How to Train Oneself | The Life of NOVICE Monks

Published 2024-03-20
In this video, I wanted to introduce you to the novice monks at the Benjadhamm Meditation Center in Bangkok, Thailand. Since many of us are working on improving our own habits and mind, I think seeing how the novice monks train themselves can provide us with wisdom, motivation and inspiration for our own path. I hope you find this video helpful. Enjoy! #monks #buddhism #mentalhealth

    Thank you from Poland ❤I am asking everyone to send positive energy because we are facing war and everyone in my country is terrified.
  • @stevedoesnt
    This really got me. I don’t know why, but something about brought tears. This seems so far away from what I think my life could ever be, for multiple reasons. They’re having a human experience from childhood that I never knew could exist. Seemingly free of so much corruption.
  • @bobc4d
    how beautiful. I loved the deep concentration on the novices faces to ensure their robes were correct and how they helped each other.
  • @janetlee6083
    The smiles when the disciples show their empty trays to their teacher are so adorable!
  • @josephwong7103

  • @joannechua3639
    Such a joy watching these kids with such bright hearts and spirits 😊 Purify the surroundings to purify the mind, sounds really simple yet hard to do sometimes! Love the one kid that was figuring out how to sweep under the table with a long handle broom, cute!
  • @NehaBeauty
    This is so beautiful. Their calm discipline is so inspiring. I must admit, as a mother of a small child, I do worry about their bare feet, that they don't get hurt from any debris.

    Greetings from India. I am taking you as my master. Master I am 16 years old and I always get distracted as I am very curious to know many things like new technology, new jobs, and many things due to which I can't focus on one thing. Master, please light my path. Namo Buddhaya

    Thank you, your videos are always helpful and inspiring. I often share them with my family and we talk about them together. I started my journey two years ago (I'm 52) and now I'm working on impermanence and attachment. Greeting from Italy. Paolo.
