Yeah.
This will be my last hurrah.
I just want you to know out of respect.
Really?
I want you to know out of respect that I'm going to take my vows a couple years from now.
Why hadn't you taken it yet within seven years?
Oh, I tried.
So at the age of 21, I went to my teachers and I said, hey, I want to become a monk.
And they said?
And they said, being a monk is about giving up your life.
You have nothing worth giving up.
Not just be like, you're just running away.
You're running away.
You haven't achieved anything.
So first thing you should do is go back, get a doctoral degree.
Wow.
And then give it all up.
And then give it all.
Come back when you're 30.
So they let me come back and they're like, we'll continue teaching you and training you.
