Avoiding mistakes

[SilenceMonkey]

I like the idea of working half the year in some menial job, then the other half go into retreat. Then maybe more retreat as the years go on.

In the real world, taking six months off a year only works if you are in construction or if you are a nurse.

Sounds good. Or a janitor, a plummer or security guard.

Buddhists never get time off of being Buddhists, but hey, it’s the best job.

There is no such as a Buddhist in that sense. There is the Buddhadharma and there are those who attempt to practice it. This does not make that a special group. It is not an identity. It is a group of activities.
