I know a guy who got mixed up with the Yakuza several years ago and now his life has fallen apart. He was a respected craftsman but his physical appearance has become a shell of his former self and now he's apparently homeless. Recently he sought refuge in a Zen Buddhist temple to try and turn his life around and apparently once he entered the gates and began to speak with someone they gently took him by the arm and led him back outside.
It sounds like he's got some really awful karma. I remember a story about one of the contributors here who sold his soul to a demon and a mosque took him in. Obviously there are unknown details to this situation, but generally speaking what would you recommend for someone in this predicament? Keep knocking on doors until he finds a place that can help?
