"Although there is no evidence for writing before Aśoka, the accuracy of oral transmission should not be underestimated. The Buddhist community was full of Brahmins who knew that the Vedic educational system had transmitted a mass of difficult texts, verbatim, in an increasingly archaic language, for more than a thousand years. Since the early Buddhists required a different means of oral transmission, for quite different texts, other mnemonic techniques were developed, based on communal chanting (saṅgīti). The texts explicitly state that this method was to be employed, and their actual form shows that it was, on a grand scale." - Wynne, Alexander. Did the Buddha exist? JOCBS. 2019(16): 98–148.

In this conversation, I explore the concepts of Nirvana, enlightenment, and the interconnectedness of existence, drawing from Julius Evola's insights as well as my own understanding of Vajrayana Dharma.
The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts beyond mere escapism, highlighting the relationship between Buddhism and Indo-European religions.
I aim to clarify misconceptions about enlightenment and the nature of reality, advocating for a deeper appreciation of both Buddhist and Indo-European spiritual traditions.

Sutemi is the repudiation of hesitation.
The warrior who achieves sutemi embraces his destiny with a clarity that is both terrifying and beautiful. His courage does not seek the applause of men. It is silent, internal, a pulse that courses through the veins, feeds every muscle and thought. It is in this surrender that one finds not weakness but transcendence; the body becomes an instrument of absolute will, and the spirit, liberated from fear, tastes the ecstasy of its own finitude. There is no morality imposed from outside. There is only the immediacy of the act, and the consciousness that to live without this surrender is to live partially, in shadows of possibility rather than in the incandescent reality of being.
Sutemi is not annihilation; it is the affirmation of life through its most extreme confrontation. It is the ultimate witness to one’s own existence.
