Have you ever wondered about the journey of becoming a Buddhist monk and its impact on one's life? Join us as we uncover the experience of our co-host, Zaw Maw, and the valuable tools he gained through his monkhood journey in Myanmar as an adolescent. We'll share these tools and insights with you and show how exploring past experiences can help us better understand our present selves.

In this episode, we dive into a Buddhist monk's daily life, from the monastery's structure to the practice of almsgiving and meditation. Zaw shares his experience with Buddhist fasting and how it affected his mindfulness and concentration. He also discusses the evening routine of Dharma talks with the local community, which played a significant role in his spiritual development.

As we explore the impact of Zaw's time as a Buddhist monk in his teenage years, we'll discuss the power of an empty mind, the discipline and obedience of monks, and the harmony between nature and the mind. We'll also examine how Buddhism has become a more accessible resource for Zaw in his journey of recovery and sobriety. We invite you, our listeners, to reach out to us with questions from this episode, and we look forward to answering them in our next episode.
