Wow, we are much alike, except that I didn't drop out of school (though being fed up with it) and am imprisoned in a career. I would love to make the same step one day. :)

Do you know any countrys where you can go and just live and become a monk of the temple?
-
Thank you, I can see that you are a good man. I am still young and looking into Buddhism, not sure on which category of buddhism suits me best, but it seems that the general concepts of buddhism agree with my mind more so than christianity and other religions that I see around me. This video really helped me to start thinking.

why dont you guys lift weights and work out?

very clear story. It inspires me. Thank you.

Wow, it was the Tao Te Ching that started me on my path to.

The only thing that keeps my mind at peace in this suffering world is surfing.

No, thinking u have some responsibility or right to procreate is selfish. We needmore thinkers and LESS children.

i seem to have a problem understanding the rules about not having sex, i believe i could go my whole life without it. But i feel as though it would be selfish to not have children and not pass on children to the world.

whats your view on meditating with hallucinogenic drugs,
and the people who do it?

@Froubz You can watch my video on "Meditating on Drugs", just do a search for it.

Ok, so I will be the first. I am practicing sitting to start. I have been watching thoughts daily arise and cease. This has been very effective and analytical. It is becoming obvious where most of my suffering , small or larger is coming from. The meditations have brought some great insights and your videos and responses have been wonderful.
Thank you! Greatly appreciated :-)
Looking forward to more videos and insight

@mjakucinskas thanks for the feedback, but I was hoping you would post a video showing your meditation as a video response to my 200th video (on my youtube channel now). Watch that video, you'll understand.
yuttadhammo 1 year ago
Okay, let's make a deal: if my 200th video upload (now my channel video) gets video responses from 30 different people showing you practising prostration, walking, and sitting, I will tell the rest of the story :)
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I guess stories can be instructive as well.

I would love to become a monk, but the part about no money and no sex is too much for me.

@Ravelmoore if you want money and sex, what part of the monkhood, exactly, would you love?
