they don't need fancy potions or artifices to get off..
no eye of newt, ginseng root, hot pepper unguents,
accupressure treatments, mayahanan tantric exercises,
etc. needed.

No body parts of mine have ever asked for that..
independent and freedom loving that they are..
There's been no need. They do their thing. I do mine.

I think that this is the BBC, trying to get people to watch their
news.
Did you notice he left?
They may ask him to come back, but he was allowed to refuse and persue
the life he thought he wanted.
So, they didn't drag him back or threaten his family in any way.
It's tough to be a monk.
They eat once a day and pray for many hours.
FYI
My Geshe raised a boy at the monastery and he loves him like a
father.
He wasn't mistreated, and they do hug children.
What they don't do, is hit them, beat them, yell at them, etc.
Plenty of that elsewhere, but nt among Buddhists.
It's one of the things I love most about them, they love everyone.
He was raised with love, to care about all people.
The 14th Dalai Lama had some of these feelings when he was young.
You could read about his life.
The Lama, popularly called Geshe Yeshe, was very western monk, and
did a lot of things other Tibetan monks didn't do.
He is the person, this boy is supposed to be the reincarnation of.
I think he might act the way this boy has acted.
He'll learn all about Spanish culture and then either remain a lay
Buddhist, or go back and retake monks vows.
I very strongly disagree with your suggestion about harming his
mother.
She supported him leaving, and staying out.
She didn't beat him or whine at him or try to force him to go back.
Why harm her?
I don't understand your anger.
I have a son, who is very independent.
Children these days don't want to be in a stuffy old building
chanting.
They want to play and sing and dance, etc.
Maybe you should read about the 5th Dalai Lama.
He was really unconventional.
A poet, and quite wild.
So are many people who don't fit into the traditional lama lifestyle.
Happily we Buddhists are forgiving and tolerant..
I love that about Buddhism, we take all kinds, and love them, perfect
or imperfect.
Love and compassion, is our inner work.
I hope you will rethink this issue.

Yes, I suppose miners, deep sea fisherman,
sewer cleaners and the like,
have a relatively easy life.
