Okasa Bhante,

Why does he likes to know? For what purpose? And what exactly?

I got to know what I liked - for many purposes - and exactly what I needed.

Vandami.

When wanderer gus can make good discerned and to the point questions, than short and simple answer may follow, but if he does not really know what he likes to know and not of what purpose it's raised, then what ever answer can be only astray as his questions.

To start to help to bring it to a point:

Why does he likes to know? For what purpose? And what exactly?

Okasa Bhante,

I read  the given links as much as possible.
*  I got headache after fast-reading long threads.

Since it is not suitable to say something like "all the best", I would quote some passages from late venerable theros.

The Saṅgha is in decline, so one has to make the effort oneself. As long as one is making the effort, paṭisota (against the stream), one is doing the proper thing as a member of the Saṅgha. Even if the whole Saṅgha is corrupt, one knows at least one person is making the effort.

There is no other special advice to be given
for abandoning this mass of suffering
which does not leave this samsaric existence,
than to be as heedful in doing skilful deeds
as one whose head is on fire,
is in trying to put out that fire.


Vandami.

In short:

Refuge taken(/asked gone to) under the Sublime Tripple Gems.
Tradition: Dhamma-Vinaya of the Buddha
Teacher: the Sublime Buddha
Lifestyle: Pabbajita, Brahmacariya, Dhutanga (12), currently settled a little at a given, suitable place.

Personal history: that's a never ending story if trying and difficult to express so that it is not wrong taken => a beginning can not be found. Some different approaches, and parts can be found here:

Okasa vandami bhante,

I will be very much grateful if you could give some information about your tradition, teacher and lifestyle.
And if you don't think a burden , then about your personal history as well.

Vandami bhante.
