Does Buddhism actually take you to tthe highest reality?

Almost went through with full disbelief in the reality of everything and saw a computer screen with lines of code appearing before me. Seemed that even in this state there was no end to suffering and that I would become part of the computer rather than be an individual or something. Is there actually no end to suffering or does Buddhism just take you to another false reality?

    Buddhism is a mix of a slightly erroneous but mostly wise metaphysical system, a pants-on-head retarded general praxis, and an exoteric temple-based religion which focuses on monasticism and charity. It's a mixed bag. No, Buddhism is not a system which will bring you up to ultimate good/"highest reality"

    If all buddhadharmas are perfectly complete, there is no subsequent achievement of awakening, since
    it has been present from the beginning. Since the nature of all
    dharmas is the same as those dharmas, just as they are, there is
    no origination and no cessation. If there is no origination and
    no cessation, there is no awakening

      There is awakening that leads to automatic ascension to the computer program of the void of nothingness. I want to know if there's more than this. There's no reason to assume it is the highest.

                You have a core belief that you are somehow alone and in separation without something. This is a belief in lack which blocks you in some ways.You likely already do have an eternal companion, but when you love yourself it doesn't really matter anymore either way. Removing the need for one will bring you closer to them somewhat. Otherwise you'll just end up with a mirror that will leave you in heartbreak because they reflect what you haven't healed yet or some fantasy that will leave you worse off in the long run.

                I don't think my soul has a nature it seems to be both good and evil at the same time. And I am scared of the evil side because we've seen what it is capable of from this world. I wish the only nature was good and unconditional love. I don't think I'll be able to balance out the good and evil side in this life though unless I have a spontaneous awakening.

      There is no awakening because the realty of being is the same as it always was, only the cognitive misconceptions were purified, which were just fixation on specific ideas. That's enlightenment. You should refrain from using quotes like that if you don't understand them yourself and will only end up misleading others, which is a big bad karma.

        The bodhisattva Lion’s Power then loudly exclaimed, “Manjushri,
        if you have in that way completed the bodhisattva stages and
        achieved all buddhadharmas, why have you not achieved buddhahood?”
        Manjushri replied, “If all buddhadharmas are perfectly complete, there is no subsequent achievement of awakening, since
        it has been present from the beginning. Since the nature of all
        dharmas is the same as those dharmas, just as they are, there is

        The bhagavat replied, “Children of family, it is so! It is just as you
        have said! Whoever recites the name of the youthful Manjushri
        generates merit far greater than that of someone who recites the
        names of sextillion buddhas. What need is there for me to speak
        of the recitation of the name of the tathagata All-Seeing? If you
        ask why, it is because the youthful Manjushri, during each and
        every kalpa, accomplishes an amount of benefit for beings that
        surpasses that accomplished by sextillion buddhas.”

          That doesn't disprove anything I said. There is no awakening because the reality of being, the Dharmakaya, never changed, it stayed just as it always was. But in the relative sense, not the ultimate sense, there is awakening which is the purification of wrong ideas, cognitively wrong ideas which make the eternally-pure Dharmakaya to project a duality of subject-object, good and evil, which is Samsara. Why don't you use your own words and knowledge next time? Not confident enough?

            Buddha's teachings are divided on two levels: the provisional, relative level, and the ultimate level which is the level as things truly are, beyond any ideas and conceptualizations, emptiness itself. The teaching you quoted pertains to the ultimate level, which says there's no awakening or enlightenment because the ground of being never changed fundamentally. But on the relative level there is enlightenment and also plenty, plenty of work to do before you get there. Good luck.

            Karma is empty.

            As I said the highest awakening makes you merge with the Brahman and become one with the computer simulation that is base reality. But you risk falling back here eventually because eternity doesn't allow you to exist in only one state forever or something.

                Wrong. If you were really enlightened you would have ascended to the brahman not stayed behind here. I know what I saw and felt. Lower forms of enlightenment are wrong we are evil by default.

                The Twelve Nidānas(Pali/Sanskrit: निदान Nidāna "cause, foundation, source or origin") are an application of the Buddhist concept of Pratītyasamutpāda (Dependent origination). They identify the origin of Dukkha (Suffering) to be in Avijja (ignorance). The twelve links in the chain of existence or causation; they are as follows:

                1) Avidya, ignorance or unenlightenment;
                2) Samskara, action, activity, conception, "dispositions";
                3) Vijnana, consciousness;
                4) Namarupa, name and form;
                5) Sadayatana, the six sense organs, i.e., eye, ear, nose, tongue, body and mind;
                6) Sparsa, contact, touch;
                7) Vedana, sensation, feeling;
                8) Trsna, thirst, desire, existing;
                9) Upadana, laying hold of, grasping;
                10) Bhava, being, existing;
                11) Jati, birth;
                12) Jaramarana, old age and death.

                Yes but the Buddha left some truths out so you would have to discover them for yourself.

                >But the highest state seems to be that good doesn't exist only evil and pain doesn't go away.

                It doesn't seem that way to me. It seems to me that good does exist and evil and pain go away.

                >There is no advantage to becoming enlightened
                I've read the that Buddha said words like "unexcelled bliss" "surpassing the heavenly" and "unalloyed happiness". I've heard the state of enlightenment referred to as victory which no one can turn into defeat. I've heard enlightenment called (paraphrasing) the end of sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair.

                There is a clear line of reason, I think, by which one can say "There is advantage to becoming enlightened".

                >but I guess you could be forced into it even if you didn't want it if you actively resist awakening.

                I have heard "There is no compulsion in religion."

                See above. Also I'll help you out. The following truths helped me see the highest reality.
                >nothing I can think of or interact with in the brain exists
                >no concept
                >no picture in the head
                >nothing I've seen, heard, read about or felt exists
                This allowed me to see the lines of code of base reality appearing in front of me.

                You've said advantage so much that if we knew each other in real life I'd have a heart-to-heart with you about your word usage and your views about life. Because I wish the best for everyone collectively.

                Then stop treating people like they aren't real. Even if it scares you, start small. Do things that are good for others, expecting nothing in return, merely because it is good. There is benefit and "profit" as it were in that, in this life and the next, but you'll never see it for yourself if you don't do it.

                Picrel is actually very ironic
                The hierarchy on this material plane is inverted. The people and entities with the most power and control on this material plane so far a.k.a. the """"""""el-ites"""""""" and the negative-dimensional gods they serve are actually at the bottom of the pyramid while the people and entities who are "losing at the game" are actually near the top of the pyramid. The one who want to enslave everyone forever and ever are actually enslaved themselves and only seek to impose their conditions on the rest of us. It's a bit funny when you think about it.

                Picrel: elites are ngmi and it will because they did it to themselves in an act of cosmic humour. They sow the seeds of their own defeat. Mindboggling but par for the course in this material plane

          Buddha's teachings are divided on two levels: the provisional, relative level, and the ultimate level which is the level as things truly are, beyond any ideas and conceptualizations, emptiness itself. The teaching you quoted pertains to the ultimate level, which says there's no awakening or enlightenment because the ground of being never changed fundamentally. But on the relative level there is enlightenment and also plenty, plenty of work to do before you get there. Good luck.

        Karma is a lie for the initiates since the ultimate awakening makes you accept that you are evil and that evil is all there is.

      Almost went through with full disbelief in the reality of everything and saw a computer screen with lines of code appearing before me. Seemed that even in this state there was no end to suffering and that I would become part of the computer rather than be an individual or something. Is there actually no end to suffering or does Buddhism just take you to another false reality?

      who told you you're an individual? can you live without air or food or water? you will always be part of the system.

    nah buddhists are all ignorant. i've never met one that is capable of acknowledging that other possibilities, beside "everyone being one" also exist. e.g. there are christain theologists/philosopists who fully acknowledge the abrahamic God may only exist in the bible, just believe there's more meaning to those tales than random stories that didn't stand the test of time.
    buddhists are all mad scared of questioning their view on the "true nature" of reality. they cannot put themselves in another worldview at all. regardless of that they often share incredibly valuable insight and are often good at teaching you things no one else could. but always take what they say with a pinch of salt because there's not a single buddhist who isn't buried in an insane level of denial, believing he knows the true nature of existence, which just cannot be known with a human brain in todays' age.

    e.g. why couldn't everyone be born in their own world as a God, completely independent of every other being in this universe we're currently in then, once developed enough enter a world like this to interact with other selves? how is this scenario impossible? a christian theologist (that isn't of the moronic kind) will fully acknowledge the possiblity, while there's not a single buddhist who'd even dare to entertain the thought.

      But the highest state seems to be that good doesn't exist only evil and pain doesn't go away. There is no advantage to becoming enlightened but I guess you could be forced into it even if you didn't want it if you actively resist awakening.

        It doesn't seem that way to me. It seems to me that good does exist and evil and pain go away.

        >There is no advantage to becoming enlightened
        I've read the that Buddha said words like "unexcelled bliss" "surpassing the heavenly" and "unalloyed happiness". I've heard the state of enlightenment referred to as victory which no one can turn into defeat. I've heard enlightenment called (paraphrasing) the end of sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair.

        There is a clear line of reason, I think, by which one can say "There is advantage to becoming enlightened".

        >but I guess you could be forced into it even if you didn't want it if you actively resist awakening.

        I have heard "There is no compulsion in religion."

    You need to accept suffering as part of your self. Like, when you first experience physical pain as a child you do everything to avoid it, then slowly you learn that mental happiness is more important and you can go out and exercise. running your first 20K is physically painful yet mentally stimulating, and you accept physical pain as part of your life because mental happiness and suffering is a higher guide.
    You still acknowledge pain as an important guide, e.g. you put your hand in fire it hurts so you remove it and thus keep your hand. In this case mental happiness doesn't override your physical pain and indeed it could be very dangerous to ignore it altogether. So you acknowledge your physical pain and unless there's a higher guide telling you that you should go through it, you let it guide you away from what you're doing.

    Now similar to the analogy of physical/mental pain and joy, there's an even higher level guide inside your mind that stands above positive or negative emotional states. Without this guide you could not properly experience serious negative emotional states. Think of grief. There's something inside us that tells us we should feel bad when we need to part from something truly precious to us, but if mental happiness was our highest guide we'd be ignore the emotion altogether and try distract our attention from it.

    As you become more comfortable with his higher guide that stands above mental pain, you become more accustomed to it and get the ability to experience various emotional states better and in more depth, just like your endurance of physical pain greatly enhances once you realize how your mental state is more important than your physical, how it "sees further into the future".

    So you will forever suffer, forever experience painful emotional states, but as you advance you will handle it much better, and will be able to see the beauty of suffering, the kind of beauty that you could never notice if you couldn't experience it.
