Where Do Monks Sleep? | Life of a Monk

Welcome to the daily life of a monk. When men come to Thailand and ordain to become Buddhist monks, one of the biggest changes that he has to adjust to is where he sleeps. Leaving behind the comfortable life, he transitions to living the simple life. This can be reflected in the way he sleeps. Instead of sleeping on a comfortable bed, he must adapt himself to sleeping in a small brown tent. The monk gives up his possessions and just has his tent, 2 sets of robes, and a thin mat. This is the simple life of monkhood. And in the process of having less, he slowly begins to transform. While he has less materially, he gains more spiritually. In monkhood, we have a saying, we need to: talk less, eat less, sleep less, and meditate more. I hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for watching! #lifeofamonk #monks #buddhistmonks #minimalist

Simplicity is the real way of living life. One can live in any condition even in adverse & cope up with situations. Once a person get learned how to live alone ,he/she won't deal with people.. Being alone teach one to become incharge of one's thoughts, emotions & behaviour. Your energy gets preserved & utilised in right manner..When we remain silent, we realise that majority of energy is wasted on dealing with unnecessary stuffs. We relearn ourself being alone with self.

The Buddha established 4 types of lineages of his followers. 1. Bhikku ( male monks who have given up householders way of life ) 2. Bhikkuni ( female nuns who have given up householders life) They live in temples/ ashrams/ viharas/ monasteries/ forests, wear yellow robes, depend on the alms willingly given by householders for their sustanance. Main focus is to Learn and practice restraint in conduct of body and speech, meditate to cleanse the mind of defilements and experience clarity about nature and function of mind and body.. thereby realise deliverance from the cycle of repeated births. In return they support the spiritual wellbeing of lay followers ( householders). 3. Upasaka ( male , living in households) 4. Upasikas (female ,, ) They too have taken the refuge of the Buddha, His Teachings and His Disciples., Therfore learn and practice the same path., but obviously gets hindered due to family obligations which take up time. During Buddha s time there were thousands of lay followers who had reached the state of Sowan.. ( definite stream entry) In modern times there are so much resources available to learn the True Dhamma .. The Buddha taught so many alternate routes to the final goal... In His last Discourse, He said to use his Teachings ( Dhamma Vinaya) as the guidance. If "Buddhists " pay more heed to the Sacred Scriptures much more progress can be achieved as individuals and as a society

One day, I want to ordain. But sleeping in a tent on the ground is one of the most daunting parts for me. I actually used to really enjoy sleeping on the floor. During my early college years, I actually just slept on a blanket on the floor in my room instead of a mattress and I thoroughly enjoyed it. But then I started having back problems and learned that I have scoliosis which I now believe was caused by sleeping on the ground. Now I sleep on a mattress on the ground with a very neutral pillow to try to promote spinal alignment and support. I've also found that sleeping on my side contributes to the twisting of my spine. I don't see how I could sleep on the ground and without going onto my side in the fetal position which used to be the most comfortable position when I slept on the ground (but causes back problems). My scoliosis is slight but causes a lot of pain at night primarily and also pain throughout the day when it's bad. I'd like to know your thoughts on this. Are accommodations occasionally made for people in my position?

@nickkeomahavong01 4 жыл бұрын

My current sleeping situation is a very comfortable spring bed with a pillow and a bolster. I admit that when sleeping elsewhere is quite uncomfortable, but usually I manage to get used to it after 2nd or 3rd night. When I took a meditation retreat several years ago, there was no too much challenging situation because the hermitage I attended was equipped with a lot of good facilities. There are "kutis" for monks and dorm for lay people who wish to practice meditation. the food they provided was very good and nutritious. The monks (bhante) were also very friendly and full of merit.

@@nickkeomahavong01 It's in Kuching, Serawak, Malaysia. It's a Myanmar tradition hermitage and practice meditation under Pa Auk Sayadaw. Most of the bhikkhu there was ordinated by Pa Auk Sayadaw. It's called Tusita Hermitage. But recently the senior bhantes stay at their new hermitage located at Semenyih, Malaysia. It's called Dhamma Earth. If you interested, you can get information from it's FB page, instagram, and google map by searching on its name. If you want to go there for meditation or become a novice monk (samanera), you should apply via its website. Note: if you want to be ordinated as novice, you should apply as lay people meditator first, after you stay for several days, the senior bhante will evaluate whether you could be ordinated or not. So you cannot directly be a novice by the time you arrive there.

I live in a tent from years. For 5 years I was an ascet yogini buddist mahayana. In the last two years I had to stop but I keep to be a yogini buddist but I know that last year I made some bad karma with words because I contrast global dictatorship without violence. I did videos to explain. For me with a small matt because I have back problems your tents look very good! I am in Italy. We have to remember to don't be sadomasochist with others and with ourselfs. Sometimes we forget that to be cruel with our bodies is not buddist way. May all living beings obtain illumination. Your videos are very good. Thank you.

Ram, hi. When you want to use a comma, there is no space between the comma used and the word that immediately precedes it. Thanks.

Yes but many are happy too. Really, we all each have our individual preferences. We can't judge another's life and call it miserable. Yeah some are, some are not. I wish we vould all live in the situation of our choosing without judgement or having to pay a lot of money just to live. We could all just exchange trade and services rather than currency. Whether person wants to be an astronaut, to cleaner to a monk or nun of some kind, to have a family, or just a partner or to be single and each respect each other's choices. It'd be a nicer world. The problem isn't technology or relationships or lack thereof, it's our attitudes to each other and to the planet. We can have all this and respect each other, be kinder and better to the planet.

I'm actually not as rich as I used to be and I'm more happy 100 percent. Buddhism is a huge reason why.

I was the product of Khmer Rouge children. I slept on the pure earth with nothingness for many years. Yes, I would be able to sleep comfortably if I had what the Monks had. Now, I don't ask for much, just simple living would do. Thank you for sharing. It is the essence of Buddhism Practice, be happy and understand your own inter peace. I love that you shared this video for those who are curious....
