American Theravada monk who lived in Kauai (on Hawaii) for 18 months survived on alms doing metta door to door

 It takes some serious courage and conviction for Theravadin monks to subsist on alms in very rural non Buddhist countries strictly following vinaya rules for alms round (no money, etc.) . I would think most who attempt this would end up starving to death or very malnutritioned.


Here's one very inspiring story, and I really like how he practices doing brahma vihara door to door.
