Don't be too quick to dismiss him as a godly, brainwashing ang-moh monk with unyielding ideals; Cos he's anything but that. *hecks*

Although he had been a monk for the past 33 yrs, he was formerly a scholar from Cambridge and had even been a teacher and a scientist. Impressive~

It was the first time I'm attending a buddhist talk and was lucky to be able to catch Ajahn Brahm's talk held on the Sunday before New Yr's Eve.

The monastry was packed-to-the-brim with buddhist worshippers who were very-much looking forward to listening to the "witty-yet-filled-with-words-of-wisdom" dialogues of Ajahn Brahm. I swear I saw a couple of aunties who were fervently scribbling down his words and hanging on to his every word with forlorn-spaced-out expressions. *hecks*
