Hello all! Well I guess like most people do I'm going through that stage of life where im trying to find purpose and meaning in this wierd thing called exsistance!. I feel that I want to acomplish more in my life than just finishing school and joining the workforce and retireing ect.... so was thinking at the end of this year with the money i have saved up, of going overseas and going on a religious type journey.
Now I'm talking about such things as possibly becoming a Buddhist monk for 6 to 12 months and doing the Hundi maybee Middle eastern thing for 6 to 12 months. Now this would be raw spirituality and I know that 12 months as a monk i will be stripped of all the luxuries of the western world and would have to live off bare essentials for survival but feel that it could be one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and may help me find meaning:D. So im just wondering what are peoples thoughts on doing somthing like this? how one would go about doing this and what would be some of the best places in the world to visit like Tibet ect...
Would appreciate your thoughts
