Ah, to live alone, just doing your thing, preparing your meals, chopping wood.  Is this what leads to enlightenment?  I admire folks like Richard Proenneke who left it all behind and lived self-sufficiently in a log cabin he built himself.  So tibet has a whole bunch of these guys doing the same thing.  Is this the path to enlightenment?  Or is it immersing yourself in religious texts and ritualistic living.  Some of the budhist's claims are similar to LSD tirppers.  I do like listening to their quotes.  Laypeople living unbalanced lives because they feel the two extremes, love and hate.etc.  We cannot escape birth or death.  Release everything now, why wait?
