If you meet Buddha on this campus, kill him.
We believe that no meaning that comes from outside of ourselves is real. This village enables you to find your Master/Authority/Buddhahood/Christhood in your-self, and recognize it. The village strives to help you to give up your Master without giving up the SEARCH. Paths are made by your walking and creating one for yourself.
