Relying on the Laity, monastics
At it's core it works out as if a person went to mountains to meditate, his friend then brings him food &amp; clothing. Eventually the amount of people interested in supporting this project grows. Then for some reason the supporters build something and invite the meditator to stay there. At some point there might be willingness and resources for others to become full time meditators. The supporters may equip the monastery with starlink and invite monks to publish books or monks might do so on their own initiative.
