Buddhism wank.
I don't know why![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif)
buddhists on LJ gets trolled so much, but it results in posts like this where the OP, a 21 year old living in Japan, tells everyone that they need to learn classical Chinese and move to a temple or something before they're real Buddhists, and also that there's not enough academic rigor among lay Buddhists.
As you can imagine, some members of the community find this an oddly angry post from someone who obviously views himself as so enlightened.
Choice bits include:
- someone asking Captain Academic to cite a source and being told that the OP isn't "writing a paper or a thesis" and the OP then then mangling the romanization of a well-known Japanese author on the subject.
- The OP insisting he's not really angry, he's just instigating chaos to get replies. (I'd totally call that as falling under the jurisimprudence law on "it was a sociological experiment", personally.)
- A friend of the OP coming in to tell everyone how all his Malay and Thai friends think Westerners can't be Buddhists and therefore he is right, with diversions into the Mean Kids In High School calling themselves Buddhist and how people should move somewhere else if they're not close enough to a temple.
- Dharmapunk calling the OP on sounding like a whiny teenager.
