I'm learning Italian because I'll move to a Buddhist monastery in Puglia within a year. My motivation to learn Thai, Sinhala and Tamil is to connect further to Buddhist countries in the Theravada (Forest) Tradition. I want to be able to listen and understand Dhamma talks in those languages as well as to connect to locals and learn and understand their culture. And I hope that it may be given that I can renounce as a fully ordained Bhikkhuni one day, either in Sri Lanka or Thailand. May you be filled with loving-kindness. May you be happy. May you be well. May you be peaceful and at ease.
