A Novice Monk

A Monk.
I was once a novice monk at the Kek Lok Si temple in Penang in 1982. It was for a duration of two weeks. Then I was involved in the Kelantan Buddhist Association and when a friend suggested the idea of being a novice monk to me, I took it up. During the two weeks I observed the eight precepts and lost a lot of weight. It was quite tough, the waking up early in the morning part but it was a wonderful experience.
