Thanks, filmed on phone and action camera so low budget and gritty

Ajarn Chah would take all the food and stir it together into a big mush so that all monks would eat the same food and not choose. My Abbott in the UK says you can't say aroy as all food should be for the purpose of feeding the body to make it healthy for the study and promotion of the Dhamma rather than satisfying the senses.

Additionally, Monks cannot specify what they want to eat or ask for certain dishes. In my experience every monastery has slightly different rules about food. Thanks for watching 🙏 SATU!

Interesting insight there into Thai food culture. Question about monks driving a car though. It's against the Vinaya right, so how do they justify it? Also is it normal for monks to lock their kutis there? 🙏

@DagwoodsThailand

4 ай бұрын

Excellent question! In our area that includes many monasteries monks can drive if inline with temple duties such as alms, taking the vehicle in for repairs and visiting other monasteries. Still, monks should only drive if there is no other choice. I was a Sang Gali (Monk assistant) for 3 days and did all the driving during that time. It is customary to keep our Guthi (sleeping quarters) locked.

@@DagwoodsThailand ok thanks for the info..it's a tricky one when circumstances pressure monastics into adapting the Vinaya hey? Also just wondering for you personally how much recording and editing the videos impacts your peace of mind and Dhamma practice? Do you find it at all distracting?

@DagwoodsThailand

Interesting and valid questions. Editing is not allowed at our monastery but filming and picture taking are acceptable. Prior to arrival I wasn't sure I'd be allowed to video but received permission. Did filming distract from the experience? In the short term I'd say maybe a bit but in the long term I'll always be reminded of my time as a monk, causing me to be more likely to carry with me what I learned.

@@ady38I don’t think it’s ‘tricky’, nor is there any ‘pressure’. Remember, Buddhism is the so-called middle way. But the 'problem' is that if one is coming from the Judeo-Christian tradition (not you per se), there is the tendency to filter Buddhism through the absolutist Mosaic Thou-Shalt mind set (or the contemporary populist version called woke-ism). E.g., a lot of Buddhist monastics eat meat, but the western Buddhist world was in uproar when the Dalai Lama announced that he’d started eating meat for health reasons. It’s hard to shake millennia of cultural conditioning.

@@DizzyCsango I was trying to be subtle in my response. The Dhamma vinaya is 100% clear on what is and isn't allowed. There are 227 rules which monks are to follow diligently. The suttas talk about a monk preferring to die than break the Vinaya. The circumstances I was referring to are those of the culture within the specific monastery. It has nothing to do with how other traditions might interpret what's going on in this instance. It's a blatant breach of the Vinaya, and bit by bit can only serve to loosen adherence to other rules, as well as reducing the faith of the lay supporters... Eating meat isn't prohibited for monks, killing or having animals killed expressly for you is so vegetarianism is an individual choice for monastics.

I’m curious Dag why are you putting medicine on your feet? It’s danger walking barefoot or it’s about something else?

Daily Bin Tabat (receiving alms) in the village requires us to walk house to house barefoot over rugged streets strewn with broken glass, dog feces and other things that in the jungle can cause infection if you get open sores, which I had on top and bottom of my feet.

Yes, Monks may drive to support the temple. If there is a "Sang Gali" or Monk Assistant available then the monk need not drive.
