NIRAN: I...happy...and...not happy.
ME: What do you mean?

An Ajaan at My Temple
by Raga Mala » Sun Nov 01, 2009 8:27 pm
Ajaan Niran, a monk at my temple, is preparing to leave and return to Thailand in a few days. His English is very poor. A conversation I had with him:
ME: Ajaan, are you happy to be going back to Thailand?
NIRAN: I...happy...and...not happy.
ME: What do you mean?
NIRAN: I happy and not happy, because...I...like...everywhere.
ME: Ajaan, are you happy to be going back to Thailand?
NIRAN: I...happy...and...not happy.
ME: What do you mean?
NIRAN: I happy and not happy, because...I...like...everywhere.
