Ahimsa and the golden rule in Christianity share a goal of sacrificing the fulfillment of selfish desires now for a spiritual reward later. If someone does not believe in attaining liberation or enlightenment or the kingdom of heaven, then ahimsa would not make sense from a selfish viewpoint. Ahimsa isn't just about self-abnegation, though. It is based on a goal of developing compassion and love for all beings as we all are reflections of the same divine spirit.

This is the dead soul of western Buddhism. All they have to preach are cringey, defeatist doctrines of acceptance and non-desire. A vapid, vacuous tool for the elites just like evangelical christianity. They are children of hedonism floating on an uncaring wind, believing they'll reach providence by neglecting themselves in a very real and important life they're living.


Liberation is not sacrificing an auspicious human life for vague promises of a reward in the afterlife. Human life is too precious to allow monsters to rape and pillage.

If you spiritually develop yourself, getting rid of your attachments to things that limit your capacities, you can get the rewards of the afterlife in your present life.
Just that they're not the kinds of lower material pleasures the average person is after.
You have to sacrifice your personal clingings and desires, otherwise you'll become like the elites who only act out of their lower desires.

In an ideal world, the regent class would consist of spiritually attuned individuals who understand the human purpose in the cosmos and act in accordance with it, neither using an excess of force nor too little of it.
In reality though, the ones who seek out that kind of power do so not out of compassion for mankind, but out of selfishness, making them into the rulers of today's world.
