Can folks on the ground confirm that this is still correct? I have certain questions that are probably outside the ken of someone who hasn't done this himself. (would address them to a monastery here in the US, but I've lost touch with the one where I practiced years ago...) Have you yourself known any such individuals, with possibility to connect me with one? Questions like: What level of involvement/ commitment would normally be expected? Actually living at a monastery (as an anagārika), living close as a five-precept lay devotee (upāsaka), etc.? --- dleuk, thank you for the thoughtful & informative post.
