Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 King: The fifth guru, sir? Dattatreya: This all-pervading and all-embracing space is my fifth guru. Space has room for the sun, moon, and stars and yet, it remains untouched and unconfined. I, too, must have room for all the diversities, and still remain unaffected by what I contain. All visible and invisible objects may have their rightful place within me, but they have no power to confine my consciousness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Zen-buddhists apparently work in or around their monasteries with agriculture thus feeding themselves. That is a much better solution according to my opinion than to beg.
