Now how did he waste his life? Buddhist meditation can make you feel extremely good, better than most weed lol. Are you saying his life would have been spent better in the states making cheeseburgers all day long?

70 years and all he has to show for it are footprints.

When it becomes that much ritual and not enough experience... how can there be any growth.

Don't get me wrong - I use a lot of Buddhism in my own beliefs - but really....

What good is being enlightened if he spent most of his waking hours praying ?

Praying has an effect on the brain....so he is addicted to praying...instead of alcohol, food, gambling, drugs...its just another addiction....and gets off on that instead....sad in a way....like a computer geek not actually interacting with anyone in a normal fashion. His parents need spanking.

I seen old flooring bearing the weight of heavy tables...counters ect... and none of them ever left a trace even of the tables were unmoved for 70 years.

I've read about this work, totally brilliant. It's the thing that most amuses me when people claim some big time "gawd" experience, knowing what they are really doing. Robin Dunbar gives a good account of it in "The Human Story" as well.

There is actually not much difference between praying and what I do as an agnostic. Religions consider it praying when they ask Jesus/God for things. I just put out my thoughts into the universe and watch as they come back to me.

That's what I was thinking. The monk must really have been "antsy" during his prayers and pressed/rubbed his feet during prayers in order to leave an impression, that or his feet really sweat a lot, dampened the floor with the oil and sweat along with weight and friction causing the mark.

Edit to add: Really thinking about this, it would have to be his feet sweat a lot. Think if you left something like a planter on your deck that you watered to overfull everyday for even 10 years, when you move the planter there will be a similar type mark/indentation.
