We are inded our own worst enemy sometimes.

Buddhism is a great practice, but even Buddha had his problems. He spent 30 years in luxury, then 6 to find enlightenment. He left his wife and child for selfish reasons. But this is celebrated. It shows how different our cultures indeed are, and how sacrifice must be made for the greater good sometimes. 

If any buddhists ever watch this, I am curious of one thing; If Buddha told his followers to find their own light, and leading the "middle way" was the right way, why do so many monks still withdraw from society? Why do  they put themselves through so much misery when proper living is right here, right now?  I have always wondered...
Much love to you all...
Namaste-
