Episode Synopsis

This episode, I take you to Sammajeewa Buddhist Temple in Minuwangoda, a town in Sri Lanka's West. During my travels in Sri Lanka, I thought it would be interesting to spend a couple of weeks at a Buddhist temple to learn more about the lifestyle of a Buddhist monk, learn more about Buddhist philosophy, and observe how this is practiced in a temple. Here, I met Bhante Subodhi, a lovely monk who started the temple in Minuwangoda. I hope you enjoy this short interview with Bhante Subodhi, who shares insight into his personal experience as a Buddhist monk. At the end (from about 27 mins) he also shares a loving kindness meditation for you to experience.
