I wanted to ask a monk what attracted him to monastery life, if he ever missed anything from life outside the monastery and what was his favorite part of life as a monk.<br /><br />The fact that we ended up talking for quite a while was part of why the interview was so significant. Instead of just answering my questions, he asked me, my wife and my sister all about us (where we're from, what we're studying, etc.). And he was able to respond with wisdom based on the doctrine he has learned as a monk. We had a great time conversing, laughing and hearing and telling stories.<br /><br />The highlights of our conversation are in the "J Squared" column, the link for it is in the blog post.J.J.
