7 Years As a Monk in Thailand

Описание: In this video, I reflect on completing another rains retreat in Thailand, marking a special milestone—7 years as a Buddhist monk. It's been an incredible journey of growth, learning, and deepening my practice. After this rains retreat, I officially become 7 years old as a monk, and I want to share with you the lessons I've gained from living as a Buddhist monk in Thailand.

Throughout this video, I’ll walk you through 8 valuable tips I’ve picked up during this past year of practice. These insights have helped shape my life and my mindfulness practice, and I hope they can be of benefit to you as well. Whether you're on a spiritual path or simply seeking to improve your life, I believe these lessons are universally applicable.

I truly hope the wisdom shared here is helpful and that you can take something from it to apply to your own life. Thank you for watching, and may these teachings bring peace and clarity to your day. #monks #buddhism #mentalhealth
