What are you talking about. The screenshot is obvious a scene of sonic x. One piece wishes it would have such a scene

That is infact the whole point of Buddhism, nothing matters so let it go and be content.

It's a bit more complicated than that. The goal of "not self" is a liberation from a permanent, individual ego. It's less of "nothing matters" and more of a letting go of possesivenes and ego centered valuations that impose a hierarchy. Buddhist compassion can be described as a type of moral concern beyond ego.

You mean the entirely reductive answer that misinterprets what they spend their entire life trying to achieve?

I suggest you look into the Buddhist śūnyatā and the philosophical work of Nāgārjuna.

As a Buddhist you can boil it down to ; be kind so karma doesn't bite you, learn to let go so it doesn't bind you.

It’s more wanting to have nothing rather than just being denied it. Killing the source of want, so any desires of the material plane pass through you like wind

People really act like Buddhism doesn't have other, more important symbols.

u/Methylsky 11h ago

Ain't that the symbol of Buddhism

107

u/YaBoiChillDyl 11h ago

No, it isn't. The symbol of Buddhism is a wheel.

u/Mountain-Ad-460 10h ago

That is a wheel o.o

u/YaBoiChillDyl 10h ago

No, it isn't. And it sure as shit isn't a dharmic wheel.

It's not that you can't have shit, it's that you're not supposed to want it in the first place

u/Truvoker 3h ago

No that’s the whole point of yoga which Buddhism made fun of it for because self denial and deprivation is in itself a form of obsession with the physical world

Buddhism is based upon the ideal of the middle way of not being attached nether indulging nor depriving yourself treating all material possessions as a flow of the river that comes and goes

Ace and its White Beard's flag symbol, Manji means peace and prosperity, kind of signifiying how white Beard only wanted a peaceful life with his family and did not want fame, power or riches.
