Chapter 1: The Quest for Simplicity

The more I reflect on my spiritual journey, the clearer it becomes that achieving enlightenment requires stepping away from the complexities of daily life. Living as a householder has become overwhelming, making it difficult to pursue my spiritual path. I understand why the Buddha chose to abandon his worldly existence.

I aspire to lead a simpler life, distanced from the hustle and bustle of society. Practicing the path to enlightenment amid everyday distractions is immensely challenging. However, I recognize that this transformation must occur gradually. I plan to save for essentials like a tent and a sleeping bag while ensuring my current living space remains in decent condition.

One of my considerations is how to take my pet jackdaw, who cannot fly. Managing a bird on the road presents its own set of challenges, particularly concerning cleanliness. I’ve contemplated setting up my tent close to a tree, allowing her to perch there safely overnight.

This journey will undoubtedly require careful planning and patience. Abruptly leaving my current life is not feasible; instead, I aim to make this transition by next summer.

I believe that solitude, away from others and the chaos of the world, is essential for me to truly comprehend nibbana/nirvana — the cessation of suffering. The constant stress of household responsibilities and social interactions hinders my ability to engage deeply in meditation. Just last night, after enduring an hour of raucous noise from my intoxicated neighbors, I realized it was time for a change.

The weight of ongoing repairs, the financial burden of living expenses, and the anxiety that accompanies them create an unbearable environment. My health issues complicate my ability to seek employment, and even if I could find work, the stress it would entail would only detract from my spiritual pursuits.

I must find a way to escape this cycle.
