Sam, it’d be great if you could touch on your decade abroad in your twenties. Could you summarize your experience in greater detail and offer general advice (or admonishment) for someone considering a similar path? Below are some more additional targeted questions around that:

I heard in a Waking Up conversation that you “showed up” to a temple (where there was a Westerner smoking a cigarette or something) How did you eventually settle into a group to travel and meditate with? How did you settle into a specific tradition?

How did you navigate the more ritualistic, less-scientific components (I.e. prayers, samsara, etc.) of Buddhism while remaining committed to the path?
