Currently, six nuns, ranging from newly ordained nuns to those in the main room preparing for ordination, are training to become monks. These nuns, each with their own professional backgrounds in the secular world... It's not easy to perform both Buddhist services and sutra study while also doing farm work, kitchen work, and cleaning bathrooms with hands that were once used to holding a fan. However, those who have chosen the path of monkhood are pouring their whole heart into the practice of becoming a monk. ▶ The Asceticism of Forgetting Afflictions Inseong, who found no joy in anything he did, came to the temple and decided to become a monk. Taekyung, who became a monk to relieve the emptiness in his heart caused by the death of his younger brother. Hye-neung, a monk who had longed to become a monk since his teens, is only now entering the world due to academic and age restrictions. While their motivations for becoming monks differ, their dedication to forsaking their afflictions through arduous ascetic practice remains constant. ▶ On the day of the test, which required them to recite the "Initial Aspiration Sutra," only two of the six monks passed. The rest, unable to study due to the constant dawn prayers and grueling wailing, were unable to even speak. Finally, that night, all six were punished with the "1,000 Prostrations." This was the punishment they had promised to receive if even one of them failed. After completing the 1,000 prostrations over three hours, the monks found themselves shedding tears incessantly. These tears were not from physical pain, but from repentance for their own laziness. ※ This video is from [Field Report, Zone 3 - 6 Female Buddhist Monks Meet the Buddha], which aired on May 25, 2004. #Practice #Repentance #Monk This is the official KBS Documentary channel.
