Post-industrial Buddhism is what it is. Yeah like it’d be great to do that in a cave or forest or open prairie but who the fuck can afford those things?
Abandoned buildings are free as long as you don’t fuck with the native inhabitants’ meth.
I would just worry of asbestos or heavy metal contamination in the buildings, especially if I’m sleeping on or near the floor
All the good caves are taken.
who the fuck can afford those things?
Anybody? Where do you live that hanging out in the forest costs money?
Transportation to and from the forest isn’t free.
Also some places have laws against camping on public land to discourage homelessness and these would likely fall afoul of those.
Uh… that isn’t normal.
Honey, there hasn’t been an ounce of “normal” anywhere since at least 2001.
This is a bit intense but praxticrs like this have been used not only by the Buddhists but also the internet’s favourite emperor Marcus Aurelius for example. It seems to be really good for you. For a more feasible exercise just tape a square onto the floor and only leave that box for hygiene, work, food and walks. You sleep in the box you meditate in the box and you exercise in the box.
That square is my bed and my therapist was concerned when I said I didn’t leave it.
