Venerable Bhante,
I thank you for your post. I did not follow the thread before this, but I
appreciate the way you write about your life story, in the way of Dhamma.
Also your life as a bhikkhu, renunciation as a kind of death, being
homeless, outside of society. About the burden.
I also read in the Commentary that becoming a bhikkhu is like a new birth.
With appreciation and respect,
Nina.
