Description

Becoming a Buddhist monastic (monk or nun) is often a desire by Westerners new to the religion instead of staying a layperson. But should you? What does it entail? And, can you have a complete Buddhist experience as a layperson?
This episode's guest is Bhante Sanathavihari who is a Mexican American Theravada Buddhist monk from the Sarathchandra Buddhist Center in North Hollywood, California, and shares his experiences and insights.  This was a Zoom video session which you can watch on YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr3HYG0GzIU
Join Alan and Sanathavihari Bhikkhu as we discuss this topic in the video!
Send in a comment if you have any questions about the layperson or monastic life in Buddhism!
