>>a lack of worldliness
Isn’t that one of the goals of Buddhist monasticism.
All are Buddhist, but few are aware that they are.
Very Zen-like, that Buddhism.
“Monasticism (from Greek: monachos — a solitary person) is the religious practice in which one renounces worldly pursuits in order to fully devote one’s life to spiritual work.”
“worldliness - the quality or character of being intellectually sophisticated and worldly through cultivation or experience or disillusionment”
Arcy did not demonstrates his or her worldliness in the first post in this thread.
