Ep 72: Buddhist Monk with The Duty to Kill ft Venerable Drachom
What happens when a former Special Forces operative turns his attention from confronting external threats to confronting the hardest enemy of all—the mind?
In this episode, Ven Drachom reflects on his experience in Singapore’s Special Forces, the meaning of responsibility, and his journey into Buddhist practice. He shares why the happiness we chase externally is temporary, how self-cherishing creates suffering, and why the ultimate goal isn't simply to feel peaceful—but to develop clarity so we can do more for others.
