Buddhism can be as secular and non-religious as you want. You're not going to burn in an eternal fire, sentenced by some authority figure.
You seem like someone who would vibe as well with Hardcore Zen by Brad Warner as I do. Highly recommended.
If you need someone to message as a friend, I'm always around. And even moreso if you read that book and would like to discuss 🌚
Ich versuche regelmäßig zu meditieren aber ich bin da leider viel zu inkonsequent...
Generell bin ich Fan des meditieren an sich und halte es für sehr sinnvoll, aber mit dem ganzen spirituellen Drumherum kann ich weniger anfangen.
Mein Einstieg in das Thema war Hardcore Zen von Brad Warner. Er ist Anhänger des japanischen Zen Buddhismus der (deutlich) weniger rituell und spirituell ist wie der "normale" Buddhismus. Das Buch ist halb Biographie und halb Einführun in den Zen Buddhismus, also wenn du dich für einen praktischen Einstieg und Meditation ohne Spiritualität interessierst dann wäre das ein guter Tip.
I'm reading Hardcore Zen: Punk Rock, Monster Movies, & the Truth about Reality, by Brad Warner.
Kind of a punk rock introduction to Zen Buddhism. Digging it so far.
Personally, I don’t think you’re going to find your answers on reddit. These seem like really deep-seated issues that would be best treated by a professional. Like a cognitive-behavioral or behavior modification therapist.
If I had a “hack,” it would be learning about Zen Buddhism. I went through a period of extreme anger and frustration. I was bitter at the world, and always had to be right/get the last word in. Everything was a battle. In hindsight it stemmed from feeling hurt.
The book I read—Hardcore Zen by Brad Warner—changed my life. It’s been 10 years since I read it and honestly don’t remember much of it, but I do recall how much lighter and freer I felt after reading it. It offered new perspectives and helped me recognize the things that actually matter in life. It helped me learn how to pick and choose my battles and, most importantly, how to let go.
(For the record, I realize this makes me sound like a born-again but it’s not like that at all—I’m am atheist. Buddhism is more like philosophy and life lessons than religion.)
