- The Simple Life of a Monk
The monk life is very simple and minimal. The monk life includes going on daily alms offering through the local village and practicing meditation. We practice meditation to train and purify our minds. I hope this video inspires you to live a more simple life. This site is an extension of the Papae Meditation Retreat called Ashram Mae Good and is located 7km away from Papae. This gives monks and retreat participants who want to experience more solitude and quiet to practice their meditation. This site has no electricty so you are fully emersed in nature. I hope you enjoy. #monk #minimalism #monks____________________________________

Would you be able to live at a place like this in the middle of the forest with no electricity?
@James Simpson yes I definitely do especially after it rains 😊
Yes indeed that would be a blessing to me personally. l'm sensitive to some electronic devices l can't stand near a microwave when it's on, l can't keep my phone on with me all the time especially with cellular data on or else l get migraines and in extreme cases faint; l would love to live in such a place and enjoy nature
@@alanahorner8012 yes its so interesting how being around so much electronics can impact us. Like you said, its good to give it some space 😊😊
YES NICK.
@@anilballari96321 ❤❤
after spending 30 years of my life in rush and envy. Finally I learnt was "Less is More". So true.
❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
It is actually less is peaceful.
More is never enough
👌👍
I think so.
This is not Simple life .....This is Real and Incredible Life...This is actually "Life"...Love from India...I myself follow Buddha...Thank you Master for this video
Sadhu sadhu ❤❤❤🙏
Be proud ,this was thought by lord buddha who was an Indian☺️
Actually simple life is most difficult. Giving into all temptations and being a slave of mind is easier than questioning ones mind constantly.
Word very simple but mening is very deep👍
@@bhartisingh3466 . It is easier at first and yet with much Buddhist practice and meditation with constant readings of Buddha writings and Buddhist stories, that life gets a lot easier. The 8 Noble Path truly does take the sword edge from much of the fetters/chains. Also Lust is extremely difficult to overcome, but Buddha went into detail about ways to overcome it. Such as viewing everyone as family members and, in extreme cases, as if they had no skin. Eventually, Lust desires dissipates as it is promised.
I feel a deep respect and love for the buddhist monks and their filosophy. They don't waste their time talking or trying to convince people from different backgrounds and religions that they are right and the others don't. They show us their true essence in complete silence but it is a very powerful silence that is stronger thant a thousand words or speeches. Things must appear to be what thay really are in their simplicity; not in appearence and illusion. I also respect Buddha and feel reverence towards him. Our Buddhist brothers show us what deep foccus and calmness can bring and with their example and simple way of living, they are saving and balancing our world. Greetings from Portugal.
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much 🙂🙂🙂
I want a life like this. No heartaches , no emotional pain.
🙂🙂🙂
Yes Ur right no attachments,no effections their life is so beautiful without sarrows they always live in their own world
Plz reply me
Abby Bella, it is impossible to live in this world and "never" experience such, even if you follow the Buddhist path. However, what is possible is to be so rooted and grounded into the spiritual teaching that you are not overwhelmed, enslaved by heartache and pain.
Lastly, I don't think that a person who is following the Buddhist path is effectively practicing the way if they don't experience such, because in some instances, heartache and pain are inextricably bond to compassion, which is very characteristic of Buddhism.
In other words, one must experience heartache and pain to some extent in order for compassion to emanate. We may not label the negative emotional change within us as such, but that's what we are experiencing first- heartache and pain.
They are sannyasis yogis renounced celibate priests. Cannot speak or even write a female. This tradition existed thousands of years before Prince Siddhartha was born.
When ever I watch I cry from my heart so soo peaceful there aren't words May you all have the strength courage be blessed always
Awwwe thank you so much Kris. I'm glad you enjoyed it ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏
So sweet kris
I also cried but dont no why.. 😓
@@naganurravi218 for humanity, my wild guess.
Me too. I cried a lot not because of sadness. Because I delighted the way live. I hope one day My biggest wishes is to be a Buddhist monk.
They live in real world how pacefull their life is! And we are living in virtual world how much restless our life is.
💛💛💛🙏
I am a Moslem myself and I am very interested in deepen my knowledge of the monks and the concept of meditation. Just by looking at your videos, really bring a tremendous amount of calmness and stillness to myself. For the record I am coming to Thailand within the next three months. So I'm very excited
Oh wonderful! I hope you have a great time. If you are in Chiang mai, you’re welcome to visit our retreat center. Www.papaemeditation.org
How was your time in Thailand?
@lukemckean6155 hey guyss.. apology for the late response, I have been having a great 9 months here in Bangkok so that I almost forget my spiritual plan. I am planning to get it soon...
@@ayujisu2144
It's free path
Buddhism is not about preaching it's about showing it through actions , genuinely interested minds will take us there and makes us understand that
earthly desires are endless
This way of life gives peace or atleast the lessons inspired from it❤
May all human beings attain the supreme bliss of nirvana ( nibbana ) ....

Simple and beautiful life i wish i can live like this too away from hectic world
Sadhu Sadhu 😊😊 thank you yasho
This makes it so clear for me how little of the physical stuff we need..and how much more time we would have to work on our spiritual journey..and not waste our lifetime. Beautiful and peaceful to watch. Love the scenery and the sounds of nature! Thank you 🌄🦋🌼🐓🌾🐦
Thank you Elena :)
True spiritual leaders Buddhist monks.
🙏🙏🙏🙏❤
You are not living a meaningful life.
Coz u didn't meet yet Himalayan Yogi and sant.
@@seemaladwal2873 you are right...🙏
Such a beautiful life!! Were it not for the wife and kids, I would definitely love to call that my home!! Thank you as always for sharing 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much. Greetings to you from Thailand ❤❤❤
What a beautiful life!
Thank you 💚💚
I love how you all take care of each other ... giving and receiving...we are here to share and bless all life ... these videos are so educational. Namasta...
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much 🙂🙂🙂
I hope you’ll always be blessed by the love of this world, the true love and spirit of pure and caring community. To see all these people who have so little and still willing and grateful to share whatever they have, because they see the benefit of this symbiotic life with the monks is so amazing it just melts my heart and restores hope for this troubled world. I’m so happy to follow the Buddhist path even though I live in a big city and don’t experience such life daily. I really miss my local Buddhist monastery (lockdown life 😞). Thank you for those beautiful documentaries. Lots of loving kindness from London 🙏💚
Thank you so much my friend. It's always touching for me also to see the generosity. Its beautiful. 😊😊
I understand how you feel, friend. The path of the Buddha truly is life changing and with the banishment of superficial desires, we can achieve true freedom. I do not live in the city although I do live close to it, and It's certainly much more of a challenge to remain grounded in such a chaotic environment but it is possible. All that we can do at the end of the day is to try our best. Wishing you all the best 🙏🏻
I want to thank you for sharing your life and knowledge with us, for having to read a lot of negative comments from people and nonetheless keeping up with the work of producing these videos. 😊
Awwwww thank you so much my friend ❤❤❤🙏
You do so much for humanity. Thank you from me and 5 children and dad who is with the angels. Love from Canada 🇨🇦
Awww thank you so much for your support Linda. That's very kind of you ❤❤❤🙏 greetings from Thailand.
After seeing this I feel relaxed
wonderful :)
I have so much respect for the monks for the way they have sacrificed their entire life for Dhamma! How peaceful the life is when they enlighten themselves.🙏💐🙏
Sadhu sadhu ❤❤❤🙏
Life is easy, why do we make it complicated???...😶😶😶😶
❤❤❤🙏
Human beings are still trying to find artificial comfortable life so we became busy and made our life critical
Greed is the cause.
Others ppl make our simple lyf complicated 😭😭😭
@@vishalgupta9979 absolutely right

Buddhist is the person who sees the world with a different point of view 🙏🇱🇰 This is the Reality...❤ What can we gain By going after this fancy world? Only the pain, tiredness & happiness for a short period of time❗
Then we leave from here but nothing to carry 🙄 Our lives are just mirages 😢

I think in about 5 years, I'm gonna do this.
Been basically living my life like a monk anyway, following most of the precepts, most of the time.
Might as well go all in :)
You don know what is tomorrow..Live everyday as if ur a monk..
What is it that you do on daily basis
amazing
❤❤❤🙏
Thank you for this insightful video. Great video filming and editing Ven Nick. Thank you for sharing.
great life! blessed!
Sadhu Sadhu 😊😊 thank you so much
Simple, peaceful, stress free, and very ideal lifestyle, wanna retire this way!
Hi
If you love God with heart and soul u will do everything for that 🙏🙏
It would be little hard initially. It depends upon what is one's intention. If it is certainly to attain nibbana, then there would no better place than this to live forever. Once any one starts living like this njoying this, it becomes habitual. I felt very nice to see that there is such a place in the world which is very natural to live with silence forever.
Thanks for sharing & Metta to all of you.
Sadhu sadhu ❤❤❤
This is profound but this is not the path for everyone. There is a higher purpose for everyone on this planet and this mission is theirs. Blessings to all 🙏❤️
Fabulous video. Watching and listening to Nick's videos is akin to meditation itself - very calming.
Thank you so much my friend ❤❤❤🙏
This is the purpose of life

Hello Nick, love from India to you all pure souls. I feel so depressed and having kind of fear all the time. I really wish to practice a monk's life to get stuck out of all these, to find myself as a positive one. Please do guide me 🙏

Greetings to you Ven. Nick Santajitto. (Nick Keomahavong), I have few questions, do monks practice vipassana meditation and anapana meditation, If so are there elderly monks to guide and improve with those techniques? Do monks go in vipassana retreats where they can learn the techniques more thoroughly?
hope you have a wonderful life, with love and metta :)
Hello. Yes we do have instructions and training by more senior monks. That's the best part about being here 😊
Namaskarams

Thanku so much sir for sharing this video💫💫
Thank you ❤❤
I've heard that the monks are never supposed to say 'thank you' for the food, and it's considered bad manners to do so. Is this correct?
For us, the way we say thank you is by offering them a blessing 😊
The givers should say the thank you not the recievers:) you see they are pouring water and monks chant mantra, it's called pattidana the transfer of good thing to ancestors and the late loved ones
very calm and peaceful
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much 🙂🙂🙂
This is really life enjoy lovely lifestyle thanku

Sự hiện diện của Thầy vô cùng có ý nghĩa, cảm ơn rất nhiều!
