In the video of how you became a monk you mentioned this wasn't even the most interesting part.
That part started after you became a monk.
Can you tell us about the time after your ordination?
The reason I can't really is because
it deals with monks and lay people who are still alive and still around and still involved with many of the things and places that I am involved in.
So if I were to tell my story, I suppose I could tell it in such a way as to not incriminate other people.
But it... It...
It could be potentially problematic at this point in my life.
It's the kind of thing that you'd have to wait for the biography, or the autobiography.
If one day I were to write the autobiography of me, where I could sit down and...
regale you with or reflect upon my past but at this point it's um
Once I say it, it kind of sounds like an excuse because I could go through my monk's life and not mention any names, but talk about the things that happened to me, how then I met this person, then I met that person.
But right, that's the problem is that then there's people who know those people and know what I'm talking about.
And I have to be very, very careful that I frame things in such a way as to not incriminate people, because there's been a lot of crazy things happen in my monastic life.
So it may be something that has to wait for the distant future when it's all been cleared up and we can all laugh about it.
I suppose I can laugh about it now, but some people are not...
You know, I mean, it's easy to talk about other people, but to have other people talk about you is not so nice.
Anyway, that's sort of the idea of why I'd hesitate.
