@lizzie doesnt christianity have a concept similar to buddha-nature. is it the logos?
@georgia yeah buddha-nature lands pretty close to a lot of christian conceptions of the logos. its often not emphasized (especially in the west) 🥀
@ikeWren @lizzie I wish there were a proper hindu sect that saw jesus as a descent of the Supreme Lord. usually syncretists just consider him a perfected/accomplished/enlightened being. new agers call him an "ascended master".
but my personal experience of God is that jesus and krishna are both full avataras. I see the bhagavad gita in the mahabharata with an equal eye to the sermon on the mount in the gospels.
@georgia @lizzie @ikeWren i dont know you at all so i dont know youre exact life story but it feels like youre windowshopping religion.
im not saying religions need to be dogmatically followed but like this feels way to handwavey and "liberal" so to speak i dont know the right word for it.
again like i dont know why i sent that, unnecessarily assholeish for somebody i barely know. sorry im gonna delete it.
