🥒ABOUT BEFRS:
Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but currently call Vietnam home. I’ve been living in Asia for 10 years and started making food and travel videos to document my experiences. I travel to different parts of the world, hunting down and documenting the most unique food each country has to offer.
If you see any factual food errors in my videos, please feel free to politely let me know in the comments. I'm a huge fan of trying different, interesting foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly, MY point of view. It is not meant to offend any person or culture.

Take care and stay safe Sonny 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Your food trip is always epic 🙌💙
Nice vid keep up the good work 👍 💪👌
This is not a food review channel. This is a cultural documentary that makes me appreciate our planet and I will support this channel till I'm an old man.
Uh, no
@@Dad-lu1oi Seems like you missed his point entirely. It's a compliment. There's a huge difference between how sonny approaches cultures and random foodies blogging through the lense of a peanut gallery.
@@squidikka nope
Dad yes you’re just dumb asf🤩
hi dad
Now this is someone who deserves the money CZcams gives.
True. 💯👍
Actually Google is the one who pays the channels.. CZcams just gives them their platform.
Love your show😘
@@katrinav.7011 true goggle almost own everything
the monks or the food reviewer
I really like this guy, the way he quickly adapts and adjusts his mind to accommodate different cultures. Then tasting all kinds of food makes me want to be like him
Culture vulture.
I really agree with u. He is so local and ready without no fear to learn anything new from any human being around the planet. I am from Uganda, East Africa.
The unfortunate thing is that a liberal watching this video would straight up scream and have a temper tantrum shouting “cultural appropriation”
You spoke to the point. namo Buddhaya.
8:48 The little kid folding hands and bowing before the monks melted my heart. Such respect cannot be seen in many parts of the world. Bless him!
that part made me tear up a little!!! you will not find that in america
that gesture is taught ever since we were born.We do it to the elders,monks and people we respect.
@@skullrevenant9573 yes
Cartman from South Park 😂
Respect fr wht? Irrelevant.. only humanity +religion basis
I love how this is not just a food review show, he visits people and respects and practices their cultures
Yes wearing an army camouflage jacket.
Ofcause if you visit a country you have to respect the people, the culture if not why go to the country...
Of course he will do everything for money.
He should respect his viewers and stop with the clikbait, fraudulent titles.
Kenji Wright the dude just became a monk come on....
Gosh. I am a Myanmar citizen myself. But I ve never seen such a detailed documentary about our monks daily lifestyle and RESPECT for your dedication to this!!!
James Collon I’m myanmar as well
Look after the muslims in your country please
Sweety 7866 what’s up with them?
@@phooyone829 the rohingya muslims .are there any left
Sweety 7866 i dont know
I feel so blessed being a buddhist! May Buddha’s great teachings guide us through our journey 🧡🧡🧡
As a muslim i learned alot from buddhism, like discipline, open mindedness and the way to not judge anyone. There's something to learn from every culture and religion. One thing alot of people forget
Seeing all these mothers giving food to the monks... That made me understand the tradition, and I started bawling my eyes out. It's truly such a beautiful thing
Hes SO respectful to every culture. Really appreciate him! Great channel.
Except for European hahaha :D :D :D
Definitely very culture conscious
Hi
Not like Mr.Paul
Bitxhh please are u stupid to not watch the vietnamese one when he visited china town
This man needs his own show on Netflix - honestly so much respect for a man who respects EVERYONE! Beautiful soul - BIG FAN ❤️
Super deserves that
netflix doesnt deserve him
CZcams has widership ..not everyone effort Netflix
NO that will wreck this
He wears a bandana 🤢
In the 1970s I lived for months as a guest in a Bangkok Buddhist monastery. We ate vegetarian food and meditated. It was serene and wonderful. I have respect for these good men.
I don't know why Buddhism really attract me a lot...The speech of Mahamati Buddha is full of peace..thank you sir for presenting a view of Buddhist monks... thank you... stay in peace 🙏
This is more than a food review show. This is deep. This is culture. This is a documentary. This is understanding. Better than mainstream media shows.
I say the same thing. You learn so much when you watch his videos.
I use to say how he deserves his own TV show but thinking about it I rather for him just to stick with youtube because we all know how these networks wanna change so much about a person.
You learn..I rem the monks in Laos every morning walk past our hotel ..I understand why they came everyday now.
The is why sonny is unique among other vlog food reviews and im his follower for the last 2 years
Idk why but this made me shed a tear, like it’s beautiful that he respects their culture and doesn’t try to avoid doing certain things
that man has an indestructible stomach, he eats whatever he's given despite poor hygiene in most cases
Damn 😆 i just posted this
my country suck rn
Me too they were so gentle
@@alejandropower its pepto bismal. Also what you’re saying about the unhygienic things is rude. I can gaurnetee the restaurants in the usa are worse than the street food he eats. We would just grab the salad with our hands at the red lobster i worked at hardly anyone washed their hands and people would actually get upset at you for it cause you were waisting time. This has been pretty consistent in any food place I worked.
This is the best documentary I have seen in my life … you showed us lot more about monks, food , discipline, balance, enjoyment and totally how to live our life Happiley with Discipline… thank you for your hard work🙏
I spent 6 weeks in Myanmar in 2018. Traveled all over the country installing seismic stations. Usually at monasteries. It was an incredible cultural experience and I really loved the food there.
That sounds interesting, installing seismic stations. Thank you for your service, it’s not easy travelling across Myanmar, I hope you enjoyed your time in Myanmar!
The show is getting a lot of depth... I love how Sonny blends into every culture without any hesitation... And it seems he puts a lot of effort to do so...
Couldn't agree more!!
100 per You are right chand. He blends with everyone without hesitation.. he involves himself in all culture
Well done Sunny!!
Subhasis Chand money talks !
I know I wish to have the opportunities he does
He legit shaved this whole head give this man some respect yall
I just appreciate Sonny being so passionate and dedicated in everything he do. Not just sharing some delicious food and interesting dish but to get to know and embrace different cultures and share it to the world. I watched this today 😊
It is truly a blessing being part of a buddist monk culture. To absorb its spirituality & appreciate their teachings on your journey. Just awesome.
I love how he respects every religion ❤️
worships only of Allah...

@@fitness_indonesia Thank you!! I'm a hafu who split time between the States and Japan, but there are so many extremist Christians in the US. I'm agnostic, but I think just let everyone worship how they want to instead of forcing religion on people.

This is why he is different from other food reviewers coz he dissolved himself to the culture where he had been to and never judge them :)
Well said sandip Poudel ..
He does judge them though. When he says he looks ridiculous and is wearing the same thing as them. By saying this he's also saying that he thinks they look ridiculous
Kalinna Vyacheslavovna How does him saying that imply he is saying that of them? He said HE felt ridiculous. Not THEY look. Nice job assuming, love that humans always have the find the worst in things.
@@raulcalma-deal8792 Not sure where my comment went but @ 9:54 he clearly says he LOOKS ridiculous. Stop being a cringy snowflake
Kalinna Vyacheslavovna Stop being a dumb ass who assumes. How does his dislike for his look reflect the same dislike towards the monk? I’m sorry I understand you may be a half wit, he clearly didn’t say anything about how they looked. It was how He looked, like” you clearly said”. Straight up dumbass
That first beer after Monkhood must have been incredible! 🤣
Sonny’s show is not only about food review…it’s also people review … Reading people is 100 times better than reading a book… thanks for taking us to places and helping us to know the people
This man needs to be in Netflix!
Like to agree
No cuz then we’d have to pay for it
huggleskuishy ohh ya dont have netflix?
Heck he needs to be in Disney plus
@@clementine7825 I have Netflix. But I don't pay for youtube. and if I ever cant pay for Netflix for some reason, I'll always have shows like BEFRS for free on youtube
Nope leave the netflix for the crazy nuts. Let them have it with their propagandas. Dont want them to ruin sonny!!
I don’t know why I cried when I saw people give food to the monks...it’s a simple act, and everyone is struggling but it’s still so beautiful to see
*Edit: hey everyone, I’m just spreading love...and kindness, let’s stop with this debacle.

It's a tradition in Myanmar: )
Not just Myanmar but Thailand also.
@@charlescunningham5275 yes
I have somewhat chased this situation where you can immerse yourself completely into another culture almost inside and out. I appreciate your honest attempt to integrate into an very faithful tradition and went so far as to adopt the humble monk trappings (even if temporarily). I hope you continue to explore and give a small window into these cultures. I would love to tag along with your adventures and hope you never stop exploring the world for those of us who can't do this all the time.
The feeling and emotions I felt watching this is undescribable.
This is absolutely beautiful.
I just love how you immerse yourself in other cultures with no judgements
Because he is. No idea what is aim his life

Good Pixel what the fuck are you talking about
@@quinnxx369 some might say its almost incomprehensible. Lmao

I hope that all of the haters realise his respect for each and every culture.For example, him willingly shaving his head for and respecting the monks.I want to thank this channel as a whole as it has taught many things and made me laugh quite a lot. Thank you 😊
Yup, But... He doesn't have much hair to worry about 🤔
Big up wholesome moment
@Jason Ripley Did you not watch the video? He did it to become apart of the monks to understand their culture better.
As long as he doesnt worship the buddha statue
He has haters?
Give this man Sonny a crown already 🥺💯. Thanks for your awesome contents and how respectful you are of other people's culture ❣️
As a Burmese, I can tell lots of this guy's videos about Myanmar bring out absolute authenticity of the place. Thank you for great videos and the way you make everything looks and sounds funnier. You are so so amazing.
i almost cried when sonny said they dont care even if he look ridiculous, they just give what little they have

This truly is the exploration of the world and the cultures. Sonny will be the one who will have no regrets when he dies. Huge respect!
Thank you for taking me on a vacation this week, literally. I've been to the US, Vietnam, and so many places more. You provide on of the most interesting food-content I've seen so far, informative, entertaining, and most importantly mouth-wateringly delicious (most of the time)... Thank you. Keep on doing what you do!
Hello everyone!
I am a Cambodian monk. Welcome all of you to Angkor Wat of Cambodia. Thank you, good luck!
Hello i m from Romania, Eastern Europe , i ve seen and read so many things about ankor watt , it s one of the biggest temples in the world , beautiful big temple , wish one day I ll be there ❤️❤️❤️
Hey people say ankor wat is Tamil temple is it true?
I have to been to Angkor wat, it’s got nothing to do with Buddhism anyway. Worth another visit for sure.
Thank you, we would LOVE to visit one day.💙
Do monks eat non-vegetarian food ?
I grown up in vietnam and still remember to this day that these monks fed me food on my way home from school passed through those temples. The monks do not see rich or poor, or ranks in society but only caring. I was 5 or 6 yrs old at the time.
I saw those helpless people gathering at the temple everytime they in need of food or shelter. Without any explanation, to this day, these monks taught me the best lessons. Care for the elders, the young, and the neglected people from society.
Im glad my ancestors passed down the most valuable lessons of life time.
"Nam mo a di da phat. "
Thanks for your opinion brother....I want to tell in here is that it is not the temple,we call that “monastery"..I think you might see the news of Myanmar on internet....still some of the monks and monastery even try their best to feed the starving people,homeless guys and orphans...
And Im learning from you. PEACE
Well… u could have learnt these things from women (mothers) in general
Only difference is that they have no social status compared to any men but everyone thinks it is their duty to take care of whole families - which they mostly do even today everywhere.
Monks, popes, religious whoevers are funded by communities and respected for doing….WHAT exactly?!:)
I dont think its a great achievement to give the community back a little at least and help the poor - sometimes. They help everyone from the resources other people donated to them afterall…
Mothers, sisters, who silently take care of kids and the elderly and cook all the time are never thanked and never praised for these. Instead they are considered to be slaves to these duties.
Nice world
Not to mention the fact that the first brothels where captive women were forced to work as prostitutes had been established by priests (or monks) … After a group of people won in a battle for land they took their women and the priests sold their bodies to get even more wealth for themselves. In the name of …god. But more in the name of their own welfare. I think all the privileged religious elite want to become “chosen” cos they know they will be respected by everyone and people will think they know everything. Would be wise to think about it a little.
And about the fact why religion and kings were ruling hand in hand always..
Teaching a little kid to bow in front of strangely dressed guys I dont think is awesome though looks cute.
People keep strange traditions because they fear the religious dogmas and usually dont question anything which does not have any sense.
Respect should not mean respect hierarchy and dont ask any questions but not to hurt the other being. Unfortunately for many people it is still not obvious and they hurt and look down or fear another person by respecting the dogma they been trained to keep above all.
@MS E I don't think you know exactly what you're talking about! For 1 they do their work for Buddha not God as you say, this is one of the oldest religions next to Hinduism! Most cultures have done something (in the past) that a lot of people don't approve of, but these are some of the most humble people in the world and a little respect is deserved, before you trash ones opinions you should look in the mirror and see your own mistakes before you're quick to judge! You should post your own statement instead of jumping into one's humble chat with nonsense and negative thoughts..🍻 🙏
@@mse5739 I’ve notice you’re not very fond of Sonny and his content, yet you have commented on most of his videos. These comments all have a common factor and it’s you trying to make yourself look smarter than you actually are. In my words you’re a social justice warrior. If you don’t like what he says or does then stop watching Sonny. If you have so much free time to write seven page essays in his comment section, why don’t you go become a lawyer and put your time where it’s needed. Better than that, why not go there and try to fix it yourself. Let me enjoy the amazing food, culture induced learning experience, and maybe a few fond memories that monks create. Not everyone wants to hear how unhappy you are with the world.
As a person from Burma I am delighted to have someone talk about my country, it is very rare to see this ❤️
Your not ridiculous as a monk. I'm buddhist from sri lanka you did a really great job...💙
I never seen a food review channel review their food with their culture or region.
No food reviewer is as this guy.
No one means no one🔥♥️
His accent,the way to adapt every culture and respect won my heart.
Best ever Food review channel.
hands down
Truly the best 💯
Lol good now he's your god
Gullo
He’s as passionate and open minded as Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern
Knowing the situation in Myanmar now, I am literally in tears watching this… watching these poor people sharing what they have…. Myanmar I am praying for you ❤️
This comment means a lot to us. Thank you so much for being with us.
Thank you so much my friend😭😭🙏🙏👍👍
@Tricey Trice Ok I will explain you my friend. Since Min Aung Hlaing the leader of bad military occupied Myanmar. Because they want to cont as they wish. Before that we have election day and there are alot of parties like "NLD (Aung San Suu Kyi the daughter of General Aung San), PPP (Thet Thet Kaing), USDP (General Min Aung Hlaing (Bad guy), etc... But later after election NLD have the most voted in Myanmar so NLD won. But USDP got mad so they cheat and took over the people's freedom to their hand and control as they wish. And then General Min Aung Hlaing command his army to arrest Aung San Suu Kyi, President, and NLD's descible. And until now they increase more punishment to Aung San SUU Kyi😭. So the people of NLD started to protest when they started to know that their leader (Mother Suu) was arrested and other people. So many people die because Min Aung Hlaing command his army to fire the people. They shoot people with gun, rushing to people with truck and hit them, sexual against, buried alive people but most of people didn't know that, and more. So terrorist army from each different kind of people in Myanmar like Kachin (KIA), Rakine (AA), Karen (KNU), and PDF is international army that make a larger group and collect more people who want to fight for their next generation's freedom not for themself by giving their life to save Myanmar from bad Military because UN is pretending to help Myanmar.😭😭 Until now KNU, KIA, AA, and PDF are fighting. They don't have enough equipment like gun, food, weapons, and supplies. Think it about for example they just fight what ever they have weapon that is only about like toy VS bad military with good supplies fighting but PDF, KNU, KIA, and AA win. Alot of army from bad military dies so Min Aung Hlaing command their army to fight with air missile. Is that even fair? Noo too much unfair because they have no time to run because the aircraft is so fast. They just notice the aircraft when the aircraft approach them so no time to run or hide. Still then they have to live in the forest wich there is alot of insects like mosquitoes, too much cool and have no blanket or coat to warm up themselves 😭😭. They are also people and we are also people they have feeling and we have feeling too my friend. Also you have felling isn't? Also some pure kids dies from bad military, which doesn't concern with bad military. But now it is time to revenge for them who's soul are not willing yet.😭😭 By the way please pray for Myanmar even though you can't effort them. Praying for Myanmar is only requested for you my friend. May God bless you and Myanmar in Jesus name. AMEN🙏
Thank you!
@Tricey Trice Aung san su Kyi tried to steal the votes of election and failed, thats all
I've been binge watching your videos. I absolutely love how you make sure the culture is so well represented. This episode is my favorite so far, but they are a really awesome.
My granny lived in Myanmar when it was Burma and fled when the Japanese invaded. She’s from Rangoon (her stories were amazing) would love to go when things are safer and hope everyone over there is safe
After he saved his head. He looks like a Hitman on a mission to reveal the secret of the food.
Or to assassinate the head monk. In fact, that would be an awesome hitman level...
he has cancer

@@Mark-yb1sp *MAY ALLAH GUIDE ALL WHO ARE SEEKERS OF THE TRUTH*
"He is Allah besides Whom there is no God, the Knower of the unseen and the seen. He is the Beneficent, the Merciful. He is Allah besides Whom there is no God, the King, the Holy, the Author of peace, the Granter of security, Guardian over all, the Mighty, the Supreme, the Possessor of greatness. Glory be to Allah from that which they set up (as false gods) ! He is Allah, the Creator, the Maker,[5] the Fashioner: His are the most beautiful names. Whatever is in the heavens and the earth declares His glory; and He is the Mighty, the Wise” Quran 59:22-24.
Say (O Muhammad), "I am no more than a human like you, and it has been inspired to me that your god is but One God. So whoever longs to meet his Lord shall do good deeds and never associate anyone in the worship of his Lord." Quran18:110
O you messenger, deliver what is brought down to you from your Lord. If you do not, then you have not delivered His message. Quran 5:67
We have sent you (O Messenger) with the truth as a bearer of news and a warner. Quran 2:119
"He has ordained for you the same religion (Islam) which He enjoined on Noah, and that which We have revealed to you, and which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses and Jesus: namely that you should remain steadfast in religion and be not divided therein.” [Quran 42:13]
After the corruption of the older Scriptures, the Quran came with a twofold purpose -- to confirm the true and original message of Islam, and to stand as a witness to it, by confirming the truth and rejecting the falsehood, which over time came into the older Scriptures. Muslims are required to believe in the revealed Scriptures and to make no distinction between any of them, or the Messengers who brought them, may Allah exalt their mention, because they all come from the One True God.
The Quran says (what means): "Say (O Muhammad to the Jews and Christians): 'We believe in Allah and that which has been sent to us and that which has been sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and to Al-Asbat, (the offspring of the twelve sons of Jacob) and that which has been given to Moses and Jesus, and that which has been given to the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we have submitted (in Islam).” [Quran 2:136]
Say, "O people, the truth has come to you from your Lord. Whoever is guided is guided for himself and whoever goes astray does so to his own detriment. I am not a trustee over you."Quran 10:108
If they turn away, your sole mission is the delivery (of the message). God is Seer of the people. Quran 3:20
Say, 'It is the truth from your Lord', then whoever wills shall believe and whoever wills shall disbelieve. Quran18:29
“And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed, all of them together. So, will you (O Muhammad) then compel mankind, until they become believers?” Quran 10:99
“And the duty of the Messenger is only to convey (the Message) plainly.” Quran 29:18
"This Book (The Quran) there is no doubt in it, is a guide to those who keep their duty, who believe in the Unseen and keep up prayer and spend (charitably) out of what We have given them, and who believe in that which has been revealed to thee (O Muhammad) and that which was revealed before thee, and of the Hereafter they are sure” Quran 2:2-4.
"Blessed is God Who sent down theFurqan (the Quran) upon His servant that he may be a warner to all the nations” (25:1)
“Say : O mankind, surely I (Muhammad)the Messenger of God to you all” Quran7:158
Say (O Muhammad), "What thing is the greatest testimony?" Say, "God is Witness between me and you that this Quran has been revealed to me to warn you with it and whomever it reaches. Do you bear witness that there are other gods besides God?" Say, "I do not bear witness". Say, "He is but One God and I am innocent of the shirk which you commit. 6:19
“There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the Right Path has become distinct from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves in taghoot (false gods) and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break.” Quran 2:256
Verily, proofs have come to you from your Lord, so whosoever sees, will do so for (the good of) his ownself, and whosoever blinds himself, will do so to his own harm, and I (Muhammad) am not a watcher over you.”Quran 6:104
“Whosoever does righteous good deeds, it is for (the benefit of) his ownself; and whosoever does evil, it is against his ownself. And your Lord is not at all unjust to (His) slaves.” Quran 41:46
Verily, this (Verses of the Quran) is an admonition, so whosoever wills, let him take a Path to his Lord (Allah).” Quran76:29
"This day have I (God) perfected for you your religion and completed My favour to you and chosen for you Islam as a religion” Quran 5:3.
They want to extinguish God's [guiding] light with their utterances: but God will not allow [this to pass], for He has willed to spread His light in all its fullness, however hateful this may be to all who deny the truth. Quran 9:32
Shall I seek other than God as a law maker, when He has revealed to you the Book fully detailed? 6:114 The word of your Lord is complete, in truth and justice. 6:115

Back in the early '90s I'd read that Tyson chicken in the US, which discarded all chicken butts which Americans won't eat by sending them to the Philippines where they became an instant delicacy and was consumed in such high volumes that specific health problems in the Philippine people.
Omg i didn’t expect u actually try to experience their life, wow.
As a buddhist, im amazed.
Is Connie a buddhist, too?
Hi shitty glasses, I'm Buddhist too.
@@nightcorecatus8347 LEVI ACKERMAN IS a BUDDHIST?
As a Buddhist,, I am also amazed...✌
@@nightcorecatus8347 oh hi shortieee
Sonny, you don't look ridiculous. You look awesome. It's so cool you can share this with us. Thank you.
The moment you shave your head being a monk, even for a short period, means you pay gratitude towards your parents and teachers at least in a spiritual way.
I meant if your parents were Buddhists, they would highly appreciate that gesture.
And then you wonder why teachers too. It's because we consider teachers as our second parents. You spend half of your childhood life with them, they teach you life skills which you can make use later on in life, they love you and infusing all their knowledge inside you...it's practically not different from parents.

The level of commitment Sunny has! From being afraid of losing his hair to going full blown monk. I commend you .
haha i bet he can do samba just to eat food
His level of commitment was half a day. Yeah, so committed....
@@donnataylor8297 most people would decline. It may have been for only half a day, but it's half a day more than most.
Yeah commitment, then proceeds to explain that he could not last his entire life shunning temptation while drinking a liberal glass of beer.
Good on you Sonny for continuing to broaden your horizons and doing it with dignity and respect.
I can't describe how happy I am that this is a thing. I'm crying while writing this and maybe just maybe I can start something similar in my town
I felt like crying watching the people give foods to the monks and the humble life the monks have. Left over foods are not wasted. Buddha bless their good heart.
“You learn a lot about someone when you share meal together”-Anthony Bourdain RIP.
Sonny and we are both trying to do the same. Show some love and positivity.
Bites 2 Bytes I knew exactly who you was referring to as soon as I read the first 2 words 😔😢 we will never have another Anthony Bourdain.
I'm wishing that in this modern days, once its time for meal, lunch, and dinner, put away smartphones, anything that can divert attention because its time to share meal with someone that you love especially dinner which all family members gathers at night after work and share what they feel on the whole day...
Such a great human being. He was a diamond of our generation. You have good videos.

Can we just talk about how he has 1 ad in a 15 min + vid take all CZcams’s money plz
No Fr, meanwhile there’s 2 min videos with 10 ads, like, did we come for this 10 min ads? 🤨
He doesn't control them CZcams do that
@Zahnayah Bivings It depends on the length of your video. Usually 10-20minute video have around 2-3 ads. Under 10minutes video its one ads. CZcams only let you control on where to put the ads at (Some youtuber usually put their ads in the beginning of the video and etc..) .
Bro ure profile pic is popular....or I know in every video I see

"This is the way" to stop racism! Through immersion in and respect for food, culture, clothing and music (where applicable). I appreciated this episode and Sonny's respect for the monks. Cheers!
Cheers i'd drink to that bro
You stop racism by making kids grow up around all races. I grew up in the most crazy melting pot and got to immerse myself in 4 of the world religions trough my childhood. My first homie from school was a mixed black/white kid. My class in school included kids with down syndrome. I got to meet every phenotype of human and it taught me everyone is an individual.
For real though. Myanmar government literally orchestrated the genocide of a million Rohingyas... and the monks supported it🤷♂️
Sadly "cancel culture " will cry cultural appropriation
@@trapperofthecentury5438 Truth. The white people who went to my school as minorities are the ones who are the most understanding of different cultures I've ever seen. We had polynesian festivals, dragon dances, black history month performances, mariachi dances, you name it. It was only after going to college at UCSD that I understood that my experience was unique.
So glad you are in charge of your own production. This show is so well done, and so much better than it would be if you were handcuffed by a tv network!
In some ways, Buddhist monks are different across the world. Generally, monk cannot choose their food, they eat whatever is given/served when they go out taking alms. In most places where there's no shortage of food, temple kitchen do not serve meat to monks and for monks who hv been Vegetarian for many yrs, they'll be reluctant to eat meat (will not touch it). Yes, I've seen younger monks who are with their phones, modern cameras, etc (smoking in this case) but they shd be aware that these are attachments and affect their journey purifying the mind. This explains why monks on high Himalaya or Tibet mountains can meditate at higher level (also forest monks) vs monks in the city. My view ..the less attachment you have, the easier the focus is
What I love about Sonny, and what sets him apart from the other food reviewers that I watch on CZcams, is his humility. He always has a self-effacing humor about him. He never takes himself too seriously. As this video also goes to show he is willing to go to any lengths to truly immerse himself in the culture that he is exploring, even if it means trying something that appears off putting, or attempting something that affects his vanity. He is truly a connoisseur of not just food, but of culture. We could all learn something from him.
Not just the food but to their spiritual practices, their acts of kindness and gratitude contributes to their longevity
A lot of humans lost their senses on the way of her stupid Life today. We are not more humans, we are a sick generation in this world.
@This is Patrick watch out bro, hopelly you didn't get attack
@@fitness_indonesia ur comment are just a further proof on the "kindness" of Buddha
Buddisn is very nice religion but these monks are everything but kind. Or are you forgeting the genocide they are doing over Rohingya people? Myanmar budisths dont really follow budistic principles. fk em
@@anelibrahimovic7787 they don't represent the religion
Sonny is super likable I wish more people were like this
The first 2/3 of the video was really inspirational and very well done!!!! The last third was also GREAT and true to form.
I am VERY IMPRESSED!

His hairline is clearly receding. This probably isn't his first time shaving his head.
He don't want little hair getting in his way of this experience. Good deal.
If I was asked to shave my head I would *stutter*
i aprreciate that u did respect all kind of culture and religion.
actually i love the way ,u believe in real humanities.
As a hindu i love buddhist. They are so chill ❤
The part when those old ladies were waiting for the monks to give them food… it had me choked up.
How pure, how peaceful, wow.

It trickled me so much with joy at seeing the villagers cheerfully giving from their hearts that my eyes couldn't hold back the tears. Warms my heart to see everyone working together with love and faith to make their village work
annie morse i truly agree!
So true
Agree
The joy you felt and the tears you shed reveal the beauty of your heart... not the physical heart but the Self which is the real spiritual heart !
From punk to munk
All respects for you brother. Keep up the great work. I stay hungry because of you. (Its a good thing)
To travel is to live! Food is love! You make amazing and interesting videos. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Since Anthony Bourdain's passing I didn't think someone else could fill his role.... but then I watched Sonny's shows and it filled my foody heart again.
And without having to hear a single bad word or curse words and Sonny's body language and the way he speaks shows that he is truly genuine and not pretending for the show.
I have visited Myanmar couple of times, Yongong and Mandalay are the places where I stayed. People are very simple humble and nice. Lots of love.🙏🙏🙏
Same in Thailand. So much better people than in western society. Western society creates wicked people.
@@trapperofthecentury5438 it sad but yeah
My heart feels more close to my country when I see your videos,thank you so much 😊
Honest and devoted people living in this world are monks .... 💕
After my grandmother died, I studied Buddhism for three years and became a vegetarian at the ripe old age of 21. Being half Chinese I suppose this wasn't such an odd thing to do.
I was harboring a lot of pain because some very unpleasant truths came out after grandma's death. My peers were of no help to me because their mindset was on getting married, partying and college. So I had to figure out my own grief on my terms, something that in retrospect felt ahead of its time before the massive push towards mental health and self care. It was a silent and passive way of going my own way.
I learned to cook vegetarian meals and wholeheartedly embraced the experience, even though I was diagnosed with medical conditions during this time and felt that my lifespan would be short. Consequently, I gained a lot of weight even though my diet was very healthy. Oh the irony... Rather than berate myself for now being chubby, I decided to roll with it, and make peace with my new body. I told myself that as long as I am eating right and maintaining some physical activity, there was not much I could do.
My significant other at the time strongly disapproved of these changes, resorted to verbal and psychological abuse, and demanded that I lose weight even though he gained weight eating junk food himself. Well, I ignored him and his hypocrisy. Our relationship eventually ended, even though by then, I was in shape again.
Buddhism taught me to immerse myself into life, while maintaining certain calm distance, even when I've been at the point of dying or almost killed. It also taught me greater focus for what lied ahead. I learned to lose the fear of losing my material possessions if I didn't behave. There's a lot of emotional blackmail that gets tied to money that enslaves people and makes them bitter and resentful. In the process I lost a lot materially, but gained wisdom, peace and health 🕊️✌️. That's not to say that I don't get angry or hurt. I'm still human after all.
I had kept these nuggets to myself for some years, and it feels good to finally release it. Maybe my experiences may help others who may be struggling with something, especially after the pandemic. There's always peace within no matter what anyone says. And you are stronger than you think. You just have to test yourself to the furthest limits that you can stand. Just pretend that you are a rubber band that is unbreakable and unshakable. There's wisdom and peace in maintaining quietness and stillness.
I'm not a nun, but this is what I learned during those three years. 💜💚💜💚
Thank you. I liked the " emotional blackmail" part. What did you do to lose the fear of losing material possessions
@@deela262 Well, I put my trust in the universe that all would be well in the end. I believe in God, but don't like to go there because it's not up to me to preach my faith to others. People see your actions and how you live your life, whether they approve of it or not. Also, I learned to economize my resources so that I could be more free financially. Doing so involved a certain measure of austerity and minimalism. It's not for everyone. Most people indulge in their material wants and desires. The only thing that makes them restrain themselves is adverse actions that are out of their hands.
Embracing this way of life did not relieve me from being cast out until I got myself together again. But Buddhist teachings gave me a solid foundation to base my new presets upon. You have to embrace the pain and suffering in order to find beauty and freedom later 💜💙 .
That's your story to write ✍️ and share with others.
I like all you said, thanks for the wisdom. God bless your heart q
Thanks for sharing 💛💚
Wish if i could ever meet you.....
Not gonna lie, Sonny looks pretty badass bald and in a monk's robe.
Matt Betzen I can imagine him getting a arrow tattoo on his head and becoming a air bender
i dont know if that badass. but if i dont know him, i probably though he know kung fu and with that big build, as asian i would be turn into meat paste messing with him lmao
He reminded me of a grown up ang from avatar the last airbender
He also look like Engineer in Prometheus
Such a respectful and sincere presentation. Fantastic work team. Loved this! ❤
Finally my country's culture gets mentioned in a popular youtuber's video 🇲🇲
Always love Myanmar, thinking of visiting there and explore, love their Buddhist culture . Hope their situation came back to normal. Love from neighbour Manipur
Myanmar Buddhists also worship our Hindu gods like Brahma and Vishnu and also gandharvas
@@peace719 I'm sorry but you got the wrong information..!! Buddhisum is Born from India itself.. While People get tortured and manipulate from Bharmhins in buddha's time Buddha left that all things Away and Gives us a true meaning of our Living..! Where bramha Vishnu not even exist those are only Myths..! If you dig the ground of india you'll found alot of caves and Statues of Buddha but My dear friend you'll not gonna found Bramha vishnu and mahesh Because those are only books written by Bramhins to manipulate People and Give there name as a "Hindu"...although i don't know who are you But my friend Bramhins never called themselves as a Hindu if you are Bramhin then Please check your Kundli then you'll find out that you are not Hindu but Bramhin..!!
