      I've a question does it ever feel like to wear neutrals like white or creams? I mean how goes the color affect the moods and energy. It looks fiery. Just a curiosity from a psychological perspective.

    Dear Sadhu Nick, as someone who grew up listening to different spiritual figures of various faiths / spiritual authority - often times I was accustomed to hearing others teach me / guide / advice me from a point of someone who is "higher" in rank in spirituality as they spend more years meditating/ being a spiritual figure. You seem to be doing the opposite, what a breakthrough in a teacher! 🤲🏼🙏🏼✅🧚Even the title of your video, blew me away! 5 years as a monk - what I've learned. Instead of what I can teach you. It just shows your character as a human being, just humble & genuinely sharing what you have learned instead of schooling us. 🙏🏼
    I listened to you the entire video, dear Sadhu Nick do know you have grown into an incredible human being? It almost brought me to happy tears in the end when you even acknowledge that the longer you are a monk & a teacher for all of us, it sets you up on a higher pedestal and you genuinely are aware of that creates ego. I must say, I have yet to hear a spiritual leader demolish the ego with those simple words & the way you bring awareness to being a monk. As much as you are a monk & I am very proud to follow your wisdom, you also carry within a Simple Person that you are from the beginning. I truly think this is what sets you apart & will bring you to even bigger heights! I genuinely applaud all the good work you do, as a child who received spiritual books for free (the joy it brings!) I am so glad you were able to distribute your books to those in need, especially in the west. The act of giving in for free, when I am sure many can afford to pay a price, shows the pure intention of your teaching which is away from monetization of the soul. You have learned so much dear Sadhu & you sharing it authentically with all of us without a place of authority is what truly connects us to you. I hope it is not offensive to say this, I mean this as a compliment, you are that friend to many of us. Even in the form of pixels on our screen, you are that friend that will walk with us in this modern world. Much love & gratitude, AdamS_Lucky & Summer ⭐⭐⭐🤩🥰😍

    Dear Nick, congrats on your 5th anniversary of monk-hood. The happiness and inner peace you exude is wonderful, as is your generosity of knowledge and wisdom. 🙏 I loved this video not only for its content, but as a reminder of the beauty of Thai people. I've just spent 3 months in Thailand and was continually humbled by the generosity of spirit in the most simple of ways. I've never felt this happy and at peace other than being in a space that when you give with genuineness, a smile and an interest in other people, what you get back in return does so ten fold.

    Congratulations Venerable Nick!! I try to be humble and surround myself w/ humble people. I'ma simple person. I do meditate daily, 2x a day. I try to be positive but I do have moments, just recently I've developed panic attacks. I don't want to be negative and try to keep my mouth shut but this anxious feeln just doesn't let me, lol. I do need to work on these attacks and my mood alot more when feeln down. It gets harder and harder to hold it in. Thank you for your words of wisdom.

      You’re welcome. And if possible, try to find some healthy outlets such as exercise and a support system to help with the anxiety 😊

    Congratulations Bro Nick on your 5 year journey! I just want to thank you for all your sharings. I have learned so much from them most especially your sharing of the honest “struggle” of transitioning from your life before to your new vocation as a monk including the every now and then challenge as a monk. Makes me realize that it is ok to not be perfect,it is ok to be less motivated on some days..that it is normal..i just need to shift and pull myself together.
    I hope you continue to be a brother who will motivate and guide us. Blessings Brother!
