I agree with you. This is the positive side of the net. Before I had to rely on channel 2 or PBS for ocasional information like this. Thanks to GoPros, internet and a very small world now. It’s easier to see how other people live. Watching this was a humbling experience for me. As I look around my house at all the useless stuff we have surrounding us. The happiness is inside of us. It ain’t the clutter. Or packing out 24hours with as much stimulation as possible.

When you realise the world has no more surprises, you lose interest in it, there's nothing to go back to, that's when your mind turns inwards and start soul searching, or the non existence of soul. And monk hood become deeply conducive to such a journey, some realise this young, others in their middle or old age, and some of us never. The later is too caught up in this life ......looking for pleasures in the five senses, yet never finding it.

What i liked about this monk was that he was very humanlike. He had a comforting presence. I have seen similar monk daily life videos are they're almost robotic, very perfect in everything they do - the straightest posture, few facial expressions etc. This monk crouched when writing, folded a blanket with his chin, and let out a sign, all very human characteristics. It was refreshing to see, so thank you.

I suppose people could say it is lonely, however loneliness is a state of mind where you can be surrounded by people but feel lonely as you do not have anyone you feel connected to. These monks may be alone much of the time but they know there are others like them and see them from time to time which gives them a sense of community and belonging; how many of us can say that.

You could get a pixie cut (It's a commitment, but I'm really happy with mine!). Or not. It's not about the hair, just about you contemplating how it makes you feel and what it's bringing up. (Also, I think if you were surrounded by other people who did it, it would be so much easier to do it)

Wonderful video. As a Buddhist practitioner, I find this video refreshing, knowing that many other people also meditate and live a peaceful life. I meditate using Metta (loving-kindness or any other similar translation) to meditate to bring inner peace while sharing it with others. I also meditate with a focus on Compassion, the desire for well-being for those who are suffering; I meditate with uplifting/sympathetic joy, rejoicing with others for their accomplishments in life, and also with equanimity and balance in one's mind and actions. Meditating in this way has helped me immensely. I live life more peacefully. Homage to the Buddha.

Very peaceful and calming video, I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for sharing with us this enlightening lifestyle rich with nature. 🙏🏼

Sathu, being a monk is very peaceful at times. i had been a monk twice in my life; sometimes i still miss the days where i don't really need to think much about stuff that happened around my experience as an ordinary man. Being a monk is truly letting go and one may find true happiness that they always seek.

I hiked the Appalachian Trail a number of years ago, and I miss some of the aspects of that. I wonder if being a monk (or being at a retreat) would have some similar qualities.

That was absolutely beautiful!, I can't believe this doesn't have millions of views. Also, I love the fact that there are no words spoken or explanations, you just show us :)

there doesnt have to be words. when i was about ten i used to enjoy the feeling of hot shower and close my eyes in the locker room of indoor swimpool. there was 6 showers in one stall. one day i was alone with eyes closed enjoying my usual stand up meditation (at time i did not know what med was :p) an asian man took the shower in front of me, no words put one arm across waste- the other upwards across torso and closed his eyes, we were two meditating (1)

I have ordained a Monk for 9 days about 3 years ago, I wish it lasted much longer but unfortunately 9 days is the only time I had. The temple I was at wasn't very strict but I had my own opinion of what Monk should be, No mobile phone, no TV, no computer, no money, never ask any relative or friends to visit me because I want complete peace, no entertainment books to read accept chanting books that I needed to learn but I hardly did as I also believe that's not the true purpose of being a Monk. We woke up around 4:30 am and start doing arms round at 5:00 am. There's no telling how my feet were killing after nearly 2 hours of walking bare feet on sharp rocks. We didn't put all the food in one bowl as Monk should but some did and I tried it once. After morning meal all the Monk gather in the temple where we spend about 1-hour chanting and meditating together. I can't believe how peaceful it was despite how many times you have to fight the legs cramp. Than each Monk return to their tiny sleeping quarters/dwelling to clean exactly how this Monk did in the video. Sweeping leaves were actually my favorite as it is a form of meditation. Monks only do one arms around per day which is in the morning but comes midday all the Monk gather in the gathering hall where villagers come and offer foods to Monk. The food wasn't actually for the Monk as their first intended but Thai people believe Monk acts like a middle man who can chant and deliver them to their loved ones that past away and Monk consume the physical foods after the chanting. After lunch, Monk supposes to meditate alone in any form they prefer, mine was walking into the forest and just sit there meditating under a tree until 5:00pm the Monks gather in the temple to perform secondary group chanting along with the nuns sometime villagers would join us. For 9 days was the most peaceful time of my entire life of 30 years.

Nick Keomahavong There’s was one spooky believes in the Monk community. You see, villagers often involves the Monk in almost every ritual they believes in, especially funeral. I was told new ordained Monk first public chanting probably be at a funeral and couple of days later it was. The funeral always take place at the temple and it was after 9, I had to walk alone in the dark to get to funeral monument and there I was, sitting at the end of a roll closes to the coffin. A woman die from a car accidents.

I had never heard this before: "Rest in a Sea of Merit". I tried this last night and struggled with a situation I could clearly experience my attachment to and wanted to 'solve'. It was difficult, I would come back to actions of merit, and then back to the struggle, and yet I was also glad to have this clarity. I will do it again tonight. I sense this is very important and I'm grateful to have heard Ven. Nick share this. Found these videos by accident! Thank you.

Hi Nick, I appreciate the disciplined routine. It helps me remember to stick to my roots as living in a westernized community becomes chaotic. Keep up with the great content. Also, with all due respect he is the cutest young monk I have ever seen 😮🍊 Best, Dani

I really admire how he is living the best days of his life in the most possible way. Mental calmness is not an easy thing to achieve

This makes me strive to be more mindful...i think being an American my life is so polar opposite of this! But I’m trying to practice more minimalism and self awareness! Awesome video!

Beautiful! Even those of us who belong to the Mahayana branch of the tradition live in a similar fashion with only some minor variations due to where we are living. This shows how practice and daily living become an integrated whole both on and off the cushion. Bravo! Thank you so much for posting this! Many people here in the U.S. don’t know this and often ask me what life is like for a Buddhist monk. It is hard for them to conceive of this much less realize that it is possible to live this way.
