Married, now divorced with 3 adult sons. 2000 marked change and travel including South Africa returning to the UK in 2003 to continue different work and business activities until 2012. Gradually materialistic values turned to renunciation, simplicity and meditation, living nomadically in an old Ford Transit van full time for 3 years. Van life and meditation led to Buddhism and a Thai Forest Tradition, Theravada Buddhist Monastery in the UK. During 2015 travelling the Buddhist Holy Sites of India, deep faith reinforced desire for Ordination.

When you talk about letting the mind settle and become calm, does that mean when you suddently stop striving and it feels like you can stay in the meditation session forever? but in order for that to happen you need to let go sufficently?
Thank you for watching and your comments. I will talk about this in a Q&A's video coming soon.

Dear English Monk, Thank you very much for your kind and enlightening teachings. I have a question: Could you recommend some books, texts, or websites in English to study and reflect on the Noble Eightfold Path? I only have access to the "Tibet House, Merida branch," since I live in Mexico. However, my understanding is that their teachings are from the Mahayana school. I deeply appreciate your teachings, but I haven’t found any Theravada school near Merida. Thanks again for your kindly help. Regards Ricardo.
Hi I am a Buddhist from Sri Lanka. I would really recommend the book "What the Buddha taught" by Walpola Rahula Thero who is scholar monk Its available on Amazon too.Its one of the best books available on Theravada Buddhism.I have read it several times and still go back to it from time to time.Hope this helps.
Thank you for watching and your comments. I will talk about this in a Q&A's video coming soon.

So many rituals and customs to take one away from the Truth. Just be present.
