His childhood went by the Gold Coast. What’s more, he had taken surfing lessons ever since his young teens, and he would always end up spending most of his time on the beach.
How Did Christos Become a Monk?
Christos was somewhat of a troubled teenager himself, so he had questions about life ever since his teenage years. Questions like, “What else could one do with this human life? What is our true purpose and potential?” were always in his mind.
So, he began frantically looking in his hometown for answers, and in his expedition, he found a psychologist who used to teach meditation and directed her to start learning Qi Gong from someone much more experienced.
Being fed up, wanting to know more, he traveled around and lived like an ordained Buddhist monk. Christos used to practice Tibetan Buddhism with an old monk and used to live with him.
