Life of Buddhist chalkidiki monks in Southeast Asia | hogy.sk
The Buddhist monks I encountered mainly in Burma, Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. From the beginning I drilled in my head, about how life might look like a monk, what is its place in society, who can become a monk, and the like. Unless you are interested in answers to these questions, read on.
Monks are quite ordinary men aged 6-70 years (there may be exceptions) who have decided to spend part of his life in a monastery. Sometimes chalkidiki led them to life events such as the death of a sibling, or parents ever decided to be monks in order to address long-term undisturbed meditation. Some monks are monks only for a few weeks, some early life. The company helps monks in different ways - give them food, they are often transferred directly, chalkidiki or give them financial and in-kind donations. In many monasteries also have a sort of temporary voluntary maids, washed them, and cook for free. Young monks attend school, which is usually right in the monastery. Teachers are older monks.
How does an average day a monk? Wakes up in the morning before sunrise (usually around 4 in the morning). Should he also did not want to wake up the rumble, which start doing other (personal experience). Subsequently, praying, some common, chalkidiki some privately. Directly in their homes have a statue of Buddha, whose worship. The following are routine activities, chalkidiki such as sweeping the area, reading books, or meditation, or plain killing time. Before 6 am to 2-10 membered group of monks removed to the city with food containers into which receive rice or bread from ordinary people. It is always associated with the theater. A man who has something to give them kneeling on the pavement. Monks to appear before him and everyone gets into his food container. Consequently, all the monks chant together a sort of prayer for the person concerned and go further. Such a walk usually receive only the younger monks. The older ones are mostly not dependent on requesting such a meal. Free food im worn next to the monastery various surrounding soup kitchens, businesses, and private individuals. Many monks are invited to lunch in the homes of local people. Such monk usually eats every day in the house of the same family.
All day monks lead peaceful, but quite ordinary life. They play cards, chess, computer games, have fun with their smartphones, walk around town, go to visit other monasteries, often to neighboring countries. Several times a day to devote individual meditation. UVI monk from Burma, with whom I spent 9 nights couchsurfer and almost every day the foreign visitors. The whole room is plastered with photos of their previous guests, there is also no longer mine. (I found out he was gay, and somehow I liked him, I had explained to him that I have a girlfriend chalkidiki and we can be more than friends.)
Money monks acquire example of the contributions that people throw in glass containers in front of a statue of Buddha in the monastery and pagodas are used mainly for reconstruction. Other monks receive money directly into the hands of people on the street, or some can earn as teachers. In Kastor have a hierarchy, where the top of the monks, who are "professionally" oldest. There is a sort of council of elders who decide on the finances. The monks live in celibacy (or at least should be), do not drink alcohol, but some smoke and many (Burmese) chewed betel. Clothing is usually monks across the country very similar chalkidiki color. In Thailand, Laos and Cambodia are brisk lighter orange in Brame is a dark orange to deep red.
While I was in the morning at the monastery wrote this article, an elderly woman came with food, a man with a gift of several insect nets and a young monk brought cake and cigarettes, which he donated to someone in front of the monastery. Well, I have once again served a great lunch. Always have, more than they are able to so much as eat and im glad to help. Sometimes in the monastery stop the beggars who are here feeding. Being a monk is to live at the expense of the company and some local because they do not like. But there is always a lot of believers who support them in every way. Indeed monks pray for all people. When someone comes to visit the monastery and the monks to worship chalkidiki before.
I must say that what I've seen so far is miles away from what I'd imagined after seeing chalkidiki the movie 7 years in Tibet. Two weeks just going to Tibet, so I wonder what it will be there.
