Hey! I was given a choice of dog shit or cat shit. Don't get on my case because I choice cat shit. The fact is, you can change your life. There is never any unselfish reason to take your own life. The pain that your loved one go through is not sad. It would be more like hitting them in the gut with a 2 x 4.

your a horrible Buddhist. 😐

whatever happen with not being physically or emotionally attached? you must find the balance and you not wanting for others to leave this world b/c of the emotions you will have is selfish.

Seeking to eliminate attachments is an attachment. As Nichiren Daishonin said, suffer what there is to suffer, and enjoy what there is to enjoy.

Nah.

Do you mean people in this thread though or people that contemplate suicide or people that commit suicide or just some random people you thought about when typing your post totally unrelated to everything here?

Yes but in this case it's like forcing someone else to eat dog shit so that you can choose cat shit.

Your logic is flawed. You are pretending that there is only two chooses and both of them are bad. Why not choose the right choice? Why not change your life instead of taking your life? After all, you have nothing to loose.

Because there are some things that are irrecoverable from.

No, Buddhism teaches that if your legs are torn off in a mechanical accident you should "GO THE **** OUTSIDE AND WALK IT OFF *****!!"

I like how people who know nothing about Buddhism keep spouting coffee shop Buddhism all over everyone they see.

Zen teacher John Daido Loori said,

"[A]ccording to the Buddhist point of view, nonattachment is exactly the opposite of separation. You need two things in order to have attachment: the thing you’re attaching to, and the person who’s attaching. In nonattachment, on the other hand, there’s unity. There’s unity because there’s nothing to attach to. If you have unified with the whole universe, there’s nothing outside of you, so the notion of attachment becomes absurd. Who will attach to what?"

Because we think we have intrinsic existence within our skin, and what's outside our skin is "everything else," that we go through life grabbing for one thing after another to make us feel safe, or to make us happy.

Life and death are both attachments. Suicide is also an attachment. From the Buddhist point of view, if you commit suicide, then you simply return to the same life condition the you started with. If suffering is the choice you made for this life, then suffering will be the choice you make for the next life. You will continue this cycle until you have achieved the goal you set out to achive in the first place.

And I was making fun of him, not trying to enlighten him.
