Which is funny because the Buddha taught that we have no "souls" as we are all just parts of the full divine of the Universe. Huamns of course, warped Buddhism into a dogmatic religion like all other forms of organized population control.

suffering of the mind. THE MIND.

in buddhism, the self is an illusion. "soul"-- thorny semantics, best not even discussed.

also there really is no "divine" in buddhism. there is plenty fairytale shit inherited from hinduism, but when you boil it down to basics buddhism is an atheism-- or at very least perpendicular to/ unconcerned with/ theism, i.e., truck with gods or leave them alone, it doesn't matter.
