Buddhism is the only worthwhile religion

>No forced indoctrination, aggressive missionaries, or religious wars
>People just believe in it because it's based
>Doesn't involve magical sky daddies
>Doesn't make ridiculous claims about where the universe came from, just offers advice on how to live while we're here
>Similar to existentialism, a post-religious philosophy
>Basically suggests that you shut the fuck up and live in the moment

Some argue that the philosophy of stoicism was born from Buddhist influence. There are many basic principles that are identical.

Mantras can be seen just as a form of mental exercise to improve concentration or other qualities.

This is the main selling point. You're not asked to be a superstitious retard that believes things are handed to him. That's why the main practice is meditation, not praying.

Praying will never be superior to meditation. Meditation is a loose term to refer to many different forms of mental exercise that sharpen your mind, increase your concentration, memory, etc. Breath meditation is one but there are many others. It cannot even be compared because it is so much on another level. Praying compares better to affirmations new agers use to brainwash themselves that they can achieve X thing so their subconscious becomes better at recognizing the opportunities to achieve them, and then in the off chance they actually achieve it they will not make the cause-effect chain and believe it happened because of a higher power.

Praying can "work" but it is highly ineffective and expecting some higher power to solve your problems, be it "the universe" or the "creator god" instead of using your own mind to achieve it is pure nigger tier superstition. The superior people meditate, they sharpen their mind and achieve things on their own merit while shitskins and women indulge in superstition and expect things to come out of nothing.
