[Hightech88]

Any Samsters also wish to 看破红尘，远离世俗，一心向佛，不近女色？


"From dating to reading about Elon Musk to politics, he was in search of meaning in his early 20s. That all changed when he read about the Buddha and his monks.We had the awesome opportunity to speak with Phra Ryan before he took on full ordination. Here’s his story of becoming a monk at the prime of his career in the tech industry. This is also how he, as an only son and having family members of a different faith, arrived at this path.

Halfway through university, Ryan embarked on a spiritual journey into the deeper meaning of life, and found himself drawn towards Buddhism during a silent retreat in the Australian bush, which marked the beginning of an eight-year long journey into monkhood. This is his story."

Meditate on this to attain enlightenment...:

花花世界，犹如过眼云烟
亲情血脉，也不过是世俗牵绊.

汝爱我心 我怜汝色
以是因缘，经百千劫，常在缠缚
如今我才真的懂了
汝爱我心 我怜汝色
世间一切恩爱只不过是泡影

Don't look down on monks. They live a regimental lifestyle, wake up very early. Similar to professional soldiers.
