mind:just meditation and"life is suffering"..buddha realized this so he was awakened
reality:in even the least mystical form called theravada the goal is cessation of cravings,liberation from birth and death and siddhis.
in tantra and mahayana the goal is usely to go to a eternal paradise called sukhavati.nirvana here means becoming a "god" with pure bliss and omniscience.meditation here is more than some relaxation scheme,its ways to havd OBE and is focused on a buddha so you get many blessings and possibely siddhis.
common mind:buddhism is complete nonviolence
reality:ahimsa or nonviolence is a law in buddhism but self defence is allowed .according to guru rinpoche a swat valley ruler who became a buddha and destroyed the demons ruld in tibet and introduced tantric buddhism to tibet,the cakravartin kalki will destroy islam and muslims and he is a boddhisatva ...rinpoche prophecied the united states and I think aeroplanes so hes pretty reliable.
Buddhism also has wealth dieties and even a cupid buddha(a certain manjushri incarnation bewitches women for men)
also in real buddhism there are infinite buddhas and sexual yoga is a way to enlightenment
also hell exist and heaven(deva rebirth),but also eternal paradise (sukhavati,abhirati)wich is easy to get to with proper chanting or practices.
Buddhas work diligently to save beings from suffering .the highest virtue in buddhism is compassion.
