hunting methods cast a dark cloud over their reputation. Thus, San Htoo couldn’t attend his
school and spending his time by helping the parents. His mother, grappling with the weight
of grief after his father met his own demise in a twist of fate, made the heartfelt decision to
entrust him to the sanctuary of the monastery, where the profound teachings of Dhamma

and guided by a profound connection to Dhamma, the young monk made the joyful
decision to commit his life to the monastery, he embraced his new identity, becoming Shin
Sanda—a testament to the transformative power of faith and the resilience of the human
spirit
