Most western Buddhists are faggy pot smoking college students who don't believe in any of the religion besides shit like mindfulness. Western "buddhism" is closer to Therapy than it is the actual religion.

notice how youre american and not the target of my question

Don't care go fuck a dog

Buddhism is a phisolophy and therapy not a religion in the traditional abrahamic sense

So things like Rebirth, Devas, Asuras, the various hell realms, don't seem at all religious to you?

Nah
It just the term to describe human and their mental charisteristics. But how can explain all of these to the average mass? Using concepts and pictures

I'm afriad you're just as rarted as your average American buddhist

go back

These are western budhists tho, they live in Europe

Nah I have just witnessed it all, even learning from actual tibetan buddhists.
Buddhism is not all about Chinese and magical schools, you know?
Sometimes you have to travel the world to learn about the truth.
Some of the most of important aspect of buddhism are logical reason, critical thinking and debating

>logical reason, critical thinking and debating
are you a virgin?

probably some chang that grew up in america

No actual Buddhist monk thinks the realms are just all in your head. They just say that to normies to make them feel better. If they didn't literally believe it, why waste your time being a monk? You could just live a life of hedonism until you die and then your suffering ends. The whole system collapses if you don't believe in all of it.

I think most zen buddhists do not pay a lot of mind to them. Or anyone. Or almost everything

Most likely some kind of scam artist or begpacker hippie.

They literally creating many monastery and force students to read buddhism phisolophy for debating with the teachers.
The Buddhists i know, they do not believe in gods, heaven nor hell. Everything is purely about human, only the concept of reincarnation, but that is just the explaination of passing your knowledge and title from the actual master to the one of his chosen student.

Then I'm sorry but the Buddhists you know are rarted too

kek

They are the tibetan lamas lol

yep, you're a virgin not by choice

You're just Westernised and trying to make it palatable for yourself. It is a religion by definition.

Also there are plenty of Westerners who take it seriously.
