BUDDHISM AND LEAVING THE IDEA OF A GOD
“There is the stream of thought, one thought following after another in succession, each thought coming into existence and becoming non-existent at the same moment, that’s all; there is no thinker of thought, no soul. There is no god. It’s all a delusion. We shall only be ourselves when this delusion has vanished.” – Siddhartha…

A Night Bathing Darkness
The night sky wrapped up by the dark mobile clouds hovering around from the distant horizon; dark spirits of the dead walking around on the streets without any physical hindrance; souls getting transported into another realm at the dead of the night; all the living creatures fast asleep in their deep slumber, completely oblivious to…

BUDDHISM AND EMBRACING THE JARRING REALITY
“Pain is certain. Suffering is optional.” – Siddhartha Gautama Life is fundamentally suffering; there’s nothing but misery and agony everywhere you go; everything you see and in everyday you wake up. There’s nothing but absolute hollowness and lamentation and loathing in each and every human being residing in this absurd and abstract creation. It may…

A STUPID ARTICLE ON MUSIC
Post Rock, Jazz, Melancholic Post Rock, Rock, Hard Metal; nothing could pierce past the wall of suffering and agony that my heart was having to bear that dark and bleak night. Every time sadness emerged within, I would turn on some music and let the beats and sound of the guitar chords penetrate through my…
