Interesting blog. i wish those ink cartridges were available to me! I too get frustrated with the prices.

I found it interesting how much they do. they live there lives, develop innovative ideas for cheaper ink, and make doggie biscuits, that his right hand “man” gets to try out. doesnt seem complicated, and seems very relaxed and unstressful. i wish my life was that relaxed! but then again i could never live without a lot of things they dont have. and they seem so far from any city with civilization. not my style.

This is the perfect example of going out there and doing what you love to do. This man is adventurous, generous, and kind. I wish I could be like this many have multiple degrees in different areas that I really enjoy learning about, it’s an inspiration that there is someone like him out there. I am also extremely impressed with his persistence in finding a solution to his frustration. I really love this story!

I am really inspired by this man. He has done a wonderful job on showing that if you really believe in something and want to make a difference in the world it can be made possible. It also shows that if you find the right gaps in the market you can be very successful. I know I get very fustrated when pay these outragous prices for ink and I am very glad that someone is doing something to change this.

This is one amazing monk. He is so diversified and distinguished. I think it is a great business idea/plan that he and his fellow monks have come up with. It is a great way to give the people what they need in an easy manner. It is cool how he found something that everyone that has a printer hates hassling with and made his own business off of it.

I didn’t know what to think when I first saw the picture, and after reading the post that monk is definitely in a league of his own. Maybe someday I’ll remember to buy a cartridge for my printer, but that would mean I would have to buy paper too…

Personally, I find it very interesting that a man with such a diverse background, in which none of the fields pertain to ink cartridges, can become such a successful entrepreneur. He certianly exploited a gap in the marketplace. Good for him and his cause.

This is such a cool idea that a monk came up with. Its awesome to see someone helping people instead of doing it all for the money. It’s neat to see a business being run by the three rules that are nine hundred-years-old, the tradition of kindness, hospitality, and charity.

Sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction. A monk/pilot/astrophysicist who funds his abbey by selling printer ink?

What a great business model though: keep enough of the profits to be self-sufficient and give what’s left over to charity. These guys obviously aren’t in it for the big money; they’re seeking to improve the world using the revenue from their business. An inspiring story!
