Veeky Forums how do I leave humanity behind and become a fit monk who lives in the mountains and disregards material...
Have you tried leaving humanity behind, being a fit monk and disregarding material things?
Give away all your things except one tunic, a razor, a bowl, a scoop and mutant powder.
The key to enlightenment is living without greed, pain, ego, or fear. Cover every mirror in your house and slowly give things up. In a couple months you should be down to 1-2 drab outfits. Eat simple food, with minimal processing and cooking involved and drink only water. Accept that you have no control over anything around you, but perfect control over yourself. Meditate at least an hour daily.
Lads, I don't believe in the supernatural, so genuine monkdom is out of bounds unless I lie - but what's the closest equivalent I can do?
Monks don't believe in the supernatural either.

Exactly what do buddhists believe, then?
That would make you an ascetic.
>I'm a pathetic loser at life, so I'm considering going coocoon* mode. While at it, I'll embrace the NEET lifestyle 24/7, I'll perform glorified eastern bodyweight exercises, I'll focus my autism on controlling my movements in autismal details and basically I'll became an hobo since I'm disregarding mom's basement as well and I've no job and no followers nor worshippers throwing money at me for doing absolutely nothing

The word monk literally means "practitioner of a religion"

It's simple.

You could always just smoke a bunch of weed and pretend like you are one.
>hungry ghosts
>reincarnation
>heavenly realm
Confirmed for clueless Westerner who thinks Buddhism isn't just as based on superstition and bullshit as Abrahamic religions.
I hate those fucking cunts.
>Technically, Buddhism isn't a religion!!!
What is reincarnation
What is karma
What are the neraka
What are the preta
What are the Asuras
What are the Devas
Who are the Buddhas
>read meditations by marcus aurelius
>lift weights
>accept that you will always be a virgin
>move to the woods
There ya go
Except technically it is. So those aren't even able to argue semantics.
>A Scoop
C'mon
They have a whole fucking cosmology that contains like several thousand planets and worlds, where some are super hellish and others are fucking surreal paradises full of nice beautiful people.
Buddhism is crazy. But buddhism is super comfy and Chinese buddhist chants make me feel so damn calm.
Don't forget the Discourses of Epictetus and the Enchiridion.
>implying that all isn't natural forces of the universe we live in
Again, there is nothing SUPERnatural about these things.
