It seems like a good idea and the lifestyle has a lot of decipline and respect and it brings peace.
Also, I believe the more commited you are, the closer you are to Buddhahood.
I might join a monastery after I've studied more about Buddhism & become better at meditation.
What are your opinions or thoughts on this?
Are any of you monks yourself?
What is the monk lifestyle like in your view?
Does anyone know any good monasteries that I can join?
