Question: Why did the Cloud Monk invest in so many books over the last 7 years?

Answer: To complete the equivalent of a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science with full time self study via extensive daily reading and hands-on practice from 2016 until 2023 (6 years).

On Study and Practice: “If you practice, but don't study, it is blind. If you study, but don't practice, it is sterile.” – Buddhist Tien Tai Master Zhi Yi

You must integrate gnosis and praxis - knowledge and practice to bring about wisdom.
