    Lol I've stayed in a lot of monasteries and it cracks me up when people say "I'm sick of people I want to live in a monastery!", You mean you're sick of people so you want to live in close quarters with strangers day in day out whom you have nothing in common with?

  • @MonkeyStealsPeach
    @MonkeyStealsPeach 4 роки тому +42

    Great suggestions! A lot of people don’t realize the warrior monk/full monk difference, and that the fully ordained monks stay well clear of the crowds of tourists. As you say, this is their way of life, not something for the casual visitor to join in just for the novelty. If people want a Buddhist experience, there are meditation and sutra recital programs at other sacred Buddhist sites like Wutai Shan or Emei Shan, where for a donation you can spend a few days living in the temple as a lay disciple.

    This is an absolute valuable and highly informative video.
    This is a potent wake up call for me and I am extremely grateful for it.
    I am ashamed and embarrassed of myself however. Turns out, I wanted the movie script version of being with the Temple simply because I never asked questions. I never made an effort to learn.
    I must be honest. I think I am one of the people you mentioned. I pictured peace, harmony, and beautiful martial arts.
    I am so sorry for my ignorance.
    While I still desire peace and calm, I now know my place without a doubt. My place is not with those men. What I have yet to learn probably wouldn't qualify me to deliver goods, much less get to know any of the good people there.
    Wishing the good people everywhere the best in life. And may you have good fortune in return for posting this video.

Its a real shame Wangzhigou has been torn down now, but needless to say, I had a great time at Shaolin.

I know that is not allowed and its bad-eyed by all of them, but you can come down to compromises with them. You already experienced that from the inside, you know what you can do and what you cant. But it would be an amazing documentation about the life in the temple, routines and a lot of stuff people are really intrested in! I assure you you'd get millions of views.

    I think what Ranton was getting at is that, no one is really going to be holding your hand at the Shaolin Temple, or at least, they really don’t want to. It’s really more so about being independent and taking it upon yourself to improve and learn. Your peers and teachers aren’t going to come to you and hand everything to you; every lesson, technique, etc. Of course they WILL be there to help and teach you, but it’s not going to be so easy and straight forward. Or, it MAY be so straightforward that you don’t even know and realize it. At least, that’s what I’m interpreting from this video.

    Meditation is focusing on inner thoughts by yourself and improving on your method of thought or just removing yourself from toxic thoughts. It's not about finding a state of mind at all. It's about finding a way to ignore external stimuli.
    Their methods help.
