hedonism and asceticism, in a clear abuse of mean.The Alternative: The Nietzschean individualism "The End of Christianity at the hands of their own morality (which can not be replaced), which turns against the Christian God: the meaning in truth, highly developed by Christianity, is nauseated by the falseness and mendacity around the world and of history to recover from 'God is truth " fanatical faith "All is false ', an active Buddhist" (Source Nietzsche's will to the existentialism of Sartre, Dostoevsky, p. 110, edited by Walter Kaufmann). Buddhism has a strong spiritual attraction, particularly to people in need of philosophical counseling. Their strong orientation towards knowledge of reality is certainly a virtue. However, it can not fundamentally adopted Buddhism for his dismissal from the ego and focus on the suffering. In my opinion, I draw your own interest "the cause of suffering" misdiagnosis is the highest grade and condemnation of the followers of Buddha to a life of defeat quietly cynical where pain is the confirmation and prosperity endured bitterly. As I see it, the selfish desire is actually cures the urge to suffering (tangentially, read Connie Zweig The death of the person in a postmodern world very different interpretation of the relationship between Nietzsche and the Buddha in The Truth about the truth, edited by Walter Buddhist teachings Truett Anderson.) I found useful at one time in my life and encourage others to pursue the "enlightened" way, but not without criticism. I think the Buddha said best when describing Buddhism as a raft to be used when the river reaches. Using the raft to cross the turbulent waters. Once they reached the other side safely not take the raft back awkwardly. Leave it behind and continue along your journey. About the Author
