No Need to Add Suffering to What Already Exists | Ajahn Kongrit

Ajahn Kongrit shares his reflections on the early days of Abhayagiri and his struggles as a young monk to acclimate to the climate and food in the US. He reflects on the tendency to idealize conditions and create a mental impression of what we need to practice as a monk.
This Dhamma talk was offered as a part of the reception hall inauguration weekend at Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery on June 30, 2018.
