In fact I was ever literally save from a deadly fall by a Buddha. That was a miraculous moment, still vividly in my mind.

Hi Nick and thanks for this post; really appreciate seeing the transformation taking place in the men - their faces tell a lot and it was also great seeing these more mature men. I couldn’t help but think why they would travel with so much baggage when the first order of business is to divest one’s life and self of all possessions. It made me think either they didn’t think it through fully or they weren’t properly prepared ahead of time for what was to come. Your messages always force me into deep thinking. 😊 Also, I now have my copy of your book. Thanks 🙏 🙏🙏

Some questions: - Did you have to learn the Thai language and the Pali language? - When there is rainy weather (e.g. during alms round), do the monks use umbrellas, or do their robes just get soaked? During cold weather, do you wear special clothes to keep warm? - Can an 18-year-old ordain as a monk or do you just stay novice until you are 20 years old? Can you even join the program at that age? - If a bhikkhu breaks one of the precepts, will he be able to keep his monkhood if he admits his mistake? If so, is there a limit to how many times this is possible?
