Why become a monk?

By LP.River Pavuddhabalo

“Having ordained twice before in other programs, I found the Monk Life Project surpassed my expectations. Every care has been taken to adjust the program to the needs of Westerners, as well as to ensure the best meditation experience with top instructors.

When I first got to iMonastery I just immediately saw the vision of what it will become and found it extremely inspiring, a truly International temple, with a real feel of ancient authentic forest monastic tradition. Originally I thought to have a short term ordination to recharge my spiritual battery, but a combination of meditation exceeding expectations and the perfect environment for further spiritual practice I rapidly was moved to resolve to ordain for life.

Every day is a delight, far removed from what seems to be a world of increasing gloom. Highly recommend all spiritual seekers to try out the Monk Life.”
