I am a simple Buddhist monk - no more, no less.

I'm a Buddhist.

I grew up in a mostly Buddhist environment.

When asked if I consider myself Buddhist, the answer is, Not really. But it's more my religion than any other because I was brought up with it in an intellectual and spiritual environment. I don't practice or preach it, however.

Unfortunately, however, I have too many desires to make a good Buddhist.

I'm just the worst little Buddhist in town.

I turned into a monk when my mother went to learn Buddhism in Burma. While she learnt at the monastery, I used to roam around with a begging bowl and ask for food.

Buddha, much like everyone else has good and bad days.
