On 30 Dec 2025, Ven. Ajahn Nyaniko recounts his personal evolution from a confused architecture student to the Abbot of Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery. He describes his early struggles with monastic commitment, noting how the initial excitement of practice eventually gave way to mental doubt and physical exhaustion. Through disciplined meditation and the guidance of esteemed teachers like Luang Por Liem, he learned to transform hardship and chronic pain into spiritual insights. Ven. Ajahn highlights how perseverance through difficult responsibilities can cultivate profound wisdom and compassion. Ultimately, he encourages practitioners to use mindfulness to navigate the inherent impermanence of both worldly success and physical suffering.
