A Day in the Life of a Buddhist Monk

- So what is it like in the day of a Buddhist monk? In this video, I wanted to give you a breakdown of the Buddhist monk life. I give you a rundown of the daily schedule from morning until the end of the day here at the Papae Meditation Retreat. I also share three takeaways that I learned from this minimalist life. The monk life is simple but not easy. I hope you enjoy! #buddhistmonk #monk #minimalist
Location: Papae Meditation Retreat

Thank you my friend 🧡🧡🧡🧡🙏
Thank You! Very helpful as I am a Lay person living in Canada. I balance work and living at home. I enjoy cleaning my apartment and am about to ad some volunteer work aroound my work. So Thank You! Time for self...indeed I need to thread that in my day. Meditating everyday as well...I just learned to do a "bow" and remarkably the benefit's of this have been immense, and enjoyable. I just have to get to doing it everyday.! It is ironic that in my 50's...I've been getting up naturally around 5:30 and fill my mind with mindless activity. Now, I have an idea of what to accomplish with that time. I was also going to ad, community volunteering as well....and of course time to one's self...very lacking in my world. So, Thank You!
you radiate so much positivity and calmness !
Awww. Thank you for your kind words 💙💙💙💙🙏
Greetings from Thailand 😊😊
Practicing it at home

Listening to the topics that you cover is very inspiring, and it strengthens my resolve to appreciate the life that I have. I'm single, no children, and the only responsibility that I have is myself. The more that look at it, the I realize how fortunate am. To have a sacred place, which I have, is truly a blessing, especially when I consider the state of the lives of that I see. Thank you, bless you, keep sharing.
This life seems to be so beautiful
Thank you 🧡🧡🧡🙏

Sadhu
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! I'm grateful for your sharing!
It's a pleasure 😊😊 I'm glad it's helpful my friend.
Thank you for such an interesting and motivotional video and the community spirit is a something we could all aspire to!
❤❤❤
I learn a lot from your videos. It would be great to follow your monk life. Try to do as much of your day. With 5 kids and the responsibilities that goes with it, I can't do everything. Happy with what I can do at the moment. Trying to focus as much of my day on spirituality. That part of my life gives me fulfillment. Much Love.
Wondeful. Thank you so much. Yes make time each day for yourself 😊
Another such inspiring video. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Thank you so much 😊
Beautiful.

Watching this during a challenging time. This was a gift from God. Beautiful video. Thank you, brother.
Thank you so much my friend. I hope it helped ❤❤🙏
Thank you for enlightening me by your wisdom.
❤❤🙏
What a wonderful life you live!
Nick, you are a brave man for changing your life so drastically. I find your videos captivating. I found Buddhism not long ago and I am fascinated by how you guys interpret life. Getting rid of so many things, we, westerners, believe are essential, but they are not!. We just want them, but truthfully, we do not need them.
Please keep posting videos!
Aww thank you so much for your kind words. It really means alot. Greetings to you from Thailand ❤❤❤🙏
Beautifully done. Thank you for the inspiration to be and do better!🙏
Thank you 💚💚💚
Lovely. Such simplicity! ❤
I hope to cultivate your teachings in my life. Bliss.
Awww. Thank you so much my friend ❤❤❤
Greetings from Thailand 🙂

Excellent message for all of us..... pronam🙏
Thank you so much :-)
It's wonderful to discover ones purpose in life. Monkhood sounds so pure, peaceful, and humbling.
I never heard of "gutter guard" before. I need to incorporate that practice into my life 🧘
Thanks for yet another awe inspiring vlog!!!
Thank you so much Julia. And yes, the gutter guard concept just made sense to me 😂😂
@@nickkeomahavong01 we definitely need the gutter guard in order to achieve work-life balance 👍🏻 otherwise we go 😵🥴🤯
@@juliaangelicaa5395 yessss. Haha. I agree 😊
Thank you nick. Some great tips to think on and apply to my life. I have difficulty finding balance and end up burning my self out. It's time to change. Thanks again, nameste 🙏
Awesome. Thank you. And yes balance is key 😊
Beautiful...Thank you......Very helpful and inspirational.. What a marvelous existence.
Thank you so much George 🙂🙂
What beautiful sermon stay blessed too
Thank you so much my friend 🙂🙂
Lovely 😍❤️🙏
Thank you so much 😊😊😊
The interaction with the community is fulfilling and beautiful.
Nick, would you make a video on how a lay person who is interested in Buddhism might live according to a meaningful schedule (outside of a monastic life)? What might that schedule be?
Thank you for all your wonderful stories.
That's a very great idea. Thank you 😊
love it. thank you
Sadhu sadhu 😊😊 thank you so much
We are learning so much from you 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much 😊😊
such a beautiful and hearth warming channel
thank you so much
Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience.
❤❤❤🙏 thank you
@@nickkeomahavong01 we need to thank you 💝
My regards and respect to you all from Australia.
Sadhu sadhu Wayne. Happy new year to you and your family 😊
Sadhu ,It’s good to watch your video.You inspire me a lot to meditate more. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sadhu sadhu. That makes me happy to hear that. Keep it up 💛💛
Once again Nick you have created a great gift of a video. Earlier today I recommended your channel to a friend with Buddhist history (retreats, meditations) who has had to permanently close his small bakery, his lifelong dream, due to the covid19. At the moment he is battling loss and sadness as we both try to concentrate on being of service to others. To process the pain and not cultivate suffering. While looking up the link to send to him, I saw and watched this video on your daily schedule. It is inspiring me to better understand organizing my life in a similar form. To create the guard rails to be more at peace in my life. To let go and fight the good fight over self. Thanks again Nick, stay safe my friend.
Awww thank you so much for sharing this. Yes you're right, the world is goibg through so much and will continue to go through more. This is just the state of our world. The buddha said it in his last teaching "dont be careless." No matter what's going on, we need to practice diligently. But hang on and meditate daily. Sending you blessings from Thailand ❤❤❤❤🙏
Hello Nick! I am new to your channel and I already started like it and the Buddhist ideology! Keep your a spirit!
Another great analogy. The gutter guard!
❤❤❤❤🙏
I have never been so quick to click a video! Man, I'm far too spoiled now to do these. LOL! Liked the video and keep it coming!
Yeaaaa I love it. It's a record for you. Haha. Thank you Dan 😊
Very nice
Thank you for this video
Thank you Kiran. It's a pleasure.
@@nickkeomahavong01 l love Budha I pray
Man shant nhi rhta so can't meditation 🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏 thank you
Thank you ❤💚💚
Great video thank you.
🙏🙏🙏❤
This video is so inspiring! It's indeed a beautiful thing to be able to have gutter guards. Life is so stressful that all we think of is our problems. It's very important to have balance and no attachment. lndeed these advices are very useful in analysing our daily lives and possibly make it better.
Awwwe thank you so much Alana. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes I think its so important that we find ways to decompress each day 😊😊
Dear Nick, seeing you carrying the beautiful golden Buddha was breathtaking. Thankyou for sharing your life. I’ve been reading the 227 precepts. Some of them are confusing but I’m very sure there is good reason for all of them x
Thank you. And yes it does need some explanation since it was established during a different era.
Yeah. I would.. thanks for sharing with us pointwise. Due to some responsibility 5 more years then I would go on this path only . So making self preparation & trying to convert myself into this by creating strong foundation of Dhamma in me.
Yesss. Clear up your foundation and the time will come 🙂

Thanks so much for this video...self explanatory and clear.
As I am looking forward to become a budhist nunca myself...I wanted to have a clear or better understanding of what a day in a monk's or nun's life will look like....and this happened to be perfectly clear....I also came to realize, that I am not practicing correctly to become one....so, with this video, I have a solid, good idea of how to continue my journey in the right way. THANKS SO MUCH🙏🏾

Very beautiful 🙏🙏🙏🙏
