hi Ananda

Thank you.
Ok, I knew already it was kind of a naive question...

Expecting to find easy answers for such a, probably, complex endeavour. But yes there is a certain pull in me for that, not to follow anyone blindly at all, but to be in a place of peace and harmony and where people dedicate themselves to self-knowledge and where some of them (eg the teachers) at least know what they are taling about! So no place with dogma, but a place of support and where there is time and space for one to dedicate himself/herself to self-knowledge. This is a place I would like to be in, at least for a while. It seems buddhist temples and monasteries fit best in this description but I am not totally sure.
Thanks anyway and I will keep on looking! When one is ready teh answeres will appear

P.S.: I agree with you, there is no need to go and do such a thing for spiritual progress to occurr. Not at all. But if a honest drive is in one to do so I believ also there is no harm in pursuing it. The inner guru we so much talk about

It is different for each one and that is just fine I believe.
