Nah, it's more like we go to visit him. XD

ohhhhh i see....xD how does it work though? like does he permanently stay at the temple and he doesn't see his family unless they visit? and is it hard on your family knowing that he's not living with you? or has he always been a monk?

Do Buddhist monks go home where you're from? I know some folks become monks for a little while, but during that time, usually they just stay at the temple.

Becoming a monk means living like a monk, and from my understanding, living with family or making a family isn't part of it, since there's separation from oneself from the world.

My family and I don't really mind, since we're all adults anyways, aha.

actually i have no idea myself...xD;; soooooo, i can't really tell you pfft.

but i guess as long as your family is fine with it...c;

Oh. Um, what branch/form of Buddhism do you practice, then? Or is it more like, you're Buddhist because it's a family thing?

Aye. A large part of our family's Buddhist, and we've got a couple Christians. Each person's practice works for them. XD

Just finished my 2nd island trial on Ula'ula island. Ready for the Grand trial now then off to Poni island.

@luvloveless

Nice. I've never even finished my first trial yet. XD I kept getting distracted with hunting for Pokemon.

Mika; lol no idea, like i said before, i only follow along with my mom and she's not that devout, only to the point of going at least three times a year. so i have no idea what kind of 'branch' it would be...xP

Ooh, I see. Aha, well that's alright. Have you ever thought about taking up a religion personally though? Or is that not really your thing?

Ula'ula island trial cleared! Aether Paradise cleared! Off to Poni island now!

Oh, did tell you guys I found a shiny Mudbray? And then a couple of battles later I found a shiny Lilipup! I'm still in shock over it!
