Some Filipinos are wondering if it is feasible to bring the Theravadin practice over here...would you have an idea if it would be possible to find monks who can at least speak English and are willing to help build a Sangha here in our country? That in the absence of Filipinos who want to become monks...monstertruckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09926422814123168475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-83360511221244416832013-06-20T13:27:21.887-07:002013-06-20T13:27:21.887-07:00An Invitation.
