A Quote by Alan Watts on tao

Das ursprüngliche Ideal des Mönches (bikkhu) war ein sehr hohes; in sozialer Hinsicht hatte er die wichtigste Aufgabe, Führer, Weiser und Freund der Volksgemeinschaft zu sein. Zum Entgelt dafür wurde er mit Nahrungsmitteln beschenkt. Da die buddhistischen Grundsätze ihm die höchste Ehrfurcht vor allen Dingen dieser Welt zur Pflicht machten, war er bemüht, alles, was man ihm gab, bis zum äußersten zu nutzen, so daß nichts der Verschwendung heimfiel.
