Depends on the sect

shinto, get strong to fight monsters

>clear your mind so you can focus on heavy sets

doesn't matter what sect, the answer is yes

No, because you must let go of all desire. Even the desire for gainz.

Mahayana is what I'm looking into

no but updog is

removing desire is a desire within itself. Therefore, act out of virtue, not desire. Strength is a virtue, not a desire
Peace and blessed gains be upon you friend

what's updog?

It's inherently flawed as it proposes the pursuit of no desire which is, in of itself, a desire.

Stoicism is a more pragmatic approach imo, buddhism is cool on a philosophical level but even Siddhartha Gautama knew he needed to come out of the cave at some point

Stoicism is passive slavery.

nice digits but stoicism means to act out of cardinal virtues regardless of social status and emotions. There's more to stoic philosophy than Marcus Aurelius you know

you're supposed to realise that early on and then move to the next stage

Only Christ the redeemer can save you and your gains dyel

>desire to act out of virtue
wow great philosophy

Which is a desire and, thus, brings you back into the cycle.
>not realising life is already nirvana and the problems are the illusion

Islam is an warlord ideology. You can rape, murder and plunder infidels like nothing. That's why islam will take over Europe

>not based Sikhbros who exist only to remove kebab

Zen is where it's at if you can Wade through the 99% bullshit from Western hippyfags. I recommend the Heart Sutra.

Weird hivemind I was just thinking about this so rad a bit earlier today.
But the Right hand path desu seems like the most advanced level of a Jow Forums approach.

ligma balls!

Buddhism is about pure selflessness, and would not cater to ideals that revolve around pure personal gain and possibly vanity.
