INTO THE DHAMMA: The Journey of a Novice Monk

After coming to Wat Marp Jan for many years, Wen Jie decides to give ordination a go. He finds it's not as easy as he first thought.

[@rajvijayasiri4920]

Following the path of the great teacher who left everything 2500 years ago to find the true nature of life.

[@winwatjana9453]

OMG. A capitalist Singaporean can become a monk in Thailand. I am really happy for you, as you could benefit from your ordination with wisdom. Mindful meditation is really helpful. Practice makes perfect!

[@ladakhthroughages.6286]

So inspiring. You could do it. I kept longing for it, through out. But my positive karma was not ripped enough for that in this life. May I be like you in my next life. I have truly realised by now. Yes, Samsara is suffering. Only nirvana could be the ultimate peace ✌️

Namo Buddhaya. Namo Dhammaya. Namo Sanghaya.

Only Buddhism can save the world.

[@tina.singh27]

No matter of religion, cast, nationality or color, just be a good human being, don't harm others, help anyone with compassion, follow the wonderful path of dhamma, that is the way to salvation and true happiness 🙏

nice video. it would be great if the monks did NOT use disposable plastic bottles though. I was shocked to see that.

[@zappthezapper33]

doesn't seem that these guys are meditating a lot. chanting, almsround, chores, more chores, chanting...

[@RemyThunderknife]

Obviously they don't film very much of that.

[@ilTroubadori]

As Ajahn Cha said.."You don't leave the meditation on the mat.." All actions are meditation..

[@tonbonthemon]

Visit yourself and you'll see what they do. Even at Abhayagiri where there are chores and work periods and chanting, there's lots of meditation for everyone, even the guests.

[@sheilakirwan9462]

if you go to Burma there is much more meditation there at numerous meditation centres/monasteries ….

"get around my defilements"- Most powerful and thought provoking question. Thank you 😊

[@formnothing4919]

I fast forwarded the video to catch the last bit where you said " my level of mindfulness and concentration has never been this good "..... I like to add something further..... The ultimate objective of achieving concentration and mindfulness is to bestow upon you the ability to see things what they really are and not what they appear to be......that in itself is WISDOM. When you achieve the wisdom to see things what they really are, you give up wanting and clinging. Unfortunately, the video doesn't display the essence of Buddha's Teaching.

[@veerabhadraswamy-vbs5607]

Thanks for the path to The BUDDHA

[@Sanatani_kattar]

अच्छा है

[@jeffreyjackson5229]

"Mental stamina"- I like that. I never quite looked at it like that but will going forward 🙏

[@jeffreyjackson5229]

One thing that will assist an individual who desires to walk that path is to truly, ernastly, consistently look at the state of this world. And while one cannot escape it and its suffering, monkhood is more peaceful and orderly than the outside world. That would give me at least the incentive to persevere.🙏

[@jeffreyjackson5229]

For such a brief video, it was inspirational. The monk definitely was as well. Of all the forms of Buddhism, Thai Buddhism is truly a motivation. Be well and stay well.🙏

Where is he from?

[@vicaravitakka8332]

Singapore, he said.

[@parthgupta9658]

Why is the monk not able to sit still on the chair? I mean the posture. He has to take some support. Is it because of the long meditation, or eating less food, the back has become weak? I don't know

[@seesharpminor7996]

He might be doing that deliberately, so as not to get too comfortable, or he could be slightly nervous in front of the camera

[@awulf247]

His practice is being mindful, of whatever posture he may take.

[@tzarinavictoria3531]

Monks should have beards as to have one is contrary to comfort, beauty and worldly views about facial hair and societal norms

[@kenmaharaj5238]

great video

[@martyr1856]

if you do it just for fun someday it will be over but if you want to learn you need to learn for the rest of your life :) you gain everyday with grown mindset
