BUDDHISM HAS TO BE LIVED OUT IN DAILY LIFE NOT MERELY IN A MONASTERY

My Lama used to say that we need monastics but not ensconced in
monasteries forever. We need monastics to go into the world where
lay people live. We need to practice with each other. It is not in
special, controlled environments where we make progress; it is at the
market, on the road, in the office, at home with our families that we
live the Dharma. - Tashi Nyima
