Bangkok Podcast 53: Robin Moore

In our continuing Buddhist series, we sit down with Robin Moore,
who spent over a decade as a monk in both the UK and Thailand,
but eventually left the monkhood and rejoined lay-life. He tells
us about his interesting journey, from being drawn to Buddhism as
a teenager, to going on alms rounds in the UK (and trying to make
it not look like begging), to why his mother cried when he joined
the monkhood - and cried again when he left.


We also cover the difficulties in fitting back in to a life that
is generally at odds with a monastic one - everything from dating
to driving a car to playing sports. Robin gives us a personal and
fascinating look into his life pre-, during, and post-monkhood.
