The daily life of a monk is a long quest to attain enlightenment and enlighten all people about the "right way".

A typical day might look like this,


03.00 Wake up

04.00 - 05.00 Chanting

05.00 - 05.45 Meditation

06.00 - 07.00 Collect food with traditional bowl/Breakfast

11.00 - 12.00 Chanting/Lunch

13.00 - 15.00 Walk/Meditation

15.00 - 16.30 Cleaning tempel/Beverage

18.00 - 19.00 Chanting

19.30 - 20.45 Walk/Meditation

20.45 - 21.30 Chanting


The rules are many, but necessary for them to attain enlightenment through deep meditation.

227 rules for monks (bhikkhus)
311 rules for nuns (bhikkhunis)

 

Monks in agreement,
with a common goal,
to our service.
