#Thailand #Monkey #Animals
He came for the food but also paid his respects for the ceremony. Smart monkey.
😂😂😂
actually left once they started babbling
😢😅😅😅😅
Me at weddings
monkey see monkey do
That was a monk who achieved the highest form of enlightenment. He returned to Monke.
Lmao exactly
Deep perspective🤔 ...never looked at Monk/Monkey in that way. Great insight.🧐
From monke we emerged, to monke we must return.
*_Return to monke_*
😂 lol
That probably actually happened

Reject feline. Monke is eternal.
kkkkkkk
He didn’t want to be rude by just going over to the food so he figured he’d partake a little bit before heading over 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Their hand restin on the monk's knee like, 'I like yall energy. What we doin?'
😂❤
Yo then the monk offers him a glass of water xD lol
😂😂
😂😂😂
RXCKSTXR dis you?😁
As soon as the chants began the monkey was like, "and on that note, it's time to eat"
😂😂😂
The credits were for more concentration 🧘♂️😂

He meditates with the monks before eating.
I love how the monkey is casually leaning on the monks leg
"So where's the Action at around here bro?"
"Always being on the lookout for Action is making me hungry!" "You want anything from the snack bar bro?"
i see what you did there
You mean the monk’a KNEE 🥁😂... get it... monk’s knee-🐒.... ahh oh well 😂
@@pxxnxhI love dad jokes 😂 I laughed too hard at this 👏
No he is imtating the monk so that he can get free food. He probably thinks nobody will notice if he behaves like one of them.😂
That monkey got more social skills than most people
He politely sat there so he could get some food. That's just amazing.
Why shoo the cat tho 😢

That’s beautiful to see a monkey behave respectfully and graceful.
To think some people can’t act like that monkey at least 💀
Typical ws comment
You mean...humans? Oooh the actual monkey.
Haha it stole food. How is that respectful or graceful? Thai monks are just dirty it seems
Thats why i love buddha. His teachings make a human so peaceful that even animals feel safe around buddha disciples. Buddha greatest teaching is love
They shooed off the poor cat
@@El-Dorado930 So the monkey wouldn't become agitated.
@@Mare_Man So they agitated the poor cat instead

That monkey was like: "I heard that there was free food here. Where is it? I'll wait...Oh,there it is...I see it. I'm gonna help myself now. Keep the faith fellas!"
😂👍👍
Lmfaoooooo
😂😂😂
“Keep the faith fellas” is crazy 😂😂😂
If it gets you free food I don't blame the guy
He has more manners than most people. Said "hi" sat and listened . THEN went for the food. 😂

Hello Kathryn
How are you doing today?
I liked how he didn't rush to the food, calmly walked and waited.
It's mean : capacity of react to the surrounding environment, pay attention what's going on, later when is take care the atmosphere turn relaxed go ahead to the food! Is mean actions made it with a level of conscience, then it's a brain driven being! Not one animal! 😁
The most down to earth Monk-ey that ever lived
I like how u did that 🤣😅🤣

Best comment
you are so funny
I understood that reference
As a Thai I've never seen a wild monkey this chill around human.
The last two hungry years without tourists, the worst disaster monkeys have had in decades, has taught him humility.
it's the energy of that environment.. prob
@@crazyratlady3438Yeah, it’s the vibe of the temple, it makes the monkey feel relaxed.
This is how you can find who’s been distributing the free bananas and leftover rice.
My pet cat is been missing since the last 2 days. She is pregnant, I'm worried for her 😢
He’s a very calm, polite fellow 🤣
That's a chill monkey, everything he needs.
I agree and we need to send our gubberments leaders to chill with him.. before it's too late.
@@GoofBallGuru now that really would be owning nothing and being happy. Do you think they would be up for that?

He was definitely waiting for the food to be served, before giving up and just getting it on his own 😂

Lmao!

that is monkey mind
Unbothered on a cosmic level.
The guy swats away the cat like it’s a wild monkey and lets the wild monkey sit with him like it’s a cat.
In Asia its more common to have monkeys as pets rather than cats. Monkeys hv been domesticated but I don't agree with or like the treatment they gave to the cat. Upsetting
@@wheathusk2499 To this cat? I would've shooed it away, too, just to avoid any possibility of it upsetting the monkey. There was nothing mean about it, I thought, just safety.
@@pulykamelli wondered this too, and figured it was to avoid upsetting the monkey
@@pulykamellThe bed comment.
Its jst so they wont fight or have an argument. Animal after all.
Monkey: ooooh! This is fascinating! What did I just walk into?
I love how the monks all look so happy to have him there :) He knows he's loved and valued.
God took the forelock of this monkey to his sustenance, but they are ignorant of that
@@عبدالعزيزجزاع-ح8ق I hope I don't come off as too ignorant, but I don't really understand what that means. Can you explain it to me?
@@crimsonmuse4076 I think it's some weird Christian hating on Buddhism, or a bot judging by the username
@@m0nkeywrenchThat's pretty much exactly what he was doing. I really don't like the Christians that ignore the "Do not judge or you will be judged" bible verse. The ones that adhere to it are alright tho
@@svefnhnuturthorgeirsson Absolutely, I've always believed that the most performative religious people are often the most hypocritical & mean-spirited, in the same way that if you're a nice person you don't have to say you're a nice person.
He trusts them and they respect him as a fellow inhabitant .
Sho the cat away through as egyptian myself I felt disheartened
@@sakurakou2009 I know cats have a place in Egyptian history but I don't think he's pushing cat away as in, he doesn't like cats more in a, not now cat , later sort of way. The cat is their pet and these monks love all living things.
The monks don’t respect everyone. Take off your rose colored glasses. The monk flicked the cat out of the way. And, there is nothing wild about that monkey. He was obviously raised by them.
So the cat isn’t a fellow inhabitant?
He had to shoo the cat away because as tolerating as he is, the monkey would still tempt to pick a fight with cat. They’re like bitter enemy.
Source: I’m a Thai. Wherever there’s monkeys there’ll be no cats. They’re all dead 😢
He said I paid my respects now let’s eat. This is so amazing ❤😊
She is picking up on the frequency and vibration from the monks while meditating and I'm sure she's attracted to that and just the vibe in that room it's probably really relaxing and calming no doubt the monkey is picking up on that
The monkey choose one of the best place to be around humans. Smart monkey happy people and free food
Where do you go to join?
@@DayonBledsoe2000Any Buddhist monastery
Not too sure how happy they are. Didn't seem to happy about the kitty
My sentiments - exactly!

Хитрые люди
Look at him resting his little arm on the monk's knee. Precious 💕
I always thought Monks were supposed to be loving , kind and respectful of nature. That cat was just being curious. I bet they were afraid that monkey would show it's true colors around the cat!! I have seen Monks with the VO's and they should be ashamed because there behavior is not what is taught to them!!
Before he stood up, i thought the monks made pants for him.
Ikr? So human like. He obviously enjoys the atmosphere
@@nancygoodwin5795He was literally trying to get the cat away so the cat wouldn’t set the monkey off. That’s not showing they’re unkind. Please seek help you miserable creature you.
@@nancygoodwin5795 VO?
I love how calmly he eats. It shows he’s not in fear of human retaliation which means you you must treat them like other humans. Everyone gets to eat it’s amazing.

@@captabhimanyubhat forgive me. I have tried many times but to no avail. What is it exactly you’re trying to say?
@@21ld48He’s saying the monks aren’t part of an Abrahamic Cult like Islam or Christianity.
@@michaelr5606 ahh yes I see Thankyou! No they are more a philosophy rather than a religion from my understanding

Almost like an animal who sees food available to take…. Oh wait, that’s exactly what happened
Looks like he eats there often.
"The kitty can't be here? Then I won't be here"

Why did they shoe away the cat? How rude.
@@DancingDeity Probably for the cat's safety. We all know cats love provoking other animals, only this time the monkey might rip it apart if it does
No cats allowed
Because most cats won’t behave. They can’t stand or sit still for very long. There’re a lot of cats and dogs in monasteries in Thailand.
@@lclt55555 "We all know cats love provoking other animals," Further reading required on your part. Anthropomorphise much genius.
Someone asked a Zen Master, "How do you practice Zen?" The master said, "When you are hungry, eat; when you are tired, sleep."
this is the way
Yet hungry and sleepy is a trait of a suffering being.
They didn't let the cat drink

These generations’ parents need to learn such behavior too. As the old saying goes “Monkey see, monkey do.” If you’re kids are behaving horribly, look in the mirror.
Apart from the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere the monkey is enjoying, He eats with utmost dignity, taking one leaf and not running away with the whole bowl.
Good manner is a must! 😂🎉

not the cat though
He didn't even push the cat away, he barely grazed it with the tips of his fingers. I'd say that's pretty respectful and peaceful
I think it sensed free food, and knew to play the game.
The cat was probably an acomplice, but it got greedy and went right for the freebies.
He's like.....enough of this....where's the snacks! Lol
And he still meditated and calmed himself greater that 99.9% of the human population. Did I just find my guru??! 😊
