BUDDHIST MONKS LIVE

 NEWS 12 LIFE-CHANGING RULES BUDDHIST MONKS LIVE BY SPIRIT SCIENCE  What is your impression of the day-to-day of a Buddhist monk? Your visualization may make it appear that the monk-life is a vast departure from modern society, and you’d be pretty close to the truth. However, we can draw inspiration from the way they live their lives. If you are looking to bring more mindfulness and peace to your days, then we can look to these simple Zen Buddhist-inspired rules to live by, no matter what your spirituality or religion. One Thing At A Time. Take steps, rather than multi-tasking. For example: when eating, just eat. When bathing, just bathe. “When walking, walk. When eating, eat.” – Zen proverb. Slow and Steady Wins The Race Now that you’re doing one thing at a time, don’t rush it. Instead, take your time, move slowly, and act deliberately. Focusing like this is surprisingly difficult for someone used to rushing around doing a million things at once. Practice makes perfect, though. Follow Through. You’re doing one task slowly and deliberately, now make sure you follow through and finish it before moving on to the next. If it is impossible, at least try to put away and clean up the unfinished task so that it doesn’t interfere with your next movements. Do Less.
