      Which class would Garnt be summoned as a monk?

      Seileach I would say a Caster whom noble phantasm would be giving the team more np, hp, and a shield. Or a Ruler and the noble phantasm would be the same but this one will give the team an invisible ability for 1 round

    He went from trying to find inner peace to buying body pillows, rambling over under-aged anime girls, and spending hundreds of dollars on png’s of Fate waifus. In a way, I guess that’s his own inner peace.

    I lived with two monks for a few months. Thanks to them I learned to control my mental issues without medication. It was an amazing experience. Aside from when I had to grade a half mile gravel path up a mountain with only a pickaxe, take, and shovel. Think it was their way of teaching the "before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood and carry water" thing to a stubborn white boy. Much love to them though. Venerable Pannavati, and Venerable Pannadipa. Two of the most amazing human beings I've had the honor of meeting.

This came from an old Buddhist tale where a naga wanted to become a monk, so it disguised itself as human and approached Buddha, but it got caught in the end. So now there's a ceremony for someone who wanted to become a monk become a 'naga monk' first, to honor the naga's determination.

    Thanks for sharing. I myself spent almost 2 years backpacking and hitchhiking across the continental US. I wasn't restricting myself to 1 meal a day or anything, but there were often several days in a row where I didn't eat. Shelter was a sleeping bag and whatever jacket I had to use as a pillow, with the occasional volunteering to clean or do labor at homeless shelters or strangers houses for food/lodging.
    It is a completely different experience from what you did, but I feel like the lack of distractions was in a way very similar. It's something I highly recommend. Not necessarily what I did, or what you did, but just actively seeking that empty mind state sometime, even if you have to do something extreme so you are *forced* to abandon the distractions if you don't feel like you have the willpower to walk away from them otherwise.

    I think what Garnt was trying to say at the last few seconds of the clip was this.
    "When you go and separate material things from your life, stop worrying about a job, friends, family, and really take a moment to sit and reflect on YOUR life. What YOU want to do. Nothing else and NO ONE else, it really opens up your eyes to how you can be stuck in certain cycles or patterns of behavior that can either make you feel sad, and how you can change it. And not in a way where you notice it. But where you recognize it, and face it head on, and conquer the issue."

    Man, was it crazy seeing these people live in houses that are basically the size of my bedroom, and made out of crappy planks nailed together with a sheet metal roof, and thats it. Yet so many of them were happier than the people I knew in the US.

      There are two things you can do. You can uninstall some of your stuff (but doing all at once will probably drain your motivation pretty quickly). You'd be surprised how much power convenience has over your will. You could also unfollow or unsubscribe from a bunch of people so you have less content at your convenience. The other thing I'd recommend is replacing the habits you don't want with different habits. So go play a game instead of watching TH-cam, for example.

It wasn't quite a good experience as a Nain for me. There were a lot of monks in that temple those were not deserve respect as a monk. Some secretly ate food at night, some were greedy in money, some were usually watching TV and play games and I had to be around them. It was not good experiences of used to be a monk or Nain. That why I kind of regret about it when I look back.
    But the view by the Pasuk River was really good. at least that is what I think it was a few good experiences from used to be a Nain at that temple in Ayuthaya.

    I had a somewhat similar experience but. Or with monks. I just decided for a 4 month period I’d only eat 1 meal a day from wherever I got one or was given one by family, I slept on a flat couch for 3 months, had one thin pillow and blanket, drank like 2 cups of coffee a day, just took classes at school and did so much art and talked with friends, thought to myself a lot, had a bit of quiet time, slept from 10:30 to 6:30 every night, wrote down stuff, got off social media for a while, quit playing video games for a while too, didn’t get online a whole lot unless I was listening to music and thinking to myself. I admit this was nothing like Garnt experienced but I do remember this point in my life a lot and how it helped me with losing weight, thinking to myself more and having my own thoughts about life and how I wanted to pursue it, more time to practice my technique in art, and it brought my mental health to a better place and even my acne went away. I was between 16 and 17 at the time but I do remember this experience well and it helped a lot. It was an experience I want to try again because it felt good and refreshing and made me appreciate the life I have.

    I always thought Garnt’s name was very unusual. But now that I know he’s Thai, I read his name in Thai accent, กานต์. It makes sense now.🤣

      ผมนึกว่าจะอ่านว่า ก๊าน 555 พอเป็นกานด์ฟังดูไทยเลย

      นึกว่าชื่อก๊านมาตลอดเหมือนกัน เปลี่ยนเป็นกานต์ชื่อไทยทันที

      How do you write his real name in Thai (Garnt Maneetapho)? Just curious.

      @@theobuniel9643 Judging from the English spelling, I think Garnt is spelled กานต์. I'm not sure about his last name though. Even if I hear it pronounced I still can't be sure. Many Thai lastname is hard to spell even to native speaker.

    as an Zen Buddhist i am glad to see Garnt clearly learned from his time as an monk.

    Garnt truly achieved enlightenment after monk training.
