Phra Dan (Bhante Dhammarakkhita, Bhikkhu) is a Theravada Buddhist Monk who lived in India from 2020, Thailand and now Sri Lanka. Born in Sussex, England in 1967. Educated by French Catholic Monks. A successful businessman in Estate Agency and Financial Services during the 1980's and 90's. Married, now divorced with 3 adult sons. 2000 marked change and travel including South Africa returning to the UK in 2003 to continue different work and business activities until 2012. Gradually materialistic values turned to renunciation, simplicity and meditation, living nomadically in an old Ford Transit van full time for 3 years. Van life and meditation led to Buddhism and a Thai Forest Tradition, Theravada Buddhist Monastery in the UK. During 2015 travelling the Buddhist Holy Sites of India, deep faith reinforced desire for Ordination. In 2020 after 5 years of intensive meditation practice between Thai Forest Monasteries in Thailand and England he was Ordained in India where he lived for 3 years until returning to Thailand in 2023 and now Sri Lanka.

being a pianist missing a finger would be hard for me, but I still think you are right, there will come day when I won’t be playing the piano anymore anyway.

Many thanks, Venerable Sir. I am always grateful for your wisdom and time. About your tooth, not that you have requested advice, it would be beneficial to have that (likely) cavity examined fully, especially if it irritated or sensitive to cold, sweet, or general stimulus. Allowing a cavity to continue will always result in root infection, the cure of which is root canal, or in cases where the root is fully damaged by a cavity, extraction. Better to spare the suffering and endure a simple dental filling now rather than a root canal later!

I didn't send the email but this sounds a lot like me! I have an eye condition in both eyes and will eventually need eye surgery which I am very much not looking forward to 😂😂

It's not as bad as you think. Usually laser procedures and don't even require general anaesthetic. Be happy and stay well

im just your average useless guy, but my take on "adult candies": if u do them like once a few months or once a year, im sure youve already tried immediately assuming meditating posture, and just went straight into it. great, isnt it? think of it as a sneak peek, and encouragement. a kickstarter. that in such an intoxicated state, youre able to experience an adulterated/ corrupted version of it, well, thats just PROOF that the REAL THING, is REAL, isnt it?!? so now imagine if u practiced with Sila, and did it the right way?? sorry i just had to chime in lol, been too long since i had some candies lmao
