About Me

Theravada Buddhism monk with curiosity, openness, honesty and confidence. I have a healthy respect for others' belief so trying to convert others, for me, is tacky and useless.
But seriously, if you book your staying at my monastery, don't reschedule and delay your answer upon acceptance. It leaves a bad taste in your host's mouth; at best you are disorganized and at worst it shows that you are shopping around for "better" options and use him as your plan B. Regrettably I have encountered many of these casual opportunists.
