Would you like to live as a buddhist monk? I think i'd like

[Joso]

No.

Why?

[Smeagol]

Why?

I can't think of a single reason why I would want to live as a buddhist monk.

Maybe if I could be one of those bad-ass Kung-fu monks...

The Shaolin Monk pictured there is actor David Carradine, who was Kwai Chang Caine in the TV Series Kung Fu (1972-1975). David Carradine died of fatal erotic asphyxiation, under questionable circumstances (in Thailand), in 2009. Bruce Lee was disappointed when he didn't get the part. My Barber, Eric, is Bruce Lee's cousin, he doesn't like David Carradine. But, David Carradine played the part of the Shaolin Monk spectacularly. David Carradine's father was actor John Carradine, who was a preacher in the classic silver screen movie, Grapes of Wrath. Kwai Chang Caine was a fugitive from the Chinese Emperor, and escaped to America, where he wandered through the Western States, but there were many scenes from the Shaolin Monastery (as memory flashbacks).

It was a great show.
Wish they would make a remake...
Sad how David died...

Why? I don't think so

While you are satisfied with your family, friends and the world around you, it is simply inadequate to go to monks, I think).

[Joso]

First we must completely be disappointed in life and in people to make such a decision.

I am not disappointed in life and i am not disapointed in people. I am only disapointed with myself, this is why i am very interested in Buddhism because the practice of Buddhism is the best way of self improvement. Also, Buddhism is a so unique thing, nothing more can makes me feel as much inner peace as Buddhism does.

[Joso]

I would do what men do in Thailand which is to be a Buddhist monk temporarily and then rejoin worldly society after.

It sounds good, maybe i would like to do that too

[Joso]

Probably because of the lifestyle of Budhist monks and seeing Budhist civilization. They believed that would harm Turks' horse warrior culture and warlike attributes and would turn Turks into humble people seeking modesty. Aristocracy of Turks said no despite that religion was expanding in all sides back then.

So you say that "Buddhism prevents social development" but you deffends a war culture... You are very coherent, my friend, very coherent...
