I am a monk for two years. I became a monk in February of 2005. Many asked me why I became a monk. I simply answer because I like it. Why I became a monk I don't know but it was the most important experience in my life I ever had.
It gave me a new way; gave me a different view of the life and the world. It changed me, changed me completely. It helped me to understand me and to understand what I can do and what my duty is.
I became a monk in a small monastery located in a small village in kegalle named Meedenuya. I still can remember the date I became a monk. I was so happy that day even my parents and all relatives cried a lot. But I could not keep that happiness for a long time because of many reasons. Some reasons are mine and some are others. I felt that this is like a prison after some time. Still this was a great experience and I am going to end it. I am going to disrobe. Personally I don't think I am a monk now and have to end it "officially." I will tell you about my experiences and the things I've learned little by little.
