Forest Monk
===========


I wonder what would be like, a person who lived far away in the 
past, devoted to Yoga or Buddhism, while living in a Forest.

Maybe this person had very few tools.  Of course, or had no tools 
whatsoever.

I imagine that maybe, this person's most work would be to look at 
the craving for putting food inside his/hers body, and try living 
without consuming food.  Thinking about it, that would be an 
extreme.  Maybe living of foresting, without eating bugs and 
without eating animals...  Just eating plants.

What a feat!  Today, we Humans, have lost all saying on whenever 
to eat food.  We feel the craving, and go to buy and eat what we 
want.  It definitely would be more liberating to not depend on 
food.  I wonder what the teachings of the ancient people living 
in Forest, would be about.
