When there I met a young novice who was amazingly similar to me - 2nd generation Sri Lankan British, the same age as me and what's more born and brought up only 10minutes drive from where I was - and there he was just embarking on the monastic path As we spoke more he inevitably asked me whether I'd ever considered also becoming a monk, and my response was very clear: It...
