Has anybody ever been to a buddhist temple service? If so, what was it like? What went on, what was your experience?
Also, if there are any Kansas/Missouri dwellers who have been to the Rime buddhist center I'd love to hear about that.

No, I've never been. But don't fool yourself, OP, we're all too far gone for that shit

there are a thousand better ways to waste time
Ryan Allen
You never know! There are a lot of people here, I'm sure SOMEONE has visited a buddhist service
Connor Mitchell
Eh, to each their own! I mostly am intrigued in their meditative practice and peacefulness.
But I've got to write a paper on it and I don't have time to go to one, all the buddhist temples around me only have service on sunday, so im kinda fucked.

you can do that at home
Carson Gonzalez
Of course I can, and I do. But these people have devoted their whole lives to these practices. It'd at the very least be a unique experience to view what they do.
Robert Barnes
I meant that we're too far gone to dedicate ourselves to Buddhism beyond what would essentially consist of contrived cultural appropriation.
Im not saying that you can't benefit from Buddhist philosophy; however, there's nothing to be gained from a temple that can't be gained from books.
Lucas Nelson
Well it's for a paper. I need to write what its like at a buddhist service. I chose buddhism because it's captivating. I don't want to convert. I just want to examine. It's interesting to me.

if Buddha was so great, why couldn't he keep his weight below lardass-levels?
Parker Ross

Back to your hole, Caveman. Shoo shoo!

Also, buddha isn't a god, or seen as a god. Buddhism is an ATHEISTIC religion.
Levi Foster
That's not Buddha, that's his fat-ass future incarnation Budai.

Buddhist temples dont have service is in the sense a church or mosque… the monks do prayer at certain times…. you can ask them specifically for a fee to do prayers or give some advice or other services such as funeral or stuff….. i was married in china we went to have some lucky stuff done by the monk… other than that u just go whenever u feel lile and light some sticks… its not really a communal liturgical religon… never been outside asia… like i am sure the retards in California have done some weird shit with hybridization

If you really want to get into it you have to become a monk… which is not a big thing really as in alot of places you can do this for short time like a week or month… and then u just study and meditate and do chores…. usualy still have to pay for that tho
