#buddhacharita
it's funny because when you read the Buddhacharita, which is an account of the life of the Buddha, in the beginning Gautama Siddhartha is a prince in a tower who's been insulated from all troubles, and then he goes out and he encounters the Four Signs:
You can eat all organic food, drink green juice every day, do yoga, get vitamin D and touch grass… and still become disabled.

Wellness culture can’t save you from disability. What’s worse, most wellness “gurus” will blame you when you become ill.

Wellness culture is toxic & eugenics adjacent.

✨Attainment is not only achieved in forests,
the salvation of ascetics can be accomplished even in a city; thought and effort are the true means. The forest badge etc are the coward's signs.
