Tony Jaa became a monk

Yesterday, Friday May 28th, on a day called “Visakha Bucha Day”, the famous Thai action actor Tony Jaa became a monk. He often said that after he finished filming the Ong-Bak trilogy, he would take holy orders. For a Buddhist family, such a step is considered a great joy, since the son, by becoming a monk for a while, pays tribute to his parents and relatives.

The ordination ceremony was held at Wat Jaeng Sawang throughout the day, and the ordination itself took place at approximately 16:00.

The day before the ceremony (May 27), Tony Jaa had to prepare. His parents and relatives shaved his head and shaved off his eyebrows. He donned a white robe and took part in a ceremony called “Hae Nak” at his home in Surin. In this province, events are held with elephants.

Now he is a monk, and his usual names like Tony Jaa, Jaa Panom and Thatchakorn Yirum should be forgotten for a while. Now his name is “Phra Kitti Sophano”, which means “monk of excellent reputation”. But unofficially it can be called simply “Phra” or “Luang Phee”.

According to other sources, his new name is spelled “Kitiposano”, which means “refined/elegant celebrity”.

The news reported that the date of his release from the priesthood has not yet been determined. No one, not even his parents, should persuade him to quit monasticism, since this is considered a great sin. Everything depends entirely on himself.

His mother hopes that her 34-year-old son, after leaving the priesthood, will find himself a good woman, whom he will later marry.

    - No matter how hard you try, you are not ready yet.

    An example of “translation pearls” (dialogue between Tien and teacher Bua):

    - I don’t understand why...I will have so much time to...recover. I'm trying my best.

    - No matter how hard you try, you are not ready yet. You still have to prepare and prepare. There are...strange things happening around...and...you know, um...there is an DISBALANCE in our country. :) This will be your task. You will have to return everything to its place (during the last sentence, the upper part of the phrase was lit on the screen - They cause all living creatures to be stuck...).

    Agree. Complete nonsense. You can watch it just to laugh. We have to wait for the office. subtitles or DVD output.

    The voice acting almost always does not follow the text.

    Indeed, Tony Jaasaid that he did not want to stop his film activities, that is, he will still have films - this is on the one hand, and on the other, in my opinion, Ja did the right thing: you look and will increase the level of skill and his creative abilities, and I hope that after the end of the “term” he will finally stop wearing these stupid glamorous rings and pendants, because the last time he reminded me more of some pop boy... in short, it will be good for him, well done!

    He'll be back. But the question is: when? + time to shoot a new film (taking into account the fact that he will continue training in the monastery).

    There is interesting news on Twitch, only in English, where Todd puts forward a very interesting assumption - Jaa simply ran away from his responsibilities, as I understand it. And he shot OB3 carelessly and rewrote the script, in general he ruined everything.

    Do you remember Tony talked about his personal karma, that you have to “pay” for filming and popularity? Apparently, he decided to rethink his life by becoming a monk. He is looking for himself and his path, which is commendable, and in this regard I am happy for him.
    But in a general sense, this is, of course, a big disappointment for us and all his fans...
    Eh Tony...maybe you'll come back...

    Now, if he had made OB3 the best film about BI, then I still understand his departure, like he did everything that was possible - there was nothing more to shoot, but here it’s a completely different matter, and the film turned out like that. In general, tin((((((((
