Such a simple process but the Young Monk worked and made the Candles with such dedication & devotion. How rewarding to see the finished product, I will think of this every time I light a candle. For 12 Minutes 17 Seconds I was riveted to the screen as if I was watching a Hollywood Blockbuster. It is the simple things in life that are so rewarding and give us the most satisfaction.

Hi

[@gaoip1778]

Looking at this video reminded me of the time I did my novitiate at Wat Arun. The folding of the robes for formal and informal occasions. The morning and evening chantings. Wonderful memories but most importantly how I follow the precepts given by my preceptor till today. Sadhu sadhu sadhu 🙏. May the triple gem bless everyone and may they attain Nibbanic peace one day.

[@nickkeomahavong01]

A sleeping bag. in winter and summer, into the forest, nature has so much to offer. make a small fire and contemplate.. I save used wax.from candles, to make my own candles, always have done. I also make little stools to sit on, out of scrap wood. I make tall bird feeders, all by hand. I give them away . I also love feeding the wild birds. I can sow , I do all my mending , shortening ,trousers. myself. I play classical guitar . Just love watching these videos . I am learning life lessons from them all.

Have u ever heard, the pain that u experience right now Will make u bcome a stronger person n wise, one day. Not only u who suffered in this world, me2 already experience it(the darkness period in my life for 22 years). everyone should pay her/his karmic debts from this n previous life. If u are a weak person, stay away from egoic/selfish people, that kind of person find satisfaction to MK others down, sad, suffered. U must remember who the persons who MK u sad, stay away from them, save yrself. No one can save u, accept u, yrself. U hv to be smart.
