I Was A Novice Buddhist Monk for Three Years - The Learnings, Challenges & Breakthroughs

 Today I wanted to offer some reflections about my time as a Novice Buddhist monk. Why on earth did I go from working in the finance sector of London to becoming a Buddhist monk? What was it like? What are the daily routine like for a Buddhist monk? Why did monastic life seem so simliar to boarding school but in a good way? What were some of the good things about being a Buddhist monk? And what about some of the negatives? What were my struggles and my aha moments? In this video I talk about what it was like to live as a monastic for 3 years. I talk about my mental health problems and how I tried to commit suicide while I was there. I also talk about how healing it was and how it transformed my life. Any questions please do let me know. Warm regards, Piers ---Piers is an author and a men's transformational coach and therapist who works mainly with trauma, boarding school issues, addictions and relationship problems. He also runs online men's groups for ex-boarders, retreats and a podcast called An Evolving Man. He is also the author of How to Survive and Thrive in Challenging Times.
