>A rather beautiful symbolic representation of this is the Tibetan practice of the sand mandala. These are beautiful works of art made by carefully placing grains of colored sand. Depending on the size of the mandala, this can take anywhere from days to months. Once it's complete, they say a prayer, destroy the artwork, and cast the sand into the sea. And yet, here you are, using a picture of such a moment capture in time, to try to advocate for your interpretation of an ancient written work, and why we should just accept something getting worse and cope with powerlessness in a situation (even moreso when people keep pointing out that stuff like emulation exists lmfao).
Don't get me wrong, I get the whole "look upon my works ye might, and tremble" line of thought and all. It just seems like a fuckton of what buddists claim to espouse, they don't actually hold close to their hearts (much less those on the internet, and even moreso someone posting on 4chan such as (You)), not to mention that it is a line of philosophy that is absolutely a reflection of its time and the realities faced then.
There's a whole lot more that there is neither the time nor is this the right place to go over, but needless to say my misgivings on buddism (and particularly modern interpretations of it) isn't exactly something whimsical and done just to argue with you.
You are a double-nigger for trying to use your interpretation of buddism to advocate against information preservation, though.
