        I tend to be cautious about being over eager to make work for
 other people. Funny how easy it is for a group to vote in fasvour of
 something as long as they themselves do not have to do any extra work
 (I am not directing this to any individual in particular).

        I would prefer to see the people who are going to do the work
 buy into this proposal before I would vote in favour. Otherwise, I
 personally have no objection to this.

 number of teachers and I have given up a great number of pleasures. I
 have fasted, been celibate and stayed awake nights seeking
 enlightenment. I have given up everything I was asked to give up and
 I have suffered, but I have not been enlightened.  What should I do?"
