Wow, it's been two years since I left my world behind in Malibu, California, USA to become a Buddhist monk in Thailand. It was not easy to leave my home, family, and friends, private practice, job, dance company, and the beautiful beaches. Living the life of a monk is simple, but definitely not easy. As monks, we try to train ourselves each day to become better and stronger human begins. Monkhood has taught me so many beautiful life lessons and I wanted to share what I learned. Hopefully, this can help you to improve your life as well. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. I hope you enjoy. #buddhistmonk #monk #buddhism
