If I attempt to follow the advice of the Gurus I've come into contact with, I tend to find myself sleeping a lot. (The forefront of Asian humor, to be sure.) And...well.....we got to meditate, right? Practically manditory after the 3rd Reich, it would seem. So...I just....nevermind. Peace. People like me aren't supposed to have computers and high-speed internet access. ![]() |

well.. .this would have to be pretty far back.. as by about 4000 B.C.E in India, the civilization had advanced enough that there were large monastaries and groups of monks and nuns that were living off of alms. of course... as i like to describe my religious praxis... chop wood, carry water. it is in the mundane, day to day chores of life that we have the chance to awaken, in my view, not by sitting in seclusion. |
