RE: I Met a Buddhist Monk When I Was 22: Part 2

in #buddhism8 years ago

I've spent 10 days with some Tibetan monks fasting, and also later in life I did some interviews with some Tibetan monks for a documentary looking into their views on certain ancient scriptures. There are three things going on.... 1) Some can't handle life and run to monkhood. 2) Some seek divinity and dive into the religion, not questioning, and doing "good" within the exoteric religious doctrine. 3) Really wise masters or lamas who have been deep into the inner worlds and esoteric paths of their traditions. It all depends on which of these we spend time with. Peace, ww.
