Today I wanted to offer some reflections about my time as a Novice Buddhist monk.
Why on earth did I go from working in the finance sector of London to becoming a Buddhist monk?
What was it like? What are the daily routine like for a Buddhist monk?
Why did monastic life seem so simliar to boarding school but in a good way?
What were some of the good things about being a Buddhist monk?
And what about some of the negatives?
What were my struggles and my aha moments?
In this video I talk about what it was like to live as a monastic for 3 years. I talk about my mental health problems and how I tried to commit suicide while I was there.
I also talk about how healing it was and how it transformed my life.
Any questions please do let me know. Warm regards, Piers
