Living A Simple Life | Original Buddhist Documentary

- With so much chaos in the world, is it possible to have peace?
According to Buddhist monks, the answer is yes. This video documents a day in the life of a Theravada Buddhist monk in Thailand. It follows him as he goes on alms round through the local village, doing his chores, practice mindfulness and meditation, and so much more.
My intention for this video is to give you a small glimpse into our world and hopefully it inspires you to diligently train your mind and build your habits. For world peace to be achieved, it must first start with inner peace. Developing inner peace takes effort, time, patience, and endurance, but it's a journey worth going on. I hope you enjoy!

What are your thoughts? Is peace possible during turbulent times?
Absolutely! We need to focus on our own lives, within our own small world. Taking the huge burden of the world is too much for any human. There has always been war, unrest, corruption etc but it's magnified because of social media and the media. Turn it off. It's ok to be happy and strive for peace within your own life and surroundings. You aren't build for, and don't need to know every single thing going on 24/7. Just my opinion but it works for me. 😊
The inside look at a monk's life is something I have always wanted to see. Thank you for sharing, Nick.
@@quorrakai Beautifully stated. Thank you :)
@@TheGreatMrKid Awww that's great my friend. I'm glad we can provide a small glimpse :)
@@juststop022 Oh I love it!
A young man asked the Buddha I want happiness how can I achieve this and Buddha replied take out I for that is ego and take out want for that is desire and all that you have left is happiness
Thank you for sharing! Such deep wisdom.
Thanks for your meaningful comment. 🙏🙏🙏
I want happiness.
I is ego
Want is desire.
Brilliant.
Sounds nice but doesn't make any sense
@guitarvorous I want happiness. If you take away the words 'I' and 'want', then you are left with happiness. In other words, ego and desire get in the way of happiness. Stop being selfish and stop being greedy, then you will be happy.
It's so peaceful knowing that the simple things in life are free.
sadhu sadhu.🙂🙂🙂
I agree to the fullest!
Sometimes you have to get angry and that's tough.
but they literally have to get their food by ''begging'' that's fucked up.
It's not free in some ways. The people work for the food, drink,etc. I think mindfulness of the present moment is probably free. Everything costs something I think. Peace.
No hustle and bustle. No commerce. No violence. Inner peace, solitude and quiet. This is a life of luxury... minus the cozy bed.
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much 🙂🙂🙂and definitely no cozy bed. haha
@@NickKeomahavongOfficialwill you be able to answer a question?
I wish life in society was as simple as being a monk.
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much Michael 🙂🙂🙂
It can be....but most of us choose not too
I have encountered a great deal of peace by choosing not partake in the chaos of life around me. There is merit in being silence. I am not a monk.
Thank you for this lesson.
Beautiful my friend. Yes anyone can benefit from time with silence :)
I learnt a lot from your comment Eveline, thank ❤ you
Expressed perfectly.
When we do everything mindfully, everything is a meditation.
yes definitely :)
Fell asleep to this over 30 times now. Its insane how relaxing the music and your voice is. Well done.
😊😊😊
This is the most powerful video you've created yet Nick. I believe in my heart that peace is possible, but I think that every person needs to find peace within themselves first. Your videos nick, the content you create, is such an amazing tool to help people find their own inner peace. What you do is so important! Thank You! 🙏🙂
Aww thank you so much Fox. Thank you for your beautiful feedback. I'm glad it can be used as a tool to inspire people to do their own work. It's so important especially during our current time :)
These monks do not have to deal with the real {outside} world...difficult family members, co workers, neighbors, etc. I would be at peace living like a monk mostly alone too!!
I hope they grow their own food. Gardening is a great therapy
@@marcyallison5996I believe most monks had all that but they left all that behind when becoming a monk.
Oh how I pray for my life to be as peaceful and mindful as this
sadhu sadhu. 🙂🙂🙂
You are not a tree... move
His face and demeanour are of such a deep and austere beauty. Good to see, that he follows this path of spirituality and hasn't to compromise with a profit- oriented materialistic world of competition and vanity.
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much 🙂🙂🙂
As im watching the women give thier offerings, i began to cry. Not sure why but something so meaningful as giving
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much 🙂🙂🙂That people in the community are so kind and give with full faith. It's beautiful.
I surprised myself crying too. It is also the gratitude they have while receiving.
There is a doing itself, and a way in which you do things. I found both the giving and receiving beautiful. Both are humble and honour each other it seemed to me, something rare where I come from. Beautiful.

A moment of bliss indeed, to realize the symbiotic relationship founded in mutual respect and love.
Lets pray and help to alleviate the sufferings for the destitute and those in war torn countries. Without food and running water and worry about their security. it’s truly heartbreaking. Wish we all can spare a thought for them.
Yes we can all share our loving kindness and prayers :)
It is so humbling to see people freely giving of their foods to feed the monks and then bowing to them in reverence. I see modern western society and think where did we go wrong?
Hello my brother, let me introduce myself, I am from Indonesia and I happen to be a Muslim. But I really respect and like Buddhism, I learned a lot about love in Buddhism
I couldn't help but cry. The discipline and dedication these monks have made for self mastery is profound. As a collective they naturally amplify their clarity and become a LITERAL beacon of light and hope in a world getting darker by the day.
Lately I have found myself getting distracted and pulled by the events occurring in the outside world. You have inspired me to put more effort in continuing the practice of present moment awareness keeping in mind how important it is to remain detached by simply being the 'observer'. I will spend more time in that quiet stillness within. Thank you for all you do....❤
Beautiful my friend. Yes definitely take the time to develop the inner life. It's very important :)
@@NickKeomahavongOfficial thank you Nick.. have started my journey because of your work 🙏🏾
Please don’t forget the will of God. The Father of Christ.
Om mani padme hum
I don't see any greatness now. Buddhists.
Achieving peace in the hardest and darkest of times brings out the easiest and brightest of our minds to help one another
Yes it definitely can :)
Just realised how fortunate I am living my simple life. Thank you Nick 🙏
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much 🙂🙂🙂
In a world of rush rush rush, it is so inspiring to witness such stillness. The more I travel on my path, the more I yearn for this peace and stillness.
Blessings to you Nick 🙏
Thank you so much 😊
I came onto this video skipping through to find the interview ironically enough, but when I stopped and let it play, it amazed me in an otherworldly way!
I'm struggling in life right now.Your channel gives me hope to keep living.🙏
I'm glad it's helpful my friend. Hang in there and sending you good wishes from Thailand.
Heavily meditated helps to enjoy the now moment always. Live your life as a grand experience happening for you.
Hang in there. We are all with you.
Hii
Don't give up
Thank you for this wonderful documentary!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much 😊
Only blessed people able to get life like this🙏🙏
This moved me to tears at several moments. Yes. We can all achieve peace, even in current times. It just takes a little work and discipline. I feel like more people will take this path as they reach a point where "normal" life ceases to work for them.
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much Warren. I'm glad this video resonates deeply with you. Thank you again my friend 🙂🙂🙂
Merci LA SAINTE ViERGE.
Ahahahaha. Lame monks.
I always feel such a sense of calm and centering watching these. I feel more drawn to Buddhism and Taoism as the world seems more chaotic and in a state of unrest. The meditation they do, and slower pace at which monks live is a lifestyle I long for.
Sadhu Sadhu 😊😊 thank you Angelica.
You can read the book, ‘Think Like A Monk’, by Jay Shetty, to apply the same approach in your life as not everyone can join the monastic life. That book really changes the way you think just like this video.
@@paggi93 I have read that one and enjoy it very much. ♡
@@angelicaheien9585 Perfect!
A simple Life takes many forms. Everybody needs to decide what their Way is...and what will take them further down their Path. No two roads are the same...No two paths are the same either. One must embrace their Journey. And Ultimately...it will take them where they need to be. Lord Buddha has blessed us all. Bless Lord Buddha.
I totally agree. Great comment.
sadhu sadhu. 🙂🙂🙂
🙏📿
Great comment; I wrote it down as not to lose it.
Yes,i agree,only if the fruit is ripe,then it is time to pluck.everyone is in different stage of the path.Thats why we do not see monks preaching in pubs.😂
this video instilled peace in me. every step the monk took is done with great mindfulness and focus.
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much and glad you enjoyed it 🙂🙂🙂Cultivating mindfulness is definitely a practice. It takes time and effort but definitely worth it.
what beautiful people in thailand. So unselfish, they are preparing rice to give these monks. This would never happen in the west. you gotta appreciate that. Lovely , compassionate people.
Thank you so much 😊
I know Nick must have been a great dancer and an incredible counselor and I think it's fair to say at this point he has become an amazing filmmaker.
Sadhu Sadhu 😊😊 thank you so much my friend for your kind words.
Your videos give me peace! On a serious note, I’ve been locked down to my apartment for a while now, so I’ve found peace within my own space, less social media, more of your advice, gardening, exercise and yoga. But of course I have bad days, like today
Thank you for sharing! I'm glad you were able to find some peace within your current situation. That's wonderful joy!
Something inside me becomes emotional whenever I watch the videos of the monks, including children monks..... Nothing but Sacrifice, this is.
Nice video ❤️
I am a Buddhist but this is the first time I could see the monk's activities closely...
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much. I'm glad we can share more of our world 🙂🙂🙂
What a beautiful way to live life.
Thank you very much for the video 🙏.
The more I study buddhism, the more deeply I realize and understand, this is the true way the things are, this is the wisdom of our ilusion. If only everybody understood it, this planet would be so peaceful and pure place to dwell...
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much Martin 🙂🙂🙂
Feeling grateful... "Pay attention to the condition of your mind & keep it free, peaceful, & full of faith."
Peace is possible when people leave selfishness.. Everyone, every country wants to prove his/her/it's existence & dominance on other. Everyone is trying to prove how powerful he is than others. But are we thinking that what we will get by this... We are gaining these at the cost of other people & nature's rights & existence.. They are deprived from their rights because of some one's aggression & dominance.. Why we dominate, are we are not aware of our own existence , feel inferior or wish to prove superiority? Rich countries are trying to become more rich by explosive way.. People are not rich by how much wealth & superior technology they have but rich by heart, by mind caring for self & others existence & rights too.. Like Buddha said let's adopt middle path. That will never hurt & suffer any one.. Unless we leave selfishness & competition of dominance on other, how we will get peace? Is it necessary to dominate others always just to fulfill your ego & existence.. Always Trying to show how you are different than others.. No......We all are one may be different by skin colour, language, wealth & education but blood is red & all systems of body are same.. Sun rays spread from one sun but they never try to show their separate existence. They just spread light. We are like sun rays from one sun that is purity.. If we stop competing, selfishness & dominance behavior, peace is possible... Live &:let others live too... With lots of love & Metta 🙏
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much 🙂🙂🙂 and yes, if we can eradicate anger, greed and delusion, this place would be more at peace :)
@@shivammathur1158 Just remember you're not your beliefs. That's one of the reason why we have most our wars today.
You are right , powerful countries want to control the poor ones, and act with lots of hypocrisy.
Once we start looking inwards and start cultivating joy and peace inside.. the external world becomes more or less insignificant. People.. material stuff.. You monks have realized that and trained yourself to stay in this peace. So you don't need anything else. Less is more. Detached from everything that does not matter for true, longer lasting inner peace and joy. Every new day, with this kind of peace and joy, is a blessing.
😊😊😊 beautifully stated
You have a wonderful talent in showing the world how beautiful simplicity can be. Thank you Nick for all your videos and sharing.
Sadhu Sadhu 😊😊 thank you so much for your kind words Dominique. Hope you are well.
I was so inside his doings I couldn't even blink.
I just sat here for 10 minutes and then realized I had tears of joy and peace running down my cheeks!
What a beloved video!💖
Aww thank you so much Linda! I'm glad you got to fully connect with the experience. thank you so much!
I really admire this life. At some point I think some of us may contemplate leaving this chaotic life to become a monk, the thought is appealing due to the quietness it brings, however watching this makes you realize how difficult it must be to detach from even the simplest of luxuries. What a beautiful life. I commend all of you for possessing this strength and perseverance. 🙏🏼
❤❤ very beautifully explained I was just thinking the same thing.. so much courage n strength to endure n complete this simple yet beautiful life 🪶🪽🤍🙏🏼 so much knowledge n eye opening to all of us .. I ma sending u love & light n peace to u my sister ❤️🩹💡💫🌟🪽🪶❤️🩹
@daisycolon2077 Thank you, sister of light. May peace always be with you,may love guide you, and may the light of your soul touch all you encounter. You are a beautiful being. 🥰❤️🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🙏🏼
The best part about these videos is they inspire us to think and live like a monk ,despite all the challenges and odds . ❣️
I can resonate with everything in the video, so peaceful, love and kindness and getting merit all day as well. Thankyou.
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much 🙂🙂🙂It's important to stay in the field of merit :)
This guy is so good. I'm a born Christian, but... I want to be a Buddhist monk one day.
I’m playing this on my headphones to drown out the voice of a man on the bus who is loudly conversing with his invisible companions about the devil! May he and all beings experience peace
Stay safe my friend.
Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu. I am committed to live simple life according to the five precepts. Time to cultivate the parami. I love my Buddhism journey. Thank you, Bhante Nick.
Sadhu Sadhu 😊😊 that's great to hear geena.
I am so grateful for all your videos. Much love from Vancouver BC Canada. Hopefully we will find peace even with all the flooding we are experiencing right now.
I just love this. Watching this video really sets my mind at ease. Even though I can't really join a monastery, I would love to live this way and I am working toward it daily. ❤ I commented on this video 3 years ago and I'm just now getting back to watching these again. I miss them so much. I think I know where I am going now. Thank you.
Aww glad you enjoy it! Thank you so much 😊
put tears in my eyes...seeing what greed did to me.
😊
Thank you Venerable Nick. Sadhu sadhu sadhu Anumodami 🙏🙏🙏

My job consist in cleaning rooms so maybe I have a lot opportunities to clean my mind without even knowing it 😄! To be in Nature to me is like hear a Dharma talk. In these rare moments in enjoy silence and vastity. Wish you all a joyful day.
Thank you🌺
That is wonderful my friend. You are absolutely right. Cleaning of rooms can be a training for the mine for sure :-) keep up the Great work.
My job is cleaning too 😊 I clean in a primary school and the feeling I get when I'm done for the day is wonderful. Not because I'm glad it's finished, not at all, but that the children and teachers have a clean room for the next day x
@@KayTeaBananas You're a wonderful person
Thank you so much 🙏 that's a beautiful thing for you to say x
WoW, this felt calming and soothing. Beautiful images, peaceful atmosphere, informative content, the narrative made me feel the wind and the earth. Wonderfully done Nick, thanks to you, your brother monk and your community for letting us into your world and inspiring us to incorporate more peacefulness and gratefulness into our lives. Sending you warm vibes from Montreal 🤗
Aww thank you so much for the kind words. I'm glad the video and the lifestyle resonates with you. Thank you so much Dominique :)
as the world is getting more chaotic, thank you for reminding us to live more inwardly and find the peace within.
It's my pleasure. Thank you so much 😊😊
Even just watching the monks makes me feel more peaceful 🙏

Good morning sir 😊 love from Andhra Pradesh, India. I really feel so motivated everytime you upload a video
Beautiful my friend. I hope it can inspire you to keep doing the daily work diligently :)
Thank you for sharing this documentary.
It is in the moment that we can find peace and harmony for ourselves.
Having a video like this with these kind of words need to be spread more thank you
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much 🙂🙂🙂
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
Respected Nick thanks for the lill’ glimpse of a monk’s routine. Trying to be peaceful on the inside during this pandemic, but at times it gets real tough!
Yes that's normal. It just takes consistent training and diligence. But we can all support one another along this journey :)
This was extremely moving for me. I love the way this was broken down into segments. It helped me realize that is what I need to do in order to make it work in the big picture. I will pass this beautiful message on...and on...thank you. Be well. AND SO IT IS!
Wow thank you so much Marie. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the kind words :)
Being a Catholic I so much identify with this life. In French Canada (Quebec, 1960) the nuns tried to encourage and inspire us to give serious thought to religious life - from the age of six! It was instilled in us, children, that it was the only life worth living and we had a deep respect for all nuns and priests. Of course Catholic history - especially during the Middle Ages - is incomplete without monasteries - which were essential in founding Christian civilization through their learning and their discipline. There are so many similarities between Buddhist/Christian monasticism. Yes, we Catholics all longed for the peace that we knew was possible only in the religious/monastic life.
Beautiful my friend. Thank you for sharing and I completely agree. The monastic life from all the traditions all make efforts to seek truth. It's a beautiful process :) hope you are well my friend.
Venerable Nick thank you for making this documentary. Please thank Venerable Santosh and Venerable Michael for the effort and time they gave to participate in making it. Not only the video, but the thoughts behind it had a profound effect on my thinking and thus changing my life. It all clicked as if someone turned on the light. Never before have I seen this kind of beauty. Never before have I been shaken to my core. The light, love and blessings from the monks reached my heart and deeply touched my soul, and for this I am forever gratefull. I can't be there with an offering to show my gratitude, so please take this little comment, those few words and the prayers and light and love I am sending to you and monks and whole comunity.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you so much soana. I will definitely pass on the message. I'm glad it resonated with you on a deeper level. Thank you for your kind words and greetings to you all the way from Thailand 😊😊
Faith is the seed I sow. Good works are the rain that fertilizes it. Wisdom and modesty are the plows. My mind is the guiding rein. 🙏🏾Thank you Sadhu
Beautifully stated. Sadhu sadhu :)
This video is everything i wanted to find ❤️
Thank you Nick for this amazing video. Finding peace in our turbulent times is for sure not easy, but extremely helpful in grounding us. As the structures are revealed to be crumbling around us, we can work on that inner sanctuary in order to be aware, grounded and internally thrive to be flexible as new energies around us develop. We can only control what happens in our inner landscape. Blessings to you my friend.
Thank you so much Raven! I'm glad you enjoyed it :) and thank you for sharing.
So many lessons . So much calm comes into the space I thought was me. And yet . . . And yet
Beautiful video. It is possible to be calm, be at peace and be mindful with everything you do. I love the stillness and calm of him doing the chores. That's something I can definitely apply everyday.
I focus on my community and surroundings and try to make it a better place.
I love that. Finding and cultivating stillness through our daily life is possible for sure, but it does take mindfulness :)
Thank you
You're welcome ☺️
Thank you Nick. Your videos make me feel serenity and more connected to simplicity.
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much 🙂🙂🙂I'm glad it was helpful Joanna! hope you are doing well. stay safe.
Ven. Nick, this was such a healing video. Just watching it exuded so much peace and warmth. The magnitude of peace and stillness one experiences and therefore shares with the world while living such a life style must be so humbling. Feeling so inspired! Thank you for sharing. This was much needed. Couldn't have come at a better time ❤🌸🙏
Thank you so much my friend and glad it resonated with you :)
Beautiful cinematography, editing, script, stories, music, and sounds, all slowly unfolding harmoniously together. Truly touching. Thank you!
Thank you so much 😊
I have followed this man.. Nick, in the last 3 yrs and I say man, not magician, not a master, guru, etc etc, just a simple man. I don’t find him a great man, I find him him an exceptional man. He has great great videos on his you tube channel especially the easy to follow meditations, calm relaxing and peaceful, which I follow more and more and more. I always take the time to see into how people get where they are in life such as him and how they got there.
,🙏🙏🙏 I did basic research on this man and realise he came from hard times, became a very successful business person and gave it all up to be a Buddhist monk. That speak volumes to me. He’s always willing to help through his teachings on you tube, has the most wonderful presence, and I wish HIM all the happiness and good fortune of life in the world. He’s changed me so much through having had depression, anxiety, and stress all my life. He does not preach as neither did the Buddha. . He only guides. . Yes . . folks for free. Love and kindness to you always Nick x 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️ P.s I promise anyone to defy what lovely gift this man can teach and show the world to be a better place.
Sadhu sadhu 😊😊 thank you Julian for your sweet and kind words. I hope you are doing well my friend.
This is so inspirational! I loved watching this, it was so peaceful & a great reminder of the joy & peace that comes from the simple things. Thank Ven. Nick 🙏🏻☺️
Thank you so much Mel. I appreciate the support and glad you enjoyed it! :)
Yes Nick peace is very much possible, once you get to know yourself and the strength of your own mind, regardless of what's happening around you. Peace, real love for self, others and all living things in this choatic, yet beautiful world is possible. ❤
Beautifully stated shelly. Thank you for sharing!
@@NickKeomahavongOfficial you are welcome and many thanks to you also Nick. Your words and videos are greatly appreciated. Blessings
I found the narration to have just as much impact as the visual. Your words to accompany the video were obviously well thought out and written. Thank you for adding that level of excellence to this. I’m going to watch it again just to hear the narration part once more.
Thank you so much! I'm glad the narration resonates with you and that it adds to the overall story. Thank again :)
Ahhhh, this is one of the best videos I have seen on the internet. I have come to the conclusion that the greatest treasure in the universe is inner peace ......😊😊😊
Sadhu Sadhu 😊😊 thank you so much James
O just don't know why but your videos are just mesmerizing.. I am just so much attracted to this kind of simple lifestyle when being 24 I am puzzled in life. Competing with the people like me.. Sometimes, I just feel that life is not that tough that we have made it. We are not satisfied with the basic necessities of life and we are always uncomfortable and pessimistic about our lives which I believe now is very simple if we are satiated at our minds.
Thank you so much.
Huge resect from India. 🙏
Keep it up 👍
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much 🙂🙂🙂I'm glad the video resonates with you Harjot.
The buddah is a taurus. So am I but a woman and I totally love being by myself and being with nature. It's incredible I would love to train with a monk. Amazing mind discipline. ☺ blessings to all monks. Awesome and good people
"...the real enemy: the darkness in his own mind." How few people believe this!
Monk has a best and a simple life we must follow these steps . I like your each and every videos
Thank you !
You're welcome! thank you lumini.
thank you all.......beautiful.
You're welcome 😊😁 thank you
Just One word *BEAUTIFUL* ❤️
Thank you so much 😊
The more simple the more peace.

Wishing everyone a lot of blessings 💞🙏🙏🙏
NAMO BUDHAYA
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much Vinh 🙂🙂🙂
It resonate very much with me. I wanted to become a monk 6 years ago...but it could not happen...it is not my purpose.
Now i try to live as much as i can a simple life. Materialism is not for me. Peace...Love and Happiness is.
beautiful video! thx as always Nick. It really captures how unnecessary all of the 'nutty-ness' of our current events are, when you see how it's possible to live in a simple, peaceful way.
As a side note, the cinematography is outstanding! like showing different angles and close-ups. Great work!
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much Bob. that's very kind of you. 🙂🙂🙂
Buddha...
The great teacher in the world.
He understood everything and preached.

This video makes me feel grateful for everything i have...Great job Nick...love all ur videos🙏👏👏👏
Wonderful my friend. Thank you so much and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
i noticed music from avatar the last air bender during the part where he’s lighting the candles🥰aang was also a bald monk who wore a orange robe, was very spiritually connected to the earth & meditated many times a day like this man. idk why but it just gave me a great sense of peace & clarity. I’ve always admired monks & their way of life especially because of avatar❤️thank you for this video it was very calming
Thank you, Ven. Nick. Very helpful. I'm a big fan of theory, but seeing theory in practice resonates with me on a much deeper level. Seeing others just do it can be a good teaching tool. 👍👍👍
Sadhu Sadhu. Thank you rich ☺️☺️
Ven Nick, thank you for sharing this video, I very much enjoyed watching it...
Thank you so much Nuri 😊😊
A simple life is definitely the way to go 😊
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much 🙂🙂🙂
Thank you Nick. The sad truth is life would be much better if we slow down and live simply. That's the most likely path to peace...
Beautiful insight into a Monk's life. Made me feel peaceful just by watching it. Thank you for creating and sharing 🙏🌹
Thank you 😌😌
I have been watching and observing your videos for quite some time and admit I am in awe. With this video I can taste, smell and feel the peace if that even makes sense. Thank you🙏
