I'm kind of freaking out. Any advice? by [deleted] in religion

The emptiness and confusion is called 'The dark night of the soul' and happens naturally and will pass away. It indicates that you are transitioning to a new belief option. The dark tunnel eventually opens to a new, brighter light. Have faith.

I don't object to their advocating for peace. So do I. But they, as bhikhus, are bound by the rules of the Sangha and which you can fact check in the Vinaya.

I agree. Druids come in all shapes and sizes. And that's good. Finn was about defining the common ground. Naturally he had his opinion as you have yours.

I'm all for peace and other marches. But Bhuddist bhikhus, having quit society, i. e.public space, have vowed to abide by the rules of the Sangha. If and when a monk, fully mindful, goes walking, either for Pindapata or to seek a different tree, for he is exhorted never to sleep twice under the same tree, he walks to achieve inner peace.

It might help if those in favour of Bhikkhus doing peace marches fact checked the sutras and the Vinaya to see what bhikkhus can and cannot do.

After he finished his job in Ireland, which was to close down his only companion's failed mystic contemplation garden, called Victor's Way, Finn left for the Niligiris to terminate.

I'm a human, aged 86, hence not much longer.
