I am working towards this. My life is a train wreck but striving to put the cars back on the track.

[@juliaangelicaa5395]

Wow, your filming is National Geographic caliber! Thank you for "transporting me" into your world of peace and tranquility. I love the sounds of different birds chirping in the background, rain/ ⚡, crowing 🐓, bells, sounds of gentle footsteps, water, etc. The monks seemed calm, happy, and genuinely contended..... all things money can't buy. Watching your video is what keeps me grounded 👌🏻 Xie-xie, grazie mille, salaam alaikum, arigato, kha-pun-kap, Ven Nick !!!

And who go to work to make the community functional if everyone live lazy life like this one ??

[@Septemberhello]

True humans have devastated everything on the planet for competition greed groupism and ego

[@saraswathipr9563]

It is not a lazy life sure.It is peaseful life.

And what is community function? If we decided to live a simple one, there is no need of a huge wealth.

To all the dreamers out there, don't ever let the world's negativity disenchant you or your spirit. If you surround yourself with love and right people, ANYTHING is possible. 🙏🖤

[@NickKeomahavongOfficial]

😀😀

[@Lone_Star86]

"don't let the worlds negativity" There is no negativity in the real world. It is the "human" world society and culture that is negative. Monks have essentially left human society for this reason. The 🌎 world, universe and everything apart from 97% of humans are living in balance with nature.

[@alen1306]

The video is so soothing and calming! It relaxes me so much that I feel better just by looking at it. I’m so used to the chaos of city/town living that I forget what it means to be by myself with my feelings/thoughts & nature. I wish I could obtain inner peace, comfort, and ease amidst busy work life. Everything about my work makes me so anxious, stressed, uneasy, and even depressed that I struggle to pay attention to my own needs & how I feel inside. I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way, and that many people (including me) are so unhappy with how the world is built and the unhealthy lifestyles that it leads people towards

[@NickKeomahavongOfficial]

I’m glad the video helps to bring you some calm. Sadhu sadhu

a terrific view of a monks life. I have a couple of questions about ALM's rounds. was this filmed in one go or this several rounds, because it seem like the bowls were filled but more kept being added. next, how do the lay people know how many monks are coming so they have enough food or not too much?

I live in a semi-arid region of Brazil, I'm a theravadin layman and when it's raining here, I use rainwater to wash dishes, shower and other things, that monk used a lot of water just to wash his shaver even though it was raining, a big waste, he needs to learn that in Buddhism there is also awareness of preserving natural resources and using them rationally.

Ven . Nick One more Amazing Content ! Beautiful depiction of monk life . By the way , was it you in the documentary in the beginning while alming in the village with the brother monk ?(I think I spotted you .) Do you edit these videos yourself ? Are the monks allowed to do these activities apart from doing meditation and practicing mindfulness ? I really wanted to ask you , if you don't mind can you reveal who is the person behind this marvellous cinematography? . The scenes were captivating . One last 😅🙂question as one of the friend asked what is the rule behind the separation between male female in monastery ? What's the concept behind this ?I will Glad if you can clear it out .🙂 I hope you are doing well . God bless you and all the brother monks . Thank you🙏
