>>20455588reaching enlightenment is very difficult and many think it takes millions of lifetimes of dedication.
most buddhists just try to work towards getting a better reincarnation, so by getting good karma.
there are millions of buddhists but how many are monks?
if you remove all cravings and desire, as monks aim to do, you will have no incentive to harm other beings anyway.
why does someone need to be present to enforce reincarnation? does some being enforce gravity, or the strong nuclear force, or wind resistance?
>it is truly yourself the one who is to blame because of a possible reincarnationthat's right. can you really blame someone who was genetically hard wired for criminality and who was born in a horrible background? is it ethical for 'God' to punish this criminal by torturing them for eternity? (eternity is extremely long, imagine torturing someone for a billion years, now times it by infinity)
so yes, existence in this plane is undesirable and isn't fair. so cessation via nirvana is the best recourse, dont you think?
