Non-Buddhism

My conception of non-buddhism is greatly influenced by François Laruelle’s non-philosophy or, as he called it in his later work, non-standard philosophy. I am updating and re-publishing this heuristic/guide with the hope that some x-buddhist practitioner might read it and feels called to heresy.

It is only of the heretic…that one can say that they do not need to “exit” [Buddhism] because they never “entered” it with hands, feet, and soul bound, but that they took responsibility for transforming it. (Laruelle, From Decision to Heresy: Experiments in Non-Standard Thought, 284)

I believe that it is only by fashioning it into a heretical mutation that Buddhism can be averted from its current slide into superficiality and irrelevancy.
