11th European Ordination Program participant

My name is Enevald. I come from Norway and I am 60 years old. Before coming here I was a lay person. The monastic life in Belgium, the chanting, and the meditation have helped me calm down and become happier.

I used to carry a lot of anger. The teachings and the daily life as a monk have helped me become a better person and more peaceful every day. I especially enjoy the chanting and meditation here in Belgium, they continue to go better and better every day. The alms round is also something I truly appreciate. We receive respect from the lay people, and we return that respect through the blessing.
