You’re invited to follow the inspiring real-life journey of the 12 novice monks in \u201cTrue Little Monk Year 11\u201d Project – a unique spiritual experience filled with heart, charm, and determination. Throughout their ordination period, these young novices will explore and embody the true meaning of gratitude, or \u201cKatanyu\u201d, toward their benefactors – those who have done good for them without expecting anything in return. This includes not only their parents, but also teachers, friends, society, the environment, the nation, religion, and the King – each of whom plays a vital role in their lives. Honoring this gratitude with action is what Buddhism calls \u201cKatanyu-katavedi\u201d. Their ordination provides a rare chance to learn through lived experience self-discipline, reflection, and perseverance as a tribute to the Buddha. The program includes intensive spiritual activities like forest meditation walks, overnight stays in nature, and merit-making practices at Wat Tham Trirat to commemorate Vesak Day. Every week, the novices will also take turns giving short Dharma talks on the theme \u201cGratitude and Virtue\u201d, sharing what they\u2019ve learned from this spiritual journey. This year\u2019s curriculum, designed by Phra Brahmapundit, is enriched with practical teachings and engaging activities that make the Dharma both profound and enjoyable throughout the one-month program.<\/p>\n
