Read siddhartha by herman Hesse

Not a bad idea. I kind of wish I had done something like this before I had a wife and kid, responsibilities. You can always bail if you don’t like it
Ayden Powell
fastest way to enlightenment if youre trying to go that route
Leo Anderson
Came so fucking close. I would say absolutely do it.
Dr David Hawkins says at a certain point you must surrender everything that one would perceive as responsibilities in the pursuit of the Lord. He will take care of everything. You will get to a point that you can't really function in the world anyway.
I'm not encouraging you to do this, but if you have reached the level of ecstasy I suppose it will happen of its own accord.

Probably lost on all of you. Best book ever
Life Divine by Sri Aurobindo.
Leo Lee
Thank you for the recommendation.
My only issue with Sri Aurobindo was his dedication to his twin flame, the Mother.
If you believe that consciousness can be measured, please find a list of True Teachers below:
Kayden Torres
The Gita
Jaxson Taylor
Monks live in monasteries and this lifestyle doesn't really exist in western culture.
You could take the hermitpill though.
Blake Rivera
Sell all your possessions, buy chainlink, become a monk
Gabriel Russell
Cool. Thread just got interesting.
Nice list. Plotinus, ramana maharshi
Nisargadatta Maharaj - I am That. Excellent book!
Asher Garcia
I like that they Aurobindo and Mirra Alfassa, both have very different style. Sometimes that helps to understand their teachings better. Because you have two more angles. Different conduits.
Like there is nice short booklet "The Psychic Being" quotes from both. Aurobindo from Book, Mother from Q & A. Some people can more easily connect through different teachers.
Joseph Price
yes
erm...wait, maybe no....

Why not try a 10 Vipassana course. 10 hours meditation a day. They are free and everywhere. Has excellent explanation on Buddhism in it. See if you like it.
Question is what you want. Inner peace. Have inner experience of the Absolute through dedicated practice. Or explore the divinity in life itself. Or a combination.
Ryder Walker
Not even joking but I actually did this. I Invested £90k into crypto, quit my job and went to live in a Buddhist monastery. I was there for 1.7 years. Unless you're going to go to a monastery is Asia (Burma, Sri Lanka, or Thailand) you'll be living a very westernized lifestyle.
My piece of serious advice to you, user: dedicate 1 month+ per year to staying at a monastery/silent retreat and take what you learn to live a wholesome, virtuous life in the world.
Most of the guys I knew in the monastery were there because they didn't fit in with the world, had issues with anxiety or were extreme introverts.
Read some teachings of Zen patriarchs.
Participate, dont avoid.
Hudson Price
Good advise. Dealing with your shit is part of the path.

Red Zen at War, It brings the militant philsophy of buddhism with roots in Ikko-Ikki and other militant groups. It gives you a new light of Buddhism. It is a beautiful religion with philosophical views on war
James Cruz
How much did you make from your 90k investment?
Luke Gray
Completely agree. Thanks. I will have to read the booklet.
Hmm that doesn't sound so healthy.
Tremendous unimagined depths of shit.
Do you walk a particular path?
I've found the Pathway of Negation to be very effective. It involves surrendering the ego rather than trying to overcome it.
I would recommend Transcending Levels of Consciousness. Practical guide to moving through the mind to love, joy ecstasy and into peace and beyond.

Money is the most shallow form of wealth.

Nothing I got fucked. It was mid 2018 I invested everything. I consolidated all my holdings into QNT Feb 2019, made a few trades and I've literally just today moved into slight profit territory! Futures looking bright, user. I was down to £20,000 at one point.
Nolan Ross
Do-nothing meditation. The only way is no way.
Isaac Adams
That is some serious boomer-tier myopia.
>Duuude just like abandon your wife and child haha this world is all shadows and dust anyways I am the warrior of my daydreams just seek enlightenment bro fuck providing for the life that you've brought into the world.
Kill yourself
Elijah Young
There are a ton of monasteries still in existence. They generally have a series of initiations to see if the applicant is suited to the monastic lifestyle, but if you're serious about it, it isn't hard to seek them out, and they aren't jealously guarded.
Adrian Cox
I would say its important to have a balanced approach. I have done loads of things. Zen Meditation, vipassana, Kung FU/Tai CHi/ CHi Kung. Shadow work.
Going immediately to the most hardcore practices, without good foundation can lead to lot of issues aswell. There is quality to work on become a good human being. Having a healthy Ego, before exploring transcending.
Just checked the path of negation. Seems legit.
I dont know if you ever checked Big Mind, Big Heart from Genpo Roshi. That was very nice aswell, as it gives place to all different sup part of the mind/ego. After all of them have a place, the more transcendend states come through.

>buying right before the big dump
lmao
Jaxon Moore
Here some BigMind. This is very cool You would like it.

Based. Cleaning up the ego before you try to let go of it. This is advice to follow.
Tyler Hughes
>buddhism is cool
I like what he did and and his story, but buddha had teachers as well. I prefer daoism and I don't know that I could do monastic life as I want a wife and kids someday but I do like the idea of being more recluse
