Living as a monk provided essential training in mastering the mind and managing the ego, which serves as a foundation for all subsequent professional work.

“my goal of becoming a monk was simple. I wanted to learn to master my mind, my ego, my envy, my jealousy, my comparison, and my illusion, and I wanted to serve.”

Monkhood involves selfless service and tirelessly serving others while remaining unattached to personal outcomes.

“monkhood is all about how we can selflessly please others and how we can tirelessly serve others”
