Buddhist Monks - Who Are They and What Do They Do?

Video Description

Buddhist monks are known to have a shroud of mystery around them. They are secluded, invisible, and hidden from most of the world. This short documentary was my attempt to give you a brief glimpse into the life of a monk and behind the scene of the monastery. The monk's life may not be understood by many so hopefully, this video will you an exclusive look into our world. It will answer questions as to why we do the things we do, what we ordain, and how to train ourselves. Speaking from first-hand experience, the monk training and monk's life is not easy, self-development is not easy and making a commitment to a disciplined practice is not easy. But with that said, each day we continue to make a choice to pursue this path. I hope you enjoy this video and please feel free to leave your thoughts below.
