Continue to study the Buddha's teaching and do vipassana meditation. Cultivate the ten parami and develop the attitude of letting go. Understand the law of kamma. Keep going and you will find the answer. Understand that there is no ultimate happiness (satisfaction) in the world. The three characteristics of existence are anicca, anatta and dukkha.
@brentonius12 in this video he has spoken very vaguely on cyclic existense(samsara) to what he refers is the cycle of suffering from cause and effect. you experience something negative, react negatively and cause the cycle to continue. this also is very vague, this is simply because the lessons are not easy to explain so briefly. there is much wisdom overlooked at first but with time and familiarization it becomes clear.
@rushsps250 Have you decided on a particular sect or lineage of Buddhism? It makes it a lot easier to narrow down your options if you do. By the way, is there any particular reason why you want to ordain outside of the united states?
As I watched I was thinking/feeling this is heaven on earth and then I thought of Jesus and how he taught the keys to the kingdom are within each of us. And then I had an epiphany: This man is actually living Christ Consciousness! This peace, this concern for others, this simplicity, this detactment from material things...isn't that how Jesus lived? No, he doesn't worship Jesus. He doesn't call himself a Christian. But, IMHO, he goes beyond that, and he lives very much as Jesus did. Amazing!
The spiritual life is for the purifying, liberating & enlightening of consciousness. Naturally, when the body dies, consciousness will 'go out' then. But, before we die, it is essential to find liberation. This is the purpose of the spiritual life as advised by the Buddha, namely, 'the unshakeable freedom of mind'. Nirvana is freedom of mind. It is not freedom from mind.
In the Korean monastic tradition usually they say that 90 percent of monks return to laylife within 5 years. My experience is that for young and intelligent monks who appear in documentaries as young monks this rate is even higher. There is nothing wrong with returning to laylife. But mistaking Buddhism for some idealized picture can be misleading. Buddhism can be viewed as something you can actually use and put into practice regardless of our personal situation. The venerable monk mentiones and shows the Chinese sutra collection. Do western Thetavada monks study Chinese characters to the extent they could understand them? That is very unlikely. In most of similar documentaries there is very little mentioned about the teachings of the Buddha. Young monks cannot have sufficient experience to be able to provide truly useful information. It can be interesting and entertaining but my view is that it should be only taken as such. It is wonderful that there is such a monastery in Austrslia. I wish everyone involved good practice and great determination for maintaining that blessed place. Thank you
@Diehuty Find a Buddhist Temple/Monastery near you and approach the monks respectfully, about your dream. If you can't find one near by...you may want to consider relocating to another country. (If you're serious) With Metta, _/I\_
A few thousand silent monks like this will bring more peace to the planet than all the screaching of millions of mad mullahs , Christan Fathers bent on mass conversion and chanting of priest of all Faith .
See, this is where you have it wrong, this isn't about race? We're all part of the same race, the same being, the same energies. Some groups have just evolved differently and usually to better suit their environments.
First off- i loved the video. But just because you go live in a Buddhist monastery doesn't mean you rid yourself of the burdens of food cost, healthcare cost, shelter/heat/water. So how are monetary's like this funded. Who bought the computer he was working on in the office. For most of us the challenge is to live in this peaceful frame of mind while navigating the challenges of modern life.
If you are interested in Nepal, than Rangjung Yeshe Institute in Nepal offers courses to learn Buddhism in English or have a look at Kopan Monestry...these two location are nearby. you can go Nepal and study buddhism for 3 months and be a monk during that period. You don't have to a monk, all your life. You can even choose to study Buddhism till university level. Monk means poverty, you can't accept money, you eat what you get, you don't pray all the time, you need to work as well.wish you luck
Sorry but you really haven't escaped anything, from the looks of it, you guys are eating, which means you got hungry... hunger branches from the root of suffering... so yes the suffering is still there, however I guess you did escape from the typical lifestyle so... props to that
First learn to deal with the city. Face it; observe it. THEN you'll be a good monk. If you just run to the forest because you're sick of the city and other people, that doesn't solve anything. I used to think like that too. But in the final analysis, it's only aversion, not well-founded practice. So, first know the city, then go ordain. Sure, you can go on retreats, but don't make the final move out of mere caprice and chasing after so-called "peace". You won't find any such thing.
Every religion does not teach the same thing at all since the core believe of each religion are not the same. For example buddhist doesn't relink with any gods but others do. Buddhist meditation method is unique and from the teaching of the Buddha himself. Anyone can verify this fact by practicing buddhist meditation himself. You don't need guess work.
Beautiful love from melbourne
Everytime I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders, I come back here and rewatch this and feel so peaceful
Same!

Consciousness means mind in Buddhism, the awareness is still there, after enlightenment.

ถ้ามี ชาวต่างชาติ มาบวชกันมากขึ้นและปฏิบัติธรรมกันมากขึ้นจะให้ศาสนาพุทธ เจริญรุ่งเรือง และขยาย ต่อไป ให้กว้างขวาง โลกจะได้สงบสุข มากขึ้น ไม่เบียดเบียนกัน แต่ทุกสิ่งทุกอย่าง เมื่อมีเกิดขึ้น ก็ต้องมีดับไป ต่างก็ตกอยู่ในกฎ ของธรรมชาติ คือมีความเสื่อมไป เป็นธรรมดา ไม่ว่าจะเป็นรูปธรรม หรือนามธรรม ต่างล้วนแล้ว ตกอยู่ ในกฎของไตรลักษณ์ ทั่วสากลพิภพ

I thought that they were not allowed to talk

real peace of mind comes after death
A few thousand silent monks like this will bring more peace to the planet than all the screaching of millions of mad mullahs , Christan Fathers bent on mass conversion and chanting of priest of all Faith .
Wow there are a lot of white Buddhist monks in this temple...
See, this is where you have it wrong, this isn't about race? We're all part of the same race, the same being, the same energies. Some groups have just evolved differently and usually to better suit their environments.
How they are getting money to live?
They live by what is given, including food. People become monks after giving up all their materiel possessions.
If there were no simple people to give them food and everyone was a monk where would the food come from?
Juice Pod คุณเป็นมิจฉาทิษฐิ เป็นดอกบัวที่อยู่ติดตมที่พระพระพุทธเจ้าสอนเรื่องดอกบัวสี่เหล่า , และอีกอย่างหนี่งพระพุทธเจ้าแบ่งสัตว์โลกออกเป็น2 อย่าง, สัตว์โลกที่สอนได้ และสัตว์โลกที่สอนไม่ได้ , คุณเป็นประเภทที่สอง ,
At least he can keep his shirt on dude.

buddhism does not encourage everyone to become monks. also they are free to leave if they should wish
No way to left anything back so look at your mind
Think lucky.😂😎😎😋
