/asatru/ - Asatru / Heathenry / Paganism

Yeah, but the problem with buddhism right now is that people want to apply the asian cultural aspect of it and apply in the west. There is NOTHING in buddhism that says that we shouldn't use our own cultural traditions on the pratice of buddhism. Maybe some based monk will finally create a new form of western buddhism (rip greco-buddhism) which most certainly would have a strong pagan basis.

Buddhism is a matter of taste. Sidhartha Gautama was a visionary man in deriving Hinduism into a digestible and sensible format for mankind. But, some great tenets are absent from it that separates it from the others. Asatru removes the "slave" status from the relationship between the Universe and Man. Hellenism removes the Universe's involvement entirely, and lays blame upon the follies of the Gods. Buddhism suggests that what comes, comes. You can't change it. Other Gods and understandings say otherwise.

Pretty silly tbh considering how accomodating of other religions Buddhism is. Asians kept almost all of their native beliefs and simply applied a Buddhist perspective to them.

Buddhism is not so much accommodating of other religions as it is accommodating of the truths nested in those religions.

Buddha was very outspoken and energized when it came to rebuking false teachings and false paths and putting things into perspective, he even argued with Gods (and won).
