Ascetic

Lao-Tzu was unusual in the sense that even though he understood non-dualism he was also an ascetic, and he demanded that his students be ascetics. This led his students more to an experience of semi-dualism rather than non-dualism because if you believe you have to deny yourself worldly pleasures, then you’re making the illusion real through your resistance to it. ~ The Lifetimes When Jesus and Buddha Knew Each Other   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo
