Conversation with an American Monk
Conversation with an American Monk | My Life as a Monk
Today, I get the privilege to sit down with Luang Pi Pete. He is a newly ordained monk from America. For over half of his life, he has dreamed of one day ordaining as a Buddhist monk. During this conversation, we get a behind the scenes look into the monk life. We discuss ordination, hair shaving, challenges & obstacles, the training, meditation, and so much more. I hope this interview can inspire you to develop yourself and continue diligently along the spiritual path. Enjoy! #monks #buddhism #meditation
