"Helping others is my Religion" Now that's the best religion of all!
"My religion is compassion"
Tenzin Gyatso
14th Dalai Lama
Jay Jay, Helping others and luring them to his religion and telling others that only my god is real and following other religions is sin

@@Listopia10 Evangelism is a negative thing? He isn't going around and forcing people to become Catholic, right?
@@Listopia10 you're commenting about someone that was not in the video.
"Helping others is my religion"
Best words. WOW
Interesting videos. Years ago, there was a monk (Brother John, as I recall) in California that was a skilled mathematician specializing in algebraic number theory. He edited some mathematics journals, including the Fibonacci Quarterly and was very generous in sending out reprints of papers and answering mathematics questions. He was very encouraging to many mathematics graduate students, myself included.
!
The monksauce should be called “holy smokes“
Someone give this man a job
That is amazing
It will make you yell Jesus Christ! when it bites you

''A good monk is a good balance between prayer and work.'' Ora et Labora is the motto of the Benedictine order. I count it as one of my blessings to be educated in a Benedictine-run school.
Among other spiritually-healthful things, it fostered my love for music.
I've seen the Benedictine Monks and I am discerning them, or the Francisscans. Domine Iesu Christe, Filli Dei, Misere Mei, Peccatoris
I'd like to ask, why do you love music?
@@justmart4455 I was highly introverted as a child and music became a huge leeway of self-expression. The organ was my first instrument. All I could remember at that time was that I felt happy while hearing my big sister make music with it and I felt much happier when I finally began to make music with it. Music is like a balm to the mind, body, and spirit.
@@pipsasqeak820 I sincerely wish you the best in your vocation.
The kung fu nuns are incredible. Amazing. Mount Athos looks and sounds like paradise. Thanks for sharing
I would highly advise searching out a monastery and seeing if you can stay with them for a weekend or a retreat. Not enough people are aware you can do so and the experience is sacred and centuries-old
kung fu fighting nuns,,,,, that's the coolest shit I've heard all day
I am sure this video is going to inspire someone somewhere to take up monk life
I made my choice going to China to study Shaolin kung fu and buddhist ways a while ago - but this video just makes the excitement even greater. No matter what kind of monk you are, I love all of them.
This was one of my favorite videos in the world. It's so beautiful to me. Thank you for sharing.🤗
This channel gives me hope in this world
I didn't know that there are *MONKS* in America
(of course, the _smart_ ones know. They know EVERYthing - lol).
huh? is this a pun?
Monks are everywhere.
You’re kidding? lol
There was a monk monastery ( their house ) on my street basically my neighbor's they would have lots of family over and were really friendly i loved those guys me and my family moved but I'm sure they still are there
They also carried they grocery on sticks and were badass
The Third one is Legit 100%, Shi Yan Ming. 34th Generation Warrior Monk from Shaolin Temple. And please guys dont confuse lol, Shaolin Monk and Monk is a bit diffrent. Like he said their are 2type on their temple. Warrior or Prayer, but he choose both. if u choose only prayer, they will spend their lives like other monks you have always known to this day only do prayer and no martial arts
The contrast between Byzantine Orthodox Monks and Western Catholic Monks is very distinguishable here
Is that a good or bad thing?
@@HotEatTheFood no and yes
@@pipsasqeak820 For which religion?

Want to become a kung fun nun but then she said it isn’t for lazy people :)))
Honestly with the first one I had a mental image of a monk with a flame thrower
Natasel honestly that would go for the kung fu female monks if they had the weapons of the sisters of battle
Natasel I don’t see any leather
He should have said," Where is the holy water? "
5:06 preach sister preach
Do you ever look at a comment and think “I wish i thought of that”?
Everybody gangsta till they cut your hair off
Wow look at all that green green earth 🥰
even goku training with this warrior monk LOL
6:05 Subtitle mistake!!!
He said "I chose the worst way" and not "I choose the warrior's way"
I think it was a pronunciation mistake...right?
@@eugenef0zzy maybe, sometimes its hard to know what he is saying
"helping others is my religion" - this is feminism at its finest
0:48 Jesus is ripped
Not being disrespectful but carpenters who don't use electric tools usually are.
@@krdiaz8026 Plus they did not even have chainsaws to cut the tree to begin with.
...a balance between prayer and work...
As an atheist I will never look at them with the same type of respect as a theist would (like respect for choosing God/gods/spiritual life over family or a more regular lifestyle) but I respect their peacefull lifestyle :) ....or their badass lifestyle like the kung fu nuns xD
Shout out to the guy training with the goku shirt
I'm so glad they went to Mt. Athos to show my religion. The monks there wake up at 3 am and pray then work then pray and when they eat are not allowed to talk but listen to stories about the bible. It's very peaceful and I wish I could go but only men are allowed to be on the mountain.
I've seen one of these but I'm amazed by the rest.
Wow such a Culture Wonder Why
Listen, The monk is a spiritual seeker, ingredients luxurious to the things we eat are not religious
I'd only become a monk for the beer 🍺
Wow 😯!
Simple living with high thinking.
Everyone knows how the comment section is gonna go.
@Handsome Squidward Of course it is.
The kung fu nuns is fucking dope as fuck
All the monks are cute and wholesome and the nuns are kween
For all feminists out there, the nun in the second video is the true feminists, true equality and prove that women can be as strong as man, not complaining about society, BS toxic masculinity, and hating man, man and women need each other to survive, not against each other.
eva rochefort this is so true! Feminism isn’t about attacking man in general, its about spreading the word about women’s rights, safety etc.
@@koshiraru or at least, that is what feminism should be about
@@kaitlinr9735 the same things goes to the fat acceptance movement, it should be stop bullying people for their weights, not encouraging other to get obese and hating fit people and lying that morbidly obese is healthy, at this point, they are as stupied as the anti vaccine movement.
The nuns are not just nuns but feminist nuns.
Please don't eat me
owo this is awesome
I like this
I'm an Atheist and I don't like any religion except Buddhism cuz it's not a religion about god but about Humanity.
Yes, as a Buddhist. I can confirm this haha
💯✊🏾❤️🙏🏾
Is that aang?
Cool
Love from india
Nice
Do we pray together nun monk
Pee standing up
I wouldn't cut my hair no matter what 🥴
Your hair are just dead cells coming out of your dying body. One day you'll have to leave the body too. Getting attached to something so trivial is not a very smart thing.
@@akshatjoshi7989 I would rather keep my hair till I can't anymore mate.
@@Abass.03 Fair enough. Just hoping you don't go bald in your late twenties or early thirties, just like a lot of my friends.
@@akshatjoshi7989 yh me too 😂,I'm 16 atm I still have lot of time.
Where u at Rantoni
How bout a duel between Christian nun and Buddhist nun?
hi
🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬✊🏾💯🍵🌬🤙🏾👑
Meanwhile, Monks in Syria, Iraq and pakisthan are busy teaching how to fire an AK to his 8 year old subjects😄😄
Oh man, I've seen this one before. Couldn't get into it at all, even with Riley Reid in. It's about as off-putting as that weird stepsister stuff that's surprisingly prevalent these days
Noggin
Not first
Not second
Not thousandth

i thought monk is more politic less love and peace?
Brilliant video, then you had to bring feminism in! WE ARE ALL HUMANS!!!
A girl can do anything a man can do? Lol got sperms?
