What's Going on in the Zen Monastery

[Infinite Tsukuyomi]

I remember Leo mentioning the thin walls in Japan, here's confirmation of that and apparently they do indeed spend lots of time cleaning over meditation. 

If you truly have ADHD, the cleaning can be a great way to get the mind to shut up at least.

It seems like one of these monsteries might be a great way to discipline yourself into introspection perhaps, but less so for meditation retreat style work.

If you become really conscious, you will see that cleaning is just happening, no one is doing the cleaning.

I have already, see my post Death of control on a 16 minute car drive. Driving was occurring on it's own, as was anything at all. Also see my song, inspired by this first glimpse. "No one's at the wheel, I don't believe it".

Yeah, thats Zen monasteries for you. You gotta go to a Theraveda one if you want to seriously meditate.
