There's a new way to beg, and even in Buddhism there's a new way to be a monk. However, if you aren't part of some kind of Sangha it is possible to lose your Meditational practice after a few months as the waves of life sweep you away. So understand the importance of being around fellow Practitioners. It's important to find a Sangha. Begging is easy, but to do it with more ownership of your respect, it's better to do it around people who will welcome you both in a city and in a Temple. However, when I lived in a tree to prevent it from being cut down, learning things about Buddhism, we would get an overflow of food from the city, because many supported our efforts to save trees in our liberal town.

Re: Population control
I am Bv aware of the land with which we live with. I share more of a North American native concept of land and ownership. Where by we live with the land. North American natives up until 450 years ago would roam the land as the Buddha with the difference being they would hunt and forage where Buddha was a beggar.Mahabrahma wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 4:33 amWell wouldn't you know this by now?

Today in North America this way of roaming is illegal, I’m asking if this is illegal in India now? And was this also illegal in buddhas time as he was not part of a sangha as far as I know when he alone went into the forest to begin his practices?
