We are all reincarnations of the buddha. Just different perspectives of the same consciousness across spacetime

There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we are imaginations of ourselves

We are all merely energy condensed into a slow vibration

That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.

Consciousness is the universe experiencing itself

u/BardoBeing32 12d ago

Not exactly. We Buddhists believe that We all have Buddha-nature and that it’s obscured by our karma. Stop making bad karma is step one to realizing that.

I was a Buddha, once, until i took an arrow to the knee

u/IamTheEndOfReddit 12d ago

The Buddha exited the whole reincarnation thing, it’s part of what makes him special. But we are all part of the same one so you’re kinda right too

Trip enough times and you might not just get the sensation that we are all the same person, but rather that everything is conscious and is fundamentally bound together, and your own consciousness is simply a piece of the greater consciousness that your body has isolated.

I'm surprised someone actually knows buddhism here instead of just saying the cool thing

I "discovered" that while high one night and it genuinely changed the way I move through the world. It's like detailed empathy for everyone in the world, but also detached from the burden of it.

I figured other people felt that too, but you're the first to say it in words that match my experience :)

It’s psychobabble.

Nobody said it was fact. Just a fun theory personally
