We're seeing more and more of this kinda story as each year ticks by. Human consciousness is rising and we can see where real value resides more clearly
I want to tell you something it is not required to be a monk to follow path of sanatan Dharma. You can be with family. And do scientists work. Rather regulatory principal help all other things.
“I’ve had to let go of crutches to really learn that I can walk. I really don’t need the perks of a high paying job, to find happiness.” I felt that in my soul! Reminds me of this book entitled “The Happiness Project” by Gretchen Rubin, that was recommended to me. Now I recommend it to you.
I feel you ,bro. I might actually do the same very soon, God willing. I just wouldn't go to budhism/hinduism I think. I've seen quite much stuff in this world. I'm 25 yrs old, but I can already almost summarise this life. I believe every person has to follow their own personal legend. The biggest desire of their heart.
i dont know if you will read this for it has been over 3 years but. who is this one that says: i dont have the courage? is it you or the ego? it's the ego trying to hold you from going, for it will be his end. you yourself must confirm this yourself and see YOU, your true self has no need for courage.
Fascinating story, what i am wondering is if he is still a monk? Does anybody knows? That is a thing which is not often heard, and which i think is important to know.
There once lived in Greece a holy man Elder Paisios (died in 1994). During his life he developed his relationship with God really strong and was gifted with all kinds of spiritual gifts. He could answer people's questions before they would ask him. Hundreds of people would visit him everyday. One time atheist guy asked him: What good monks do out in the desert? And why dont they go into the world and help people?? -Monks are the church's signalmen. When they make contact with God through prayer.. Then God comes and helps even more than had the monk been working in the world. One more riffle man was usless, but when the airforce got there...the battle was won.
Freedom of mind is the most valuable,i am buddhist and going to be a buddhist monk forever. The first mission is visiting HRH Dalai lama at Daramsala to listen his Dharma.
I rather work in a village helping the people in anything for free in the farms accepting few grains rice and beans and fruits as gifts for 15 hours a day instead of working 6 8 hour days for beer weekends with friends money cars houses wich only are the same as anything else but are selfish n hurt others.
@@Chebab-Chebab i would love to have a father ,son ,daughter who can teach spirituality and peace to the world.. i wish i had that intelligence. I wish i was also chosen one....this is real sacrifice without harming poor animal.
He says he has no money now? Where did he put his money though? If I were him, Id have used it for my survival and for the spiritual development of others. F.i. I would create some genuine monastery. Real serious spiritual one, not a hypocritical one. With a serious spiritual goal. From what holy people experience taught us, I know this world needs monks more than any other profession. Sadly not all cultures realise that...
neurologically, it's all about dopamine and seratonin. sensory pleasures give short term gratification dopamine "hits" (i think that's why pot is called "dope", ha!). Western societal values is all about these dopamine hits. conversely, seratonin (i.e. "serene" seratonin is how i remember it) provides long term joy, peace, gentleness... seratonin is cultivated by interacting with positive people, connecting with nature, cultivating the inner life through meditation (loving-kindness towards self and all beings), and leads to truth, beauty and goodness...
Sometimes I wonder why we are here on this Earth & then we all die at the end. Our destination is death, what's our purposes here on Earth; we thrive to have have a better, happier life for ourselves & our families/ kids. being successful in financially & socioeconomically, having all the luxuries & then we all going to die anyways. I'm a very positive & vibrant individual person but I can't help it, sometimes I have those feeling & it's doesn't make sense. First we're a baby, toddler, pre-teen, teenager, done with school in early 20's to mid 20's and then married kids around that age or in 30's, then middle, then golden age the die. That's normally the process of our lives. Nothing interesting. If I wasn't got married & didn't have kids, I probably want to be a monk too but being a spouse & a parent I feel obligated to fulfill my duty
I live in USA (asian American) came here when I was a little & well successful in most areas of my life but I'm not satisfied, I don't feel content, I feel something is missing. Does anyone feel that too? I tried volunteering, join so many hobbies, get personal trainer ( even I'm very fit), traveling etc but I'm not completely Happy 😩😩😢😭😦😧
Try reading bhagavad Gita . You are searching for permanent happiness which does not exist in this world. You are eternal soul changing bodies one life after another. When you will eventually realize God as your goal , you will try and attain him. This world is temporary nothing it worthwhile here because all situations here are standing on shaky ground.
Let me relate my experience with the Taoist deities, or gods, ( in our Chinese Toaist religion, heavenly beings, who do the duties to care n help people are call Gods, king of heavens ,we call him, the Jade emperor of heavens) I am Singaporean, but there was a time I was living in Malaysia. I was very fortunate to come across a Toaist Temple, which had Gods coming to cure illness for us people. I asked the same question, what purpose coming to earth. The reply.....we humans coming to earth are to cultivate a spiritual life, and so able to go a higher spiritual realm. He also said.... The highest order are Buddhas. In heavens, there millions of Buddhas and their powers are limitless. Even Gods are cultivating to become Buddhas. He himself ,though a deity in heavens was still cultivating to achieve Buddha stage. After understanding the truth, I became a Buddhist. I also learnt that Shakyamuni Buddha was actually a Bodhisattva in Nirvana, he felt compassion for the world, so he chose to be reborn, so to lead us out of Samsara. ( note.. Buddhas have escape rebirth, unless they want to be reborn) Hope my spiritual experiences with hevenly Toaist deities or Gods, will help people to have a better understanding on purpose of life on earth. Note.. in Toaism religion, we have mediums to connect to the heavenly spirits.
First of all, why you calling this video How do you become a Monk and than video a Friar ? And yes God loves everybody; even this silly queen. God Bless him.
Not at all. You do not need to even care about existence of Thailand for that matter. Its a philosophy. Browse over the internet. Read about the path of becoming and being a monk. Start from the apartment where you live. Thailand was just like your surrounding before Monks were born. ;)
lazer cage there are various disciplines on being a monk... might as well read about catholic monks, the carthusians, trappists, their discipline have produced a lot of holy men both from christian and other perspectives....
Trust in Jesus he died for your sins, believe the gospel. Repent!!! If you do sin confess your sins, ask him to help you overcome your sins he will. Obey Jesus, live by his teachings, be led by the Holy Spirit. The Lord is coming soon you must live by his teachings. The love of God is beyond our understanding God bless,./.,
Fr Louie Goad.. Not true that Jesues is the only true God. You are narrow minded. All Godly religions that teach compassion, integrity, are true. Jesus is one of the heavenly God but not the only God that can save the world. I had several spritual encounters with Buddha. I had also had a spiritual encounter with Jesus.
tsering phuntsok ...It's not fair to say Jesus is fake. I am Buddhist, I had several spiritual encounters with Buddha, but I ever had one encounter with Jesus. This open up my mind that all Godly religions are true. I prefer Buddhism, , , because that is my affinity with Buddha. Through Buddhsim,, one can gain enlightenment and ultimately nirvana, , the highest heavenly realm.
Jesus Christ is Lord. As Hare Krsnas we respect him as the son of God and as Guru. He is an incarnation of Krsna known as Shaktavesha Avatar. You would do well to accept his teachings and mercy. Hare Krsna
In the Name of Allaah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful. May Peace and Blessings be upon the sincere searcher of truth. The True Originator of the Seven Heaven's and Earth and all in between sent Prophets and Messengers starting from the first man Adam to the seal and final Prophet Muhammad with one main message to the nations and people and that is there is No True God worthy of being worshipped except Allaah Exalted and Most High. Jesus was a Messenger of Allaah and his real name was Eesa ibn Mariam. The Qur'an is a confirmation of what came before it and is the real speech uncreated by man from the Lord of the Universe. Indeed Glorified is he above associated partners in worship to whom we will return on the Day of Resurrection when the Judgement shall take place for mankind. Kindest regards from heart to the reader.
I hate it when some people leaving a message saying their God is one true god... If your religion have taught you anything ... It will teach you not to compare and learn to love and respect all religion
U.S ambassador to Sudan Dr. Joseph D Stafford and his wife who is medical doctor as well have converted to Islam. German ambassador to Turkey Dr Murad Wilfried Hofmann converted to Islam. Sweden ambassador to Morocco Dr. Knut Johan Richard Bernström converted to Islam. British ambassador to Saudia Arabia Simon Collis converted to Islam. Below are former Islam and Muslims haters like you, they gained knowledge about Islam and they discovered all they knew about Islam was false. After discovering they were wrong about Islam, they did not stay neutral in their religious conviction but they converted to Islam, so in short from hating Islam to love Islam. Daniel Streich (presidential candidate in Switzerland) Joram Van Klaveren (Minister ) Arnoud Van Doorn (Minister ) Arthur Wagner (Minister) Former Islam haters quit their 6 figures salary for Islam.
But there are so many other people around the world also converted to other religion.... Let's not compare... All religion is good and on the same level ... No such thing one is better then others
@@pammir631 I know you are a Hindu, so you cannot accept the notion of one God concept, that is exactly Satan wants from all of humanity that is as per Islamic theology. I don't know whether you know this, Satan is the mortal enemy to humanity. I am sorry to tell you, you are living in the scheme of Satan, whereas Islam is the scheme of the God.
This guy is one of the lucky ones who are able to break free from this money matrix

You can be with family.
And do scientists work.
Rather regulatory principal help all other things.
Having a human consciousness sounds lame. Stonk
Good for you my brother. Sadly most people in society will not understand your motives but to me it makes perfect sense.
This is cool. Been thinking of doing this a lot lately. Living for money is a lame experience and we don’t need much in this life to be happy.
“I’ve had to let go of crutches to really learn that I can walk. I really don’t need the perks of a high paying job, to find happiness.” I felt that in my soul! Reminds me of this book entitled “The Happiness Project” by Gretchen Rubin, that was recommended to me. Now I recommend it to you.
I can definitely relate to this story 😊 thanks for sharing.
If you're happy that's all that matters...money doesn't mean everything.
Anthony C. doesnt mean anything
I'm thinking about becoming a monk
did u become one?
Same.
Me too
Me too
Yeah same
I feel you ,bro. I might actually do the same very soon, God willing. I just wouldn't go to budhism/hinduism I think. I've seen quite much stuff in this world.

In simple words, follow your heart.
Ya, man.
@Thirsty Catholicism?
Thirsty have you read the vedas, or attempted to follow the eightfold path at all?
How can you judge this path?
Respect, I don’t have the courage to become one but I did lots of meditation with mindfulness, concentration and wisdom of insight.
i dont know if you will read this for it has been over 3 years but.
who is this one that says: i dont have the courage?
is it you or the ego?
it's the ego trying to hold you from going, for it will be his end.
you yourself must confirm this yourself and see YOU, your true self has no need for courage.
This guy find back to his soul He doesnt sell it for money

Good on him.
I hope he still content being a monk.
In different life circumstances I would consider doing the same.

may God sustain your vocation, as a fellow monk i pray for you let us all be faithful to the end st Benedict tells his sons monks
It seems that he is specifically a Hare Krishna monk rather than a Hindu Monk.
He's a hare krishna and that ie either the nyc iskcon temple or the offshoot "bhakti center" owned by iskcon swami radanath.
I rather work in a village helping the people in anything for free in the farms accepting few grains rice and beans and fruits as gifts for 15 hours a day instead of working 6 8 hour days for beer weekends with friends money cars houses wich only are the same as anything else but are selfish n hurt others.
Maybe he just made enough to retire and this monk thing is just how he saves on room and board.
He is truly a genuine person that's why he was a misfit in Wall St.
Very inspiring
I want to be a monk, but I got a wife and child to care of. Maybe in the next life..
With that statement, you already are more worthy of my respect than Gautama. He left his cousin/wife and his child (named 'fetter').
@@Chebab-Chebab he didnt leave them on their own.. they were left with all the wealth he had and his kingdom..

He is non muslim my brother.
I visited Mount Athos in Greece a month ago. I sow all this Monasterie town and these monks and I can see your point very clear.
Real monasticism is in Christianity
Sadhu
Wise man and women become Buddist~
No try looking for the Good Lord
he is hare Krishna not hindu.
Hare Krishna is a recent(1960s) movement derived out of Hinduism. Its the same, worship of Krishna, a Hindu Deity.
