Yep! ; I try to explain a few naive sounding facts to our friends at BWB all the time....follow me dear friend...search what I try to say...lonely I am in here....ask me everything about it. I am ready to answer...I have a thousand questions too. Never before did I find a place to launch my questions ever since the world wide web was opened for us simpletons here in Nepal. The time is now...ask P.S. Sometimes I even have the impression that some (not many..just a tiny few...) members try to "over-rule" my opinion...but I consider this as a natural thing...out of some degree of ignorance about other cultures! Don't ask me names...I will not play a game about this.It would lead to nothing! It's not YOU or You or You...ha-ha! I love you all.

Hajurba, I hope I haven't tried to over-rule your opinions. I've found your words to be very insightful and fascinating. My monastic experience was in the forests of western Thailand, near the Burmese border, but so many things you describe also fit almost exactly with my experience. Of course, one year in a monastery would not give me the same depth of insight as someone who was born and raised in a Buddhist culture. I hope to learn more from you as time goes on.

Incidentally, there was one Nepalese monk who stayed at our wat for a few months. He was far more familiar with the details of the Pali Canon than even our ajahn (abbot). More than that, he was extremely kind, gentle and generous with the rest of us, and we all looked to him as a source of inspiration and knowledge. It may just be my imagination, but I get the same sort of feeling when I read what you write. I may not have said it before, but I am grateful for you being here.
