Roong's Buddhism 101



Lesson 1: "Life is not nearly as complicated as you are making it"...
The other day, Roong and I were driving into Soi Sip Song to get lunch. As we drove, I noticed a Monk walking down the side of the road, a very common sight here. As I watched him, he gracefully avoided a small puddle in his path as he was walking. Seeing this, prompted me to ask Roong, if she thought it had rained in Soi Sip Song recently. Without looking up, or missing a beat she replied, "I don't know, was the monk wet?"
