The Four Keys to Exit
The First Key about the principal problem:
I. The world is beautiful, but human life is suffering.
The Second Key about the cause of the principal problem: II. The cause of suffering is the power struggle.
The Third Key about the wrong solution: III. Power struggle can be slowed down, but cannot be stopped.
The Fourth Key about the right solution: IV. Slowing down power struggle is beautiful and gives peace.

Evolution of religion?
These are just viewpoints, not arguments.
They cannot and do not want to prevent any kind of objection.
This is an informative summary which entirely relies upon those arguments that appear on our other pages.

Buddhism is the best starting point not because Buddhists are better than others. Buddhism is the best starting point not because it would be perfect. Buddhism is the best starting point because this religion is the least authoritarian and the most sensitive to progress among all. And this is what is needed now. Buddhism does have some virtues. Theoretically. It does not twaddle. Neither about God, nor about love, nor about freedom. It does not twaddle about God, because it remains silent about what it cannot speak. It does not twaddle about love, but immediately stops at and focuses on suffering and it has compassion. It does not twaddle about freedom, but is the first and most intense teaching of self development. It does not whimper for help, but acts deliberately, without hesitation, and with responsibility. But Buddhism does have some faults too. Both theoretically and practically. Total bitterness. |

Is life suffering?
By experience, not for all. It is not, exactly because of all those who feel it is so, and because even Buddha says there is solution (way-out-life).
Is desire the cause of suffering?
Again, by experience, not for all. Above that, not all desires’ unsatisfaction is bad (e.g. desire for values). It is not a logical argument that ‘the cause of suffering is suffering’. Which value is the basis of qualifying? Is the unperturbed mood the most important? If unsatisfaction is the cause of suffering, then the promise of ‘endless satisfaction’ is not the promise of ‘desirelessness’.
Is perfect unconcern the end of suffering?
There is no perfect indifference, only unspoilt satisfaction in the craving after unsatisfaction.
Is the solution really the soul’s self-liquidation and self-stopping?
It only refuses physical suicide just to achieve a more substantial and more complete suicide.
‘Enlightenment’ can be the ‘end’ and not the ‘beginning’ only in the context of complete bitterness.

Life principles gathered in bullet points are exertively oversimplifying and cause an illusion of enlightening, while they are in fact obscuring. Yet they are practical. Let it be Buddha’s ‘Four Noble Truths’ or even the ‘Ten Commandments’.
Generally speaking, we can say that the militaristic-administrative standardization of communication and the languages is spreading. It has become a commonplace in modern business life that what cannot be said in 25 words is not clear-out enough to be worth paying attention to. But what can the ‘Reader’s Digest’ or the ’44 famous epics’ give back from all the exuberance in the epics and novels? And it is very likely that not even the most militaristic compactifyers communicate in the way of ‘25 words’ or ‘bullet points’ with those who are important to them.
It would have been an extremely great loss if Buddha had not had said anything other than the ‘Four Noble Truths’ or if only the ‘Ten Commandments’ had remained from the Bible.
Compact communication is especially useful in its own place, but obviously cannot substitute the emotional richness of conversation, the articulated inner thoughts, or the detailed paraphrasing.
This is the least we wanted to say about Neobuddhism in bullet points.
So let’s see at last.
