dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I definitely agree 'craving' is a better translation. You'll find 'desire' all over in older translations still. I like to just use the terms Tanha and Chanda themselves when it makes sense. It was in the sutta I posted above that Brahma Sahampati convinced the Buddha to teach after he thought it may not be possible to teach people what he experienced. I'm sure it gets mentioned elsewhere since there's a lot of repetition.
