Tiko's Ordination

This documents my former rooftop neighbour, and dear friend as he takes his steps from a layman into the fold of the sangha.

Excellent work with the video, was a pleasure to watch this.

Also, good choice of soundtrack (Bonobo, wasn't it?)

Metta

Hello JiMuKai,

It is indeed Bonobo, and thank you for your complimentary words on the video as well as the Metta you passed on to me.

I hope that you have a truly wonderful day... I already am.

Thank you,

Phil.

@jamesejudy3 Tiko is making merit by donating items that will benefit the monks in the temple he is about to be part of.

@jamesejudy3 Hi, at 16.00 he is still not a monk, he has to go through that part to be initiated. The bright orange robes generally identify the monks as urban monks, or city monks here in Thailand. The darker, golden coloured one denote forest monks. In some respects they are regarded more highly as, as far as I know, they are the only ones that have been recognised as Masters or 'Ajarns'. Thank you for watching and your interest. :O)

What's going on at 7:00 to 7:30? are they donating stuff?

also, during minute 16 there are robes of different colors, some bright orange, others more of a mustard. Is there a significance to the different shades?
