guy who does buddhism slightly wrong and ends up in nevada after he dies
@maia
question - and how shitty person as a Buddhist or Hindu one has to be to be reborn as a rat, but the one that they test drugs on?

@DMTomas @maia

Trump, Gaetz, Johnson level.

@kevinrns @maia oh, I thought that must get you to a factory-farm born chicken level ;)

@DMTomas @maia

There are I think more species of beetle than there are people. So rebirth has lots of choices. There is a worm that only lives in the anus of Rhinos.

@kevinrns Thank you Fediverse for coming through with sharing deep arcana that we wouldn't have thought to ask but now can't get out of our minds. 😉
@kevinrns @maia but most of them hopefully have a more pleasant than not experience - factory-farm born chickens though… I thought the point of karma was to guide towards more enlightened experience in the next or the one after next life, spending it as a beetle would be - statistically more probable - agree, but, I would say, against the “vibes” of karma;)

@DMTomas @maia

Buddhist thought on karma and rebirth includes losing the gift of human form.

Karma's a bitch.

Its a gift because you can escape from suffering in human form. Buddhism is hard

Being human is a big powerful opportunity to understand kindness, Buddhists say.
