daveAustin Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 ...when is a religion no longer a religion..... ...and what happens to the moral fabric of that society... ...just look around I guess..... Most novice monks are there out of custom and tradition not trying to achieve Nirvana These things are to be expected, occasionally. Indeed, but seems even senior monks are not interested in enlightenment either; well, the spiritual kind that is. They are just blokes in orange cloth.
