00:00:00,031 --> 00:00:28,620
when and where will you be in Thailand and would I be able to study with you there yeah sure wherever I am you'll be able to study with me that's the second part of the question no when and where will I be in Thailand we don't have dates yet but I'm pretty much confirmed or set on going to Thailand after the rains so I would say sometime in November

2
00:00:30,558 --> 00:00:38,863
probably towards the end middle or end of november i'll be in thailand and then i'm kind of um

3
00:00:42,218 --> 00:00:56,013
kind of committed to being in Thailand until February, maybe even the end of February, which is a bit difficult because I only can get a three-month visa, so I'll probably have to extend that to a one-year visa.

4
00:00:56,994 --> 00:00:59,116
But anyway, that's when I'll be there, this time.

5
00:01:00,517 --> 00:01:09,627
And from the looks of it, I'll be going back and forth, so I might even spend the next rains in Thailand, where I will be...

6
00:01:09,607 --> 00:01:16,176
I'm going to try to spend a month with my teacher, and we'll see how that goes.

7
00:01:17,177 --> 00:01:29,553
And then another three months in this forest monastery, looking after the forest monastery where I was before in Thailand, while the monk was looking after it now, goes home.

8
00:01:30,675 --> 00:01:36,222
So I'm going to try to put directions to that place up on the internet somewhere.

9
00:01:36,202 --> 00:01:40,970
because I may not have such good communication while I'm there.

10
00:01:40,990 --> 00:01:47,842
So I'd rather not be arranging people's directions or helping people to get there.

11
00:01:47,902 --> 00:01:50,847
I'll put directions and explanations how to get there.

12
00:01:50,967 --> 00:01:58,159
And if you're clever enough and lucky enough to find the place, then you're welcome to come and study and practice.

13
00:01:58,139 --> 00:02:05,728
rather than have to arrange transportation or contact people and so on.

14
00:02:06,329 --> 00:02:09,032
Because it's not in the middle of town.

15
00:02:09,853 --> 00:02:11,555
It's quite out in the wilderness.

16
00:02:11,936 --> 00:02:15,100
It's not difficult to find, actually, and the directions are quite simple.

17
00:02:16,001 --> 00:02:17,863
But it's not a very well-known place.

18
00:02:19,845 --> 00:02:22,088
So you have to give a little bit of direction to someone.

19
00:02:24,515 --> 00:02:27,901
And yeah, you're welcome to come and study.

20
00:02:27,921 --> 00:02:32,469
You have to let us know because kutis are limited and there are already people coming.

21
00:02:32,650 --> 00:02:43,890
Eva, one of my old students from Thailand, who's a very good friend, is already planning to come to Thailand with her daughter.

22
00:02:43,870 --> 00:03:13,877
who was in her stomach in her womb while she was meditating with me and she didn't know it at first I think she didn't know it and then she found out and then she found out that her husband was cheating on her and then she came back to practice meditation knowing all this and then she went back to her home in

23
00:03:13,857 --> 00:03:42,565
Romania I think she's in Romania and raised her daughter and we've been in contact ever since and she said she's coming I don't know how old her daughter is now must be five years or something three years five years I can but she'll be coming and I think there's a couple I think Laurie the man who's here from from Finland I think he will be joining me in Thailand if he's still in the boat

24
00:03:43,895 --> 00:03:47,304
So it's not going to be an empty monastery.

25
00:03:47,324 --> 00:03:48,728
You'll have to let me know soon.

26
00:03:48,788 --> 00:03:52,278
So we will have to have some communication.

27
00:03:52,859 --> 00:03:56,790
But yeah, you kind of have to let us know so we can make sure there's space for you.
