VOICED : Ir a Tailandia para ser monje

Thailand is famous for its beautiful beaches, but it also attracts Westerners seeking to become Buddhist monks. The monastic life offers freedom from worldly struggles but requires significant sacrifices. Influential mentors like Luang Po Sumedo, an American monk, highlight Buddhism's pragmatic and non-theistic appeal. However, the disciplined monastic life is challenging, with strict rules and isolation. Many monks eventually leave, though they value the experience. While tourists see Thailand as paradise, monks seek deeper enlightenment.
