Do buddhist monks practice escapism or have they grasped a divine truth about life and the evolution of the soul for a world beyond what we presume to be reality?

    Buddhism is the opposite of escapism. It’s waking up, which means engaging with life consciously and being present. The sleep that buddhists seek to wake from is the escapism.

    Buddhism is fundamentally about healing the trauma of existing, by facing existence willingly.
