Giving Up Billions and Lead a Life of Monkhood

[Seiryu]

Don't know if this has been posted before but I found this talk very lovely, from the Theravada Buddhist tradition.

Definitely inspiring. If someone who has so much wealth and status willing to give up everything, what am I holding onto when really I have nothing.

Gassho, thank you for sharing.

I totally agree with you and I've been thinking the same thing more and more the older I get.

I find it a wonderful story.

Has he says what he plans to do with the billions that he will someday inherit? I would be curious as to whether he has some plans for the money.
