I know you support the Dhamma Bros. and Vipassana Meditation
Rowan Tate haha. it's funny, I would almost prefer the lifestyle -- at least I would then have time for unending practice! Maybe having to go hold down jobs and earn a bunch of money and engage in a big messy distracting material world full of cravings is the bigger prison... ; )

C., so he may be headed there, and I have to say he has a lot of equanimity about it!
