Closing down in the midst of pain is a denial of ture mountain monk behaviour. A superior mountain monk is free in feeling and action, even amidst great pain and hurt. If necessary a monk should live with a hurting heart rather than a closed one. He should learn to stay in the wound of pain and act from his own will even at what seems to be the hardest of times. Be free of others expectations and criticism and live by your own standards of "success". It really is quite stupid to constantly be trying to live up to other peoples expectations coz it can honestly never be done. And the most vital rule of becoming a mountain monk like me and my female comrade is never to take anyones judgement or opinion of yourself over your own opinion/judgement of yourself. Like which guy can know more about you that you?
