E10 Lanka Nanda- Sri Lankan Monk

I technically didn't interview Lanka... but it kind of went that direction since I love to answer questions. While traveling Sri Lanka in a tuktuk, I stopped at a beautiful monastery outside of Ella. Lanka had joined several months earlier and spoke amazing English. He took it upon himself to share his knowledge of this branch of Buddhism with visitors to the temple. This is what he shared.

Update: I revisited the monastery in 2019 and, unfortunately, Lanka was no longer there.
