After Aang was told he was the Avatar, Pasang, Tashi, and Gyatso discussed Aang's well-being, as it had come to Pasang's attention that Gyatso was attempting to preserve some of Aang's childhood by allowing him to play games as opposed to focusing on training. Even though Monk Pasang was sympathetic of Gyatso and Aang, acknowledging that the guardian was only trying to do what was best for the boy, he made the decision to send the Avatar away to the Eastern Air Temple to complete his airbending training, concluding that they needed to do what was best for the world.
Pasang was a wise and patient man who was very aware of Aang's role as the Avatar and was willing to sacrifice Aang's childhood for the sake of the world's balance. He was more sympathetic than the other monks, and therefore was well-respected as a decision maker.[2]
