Completely celibate. No more Ben Folds either. Don't think they have too much in the way of electronic music playing devices in Buddhist temples.

You have to shave your head and have an arrow tattooed on your scalp, arms, legs and penis, I think.

Move to Asia or India. Ask to join. Do what they say.

From what I understand you can find inner peace from the repetition of meditation.

Really? I was just kidding, but I'm sure you have to get a tattoo or something.

Can you wake before the sun is up EACH DAY for prayer and meditation?

Just thought of something. We talkin' zen buddhism or what? Because I wouldn't have the patience to live at such a slow pace like the zen buddhists do.

No, I was under the impression we're conversing bout the Indian version.

Would that be Theraveda or Mahayana?

@30,861 (Nega !34Kas0OdzM)
...if I am allowed to stay up the night before to make sure I do, then yes!

@30,867 (Ph !5pM9NZR/l6)
Zen is my favourite sect.

I like the idea of zen buddhism, I just couldn't see myself fully living it.

Theravada was what I had in mind during this thread.
Why?
@30,880 (stickybuns !bENfolDsOU)
Uh... lol.

Of course.

@30,892 (Leonidas !nBpim1wazU)
What else would it be?
Also, AFAIK Aang didn't use his Airbender tattoo when he had archived this level of mastery, but that might just be my memory tricking me.
@30,897 (Ph !5pM9NZR/l6)
You can't beat the oldies, heh. :D
