A Day In The Life Of A Buddhist Monk

BANGKOK, THAILAND - APRIL 20: Poor people wait for donations from Poonnakeat Khamkhanis before the ordination ceremony at Wat Boworn on April 20, 2014 in Bangkok, Thailand. Thai Buddhist youths become a monk as an ideal once in their life and can remain a monk for as long as he wishes, even for just one day but is usually three months. During the day long ordination ceremony the pre-monks are shaved, dressed with robes and asked for a Buddhist commitment. Monks must observe 227 rules which govern their behavior. Taking part of Sangha (the monkhood) in Thailand is an intentional act to make merit, especially for one's parents. (Photo by Borja Sanchez-Trillo/Getty Images)
