Phra Dhammaphatcharayanmuni
(Ajaan Jayasaro)
There was a man who decided to ordain. His mother was deeply upset about it. Because her child had gone all the way overseas To study medicine and become a doctor.
Putting his studies first all the time.
But before starting work, He decided to go forth as a monk. For just one phansa at the forest temple.
But after ordaining as a monk, He refused to disrobe.
His mother was deeply upset by this.
She thought that his future was so bright. But he chose to give everything up.
But I have a different opinion about this, I think his education has reached the ultimate goal. Because it taught him enough wisdom to ordain. And appreciate the higher value Of walking the supramundane Buddhist path.
