Hung out yesterday with 2-decade Dharma friend, K. He's in from Seattle, visiting his mom. I was shocked to hear that he's quit Vajrayana — the 3rd close friend to do so in the last year.

Odd pattern: the students quitting are the serious students - the ones who did all the retreats, studied, practiced. The mediocre students don't seem to quit. For them, it's religion, not practice.

Once you realize that the practice is not the same thing as the religion, you leave the religion behind.
