ABOUT US
Hi! We’re Jack and Gab, a goofy American couple from San Diego, California. Working long hours at a desk job made us feel like life was passing us by, so in June 2019, we quit our jobs and booked a one-way ticket to travel the world. We’ve been on the road ever since!
We’re passionate about visiting under-the-radar destinations. There are so many incredible hidden gems in the world that have yet to be discovered by the masses! We are also big supporters of sustainable tourism and environmental conservation.
Hey guys! Hope everyone is holding up well with all this craziness going on! Quick heads up that this was filmed about 3 weeks ago and we are currently back in the U.S. and self-quarantined :)
Jack I know you I met your couple. I am buddhism. So I am very proud of watching your video. And also I often that monastery I know that monk very kind. But it not good that you talke about Donations. That is our traditional-sporting for the monk. Thank you for your creating your video but I am so sorry for your a little bit parts of video in end. Could you cut down a lityle parts of end of video that you talking that did asking us dollar. That can misunderstand other people Buddhism. Actually " this monastery has just made rule for thounds of monks righnow. Donations is our tradition and counstem. May be some small monks can ask did donation. You can reject for it. That is not problem. That is traditions.Everybody people No need to pay for entrance fee whthen they visit to that Monastery. I have already red all comments but si comment is not good it is not fair. They abuse to Buddhism. That why please cut off a little bit your end of talking Us $. After you can visit ti our country. Bymyself I will drive you to the monastery. I give promise you that you don"t need to donate money. MgbToo Tour Gide
Thank you for being able to make Myanmar's beauty known to the world
Hello, I live in an international monastery in Myanmar. Please dont feel bad for not giving monks the money, because you have unknowingly helped the preservation of Buddhism. Now so many monks asking or accepting money. But in true practice, a monk is prohibited from asking and accepting money, either for himself or the monastery. Otherwise, a non-money donation should be done voluntarily based on devotion and faith.
As a Buddhist and a Burmese, it's not acceptable that a monk is asking for donation especially for a specific amount of money. People must feel free either donate or not.
It's true tho...i feel sorry for that..
yuppp
yea, as a myanmar, I agree on that.
true i am from myanmar tht is like kinda selfish i say coz plp donate like only 100$ if they are rich like that the amount that plp normal plp donate only 10 or 5 $ coz and monk can't ask to donate
A monk can ask for donations but not to a random person, they should have a main donor that donate to their every needs
Fantastic video guys!!! Thanks for all the positivity despite other world events 👍
Anytime!! Gotta stay positive with all this craziness happening
A great monks never ask for donations trust me
No it's for donation so they can buy chairs n tables to learn
Facts I was born in Burma I have never had a monk ask for donation that much . People know better to donate it on Their own for good sins
@@cchaw9777 actually, trust me I'm a local and monks don't ask for donations but they have boxes if u want to donate
I am so sorry to hear that monk asked you for donations. He should not ask at all. Please accept my apology on behalf. However glad to know you guys are back in one piece ans safe home. I really enjoyed watching your travel videos. On top of all so happy that you both had a good time.
I was shocked he asked for 200USD . monks are not supported asked for money at all. He should be reported to senior monk.

yes. I was shorked when they said.
I myself was a close Upsaka ( daryakar) of pongyi U Sandhobasa ( pongyi U San-daw-bar-tha), one of the direct disciples of The Great Ashin Zanaka sayadawgyi( 1900-1977). Many of my monks-teachers were educated in that monastery during Ashin Zanaka's time.
$200 is a not at all a small sum for any westerners travelling. It is a lot of cash. That monk's behaviour is breaching of Vinaya / monastic code and totally disgraced to our late sayadawgyi myer , to the monastery and to Myat Buddha's Sarsana itself.
The time has changed for the worse. Senior monks there ( mostly corrupted / no respect for Vinaya themselves ) at present time are very different from the senior monks ( very well-trained by Ashin Zanaka sayadawgyi himself) at old time. I take 'than wai ga'. Time has changed for the worse. The saying 'pongyi become Loo' 'Loo become be-loo' is happening there right now. Sad.
@@pamokkha22spsu89 It is a disgrace .PLease report to the senior monks. I know it's against the rules.

The monk shouldn’t be asking for a specific $ amount. They can say if you want to donate to contribute for the temple, then you can do so. It is how much you want to donate. I believe in most cases they will give you a donation slip.
wow, lovely and thanks for such video.
Beautiful vlog thank you ❤
As a monk, he's not supposed to ask for the donation at all.
JaXmine CoCo Right
dammmn $200 ? that's a disgrace!!! as a Burmese ik some rules that the monks should and shouldn't do and that's the one that they shouldn't do ! I m sooo embarrassed about that case but I promise myanmar is really beautiful and there are many authentic monks out there.Wish you guys the best with your works.
You people are very positive... All the best. Love from India
You guys are awesome! I wish I could travel around the world like you guys..thumbs up for your videos.
so cool !
Sorry bout the 200 $ donation.i Don't think it's supposed to happen. Glad u didn't go with it
မြန်မာပြည်ကပြည်သူ, ေတ့ကြိုဆိုပါတယ်😊
I live in myanmar 🇲🇲
1:13 Jack you really nailed it. You sound like a local
I'm a devout Buddhist from Myanmar and Buddhist Monks are not allowed to beg for a certain amount of money per strict Buddha's rules as a donation. He was breaking his principles as an ordained monk.
Sorry to know that he is asking donations.
It's NOT that Buddhist monks can do.
That makes him that he is no longer Buddhist monk and he should be removed.
Very shameful for his manner I apologized for his behavior.
He asked for money for donation to buy chairs n tables for the students to lear
@@cchaw9777 You believe him!It is against Buddha's teaching to ask for donation,more shameful is he asked for specific amount!
@@cchaw9777 that is a lie
@@emmahart7440yeh sorry for tht
I live in amapura
As a former monk myself that sort of behavior from the monk is not acceptable at all, if the senior monk were to find out he would be rid of his title as a monk. Also it is preferred that you take socks off in a Buddhist site. Great vid btw love the content.
💖💖💖
Buddha forbids monk to hold money!
They can't even touch it!
That's the strict rule!
"Money and women the two enemies of monk'' just metaphor!
❤❤❤❤
Wonderful video!
Warmly welcome Back to Myanmar
The monk asking you money is fraud. Should be reported. As a Bumese, feel so embarrassed about it. Buddha said Buddhism will be destroyed only by monks, not outsiders.
You guys should have complained about 200 USD. Monks are not allowed to ask for money by the rules of Buddha. By the way I am pleased you guys had an amazing time in my country.
Sadu sadu sadu
Hi , I am from Myanmar, a Buddhist man.We are not allowed to wear boots and socks in the Buddhist campus.We are pay respect to your Churches.
Every body who are capable should donate to Buddhist Monks. Thanks. P. P. Sahu. Bhubaneswar. Odisha. India.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
As Buddhist, the monk is a disgrace to ask for donation.. I hope this thing get reported to senior monk..
Wow inspired. We are also doing a vlog.
How the situation w the coronavirus down there??
You should visit to jade pagoda
Hi.. Jack n Gab, thank you for your sharing.. Do they start to use Grab again now in Mandalay? (The tuk tuk service was by Grab, wasn't it)
As a Burmese myself I am kinda mad that the monk asked for 200$ donation that is a lot . We r not that kind of people that beg for money . Only if the person wants to donate then it is allowed
👐👐👐👐🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
A monk can not demand or accept the money. You guys should report it to the monastery in charge because that is against the buddhist teaching. If you want to donate please drop at donation counter or donation box displayed. Thank
I'm also Buddhist monks to, but I never go to Myanmar
NOTHING BUT TEMPLES
Mingalar
.
...he asked for a donation???
Normally the people are the one who would offer the donation to the monks.
Jack and Gab, safe journey throughout Myanmar. Best sunset photos and thank you for them. But disappointed about the demand by the "Buddhist monk" who demanded $200 US dollars. Very bad and insincere. Despite being brought up as a Buddhist, I have left all religion behind as they are the cause of so much angst and deaths throughout the world. Sorry if I intrude on to your page for his rant, because I am shocked by his demand.
jack when you see the buudha you should not point the buddha whith your fingers. In myanmar it not allowed.
That monk must be in some way related to the notorious Burmese junta...Lol
I don’t mean to be rude, but you’re not supposed to point at the Buddha
It was completely inappropriate for the monk to ask for a donation. Especially a Theravada monk. It was also inappropriate for you to wear a t-shirt with an alcoholic beverage ad on it into a temple. As you are traveling and being graciously welcomed as guests in foreign countries, cultures and religions, please be more mindful of being respectful.
$200?!!!!!!! that’s robbery
Beware of those monks!
monk asking 200$ donation ? he is not a monk
Are you guys are Buddha?
NANI!?
