Chores for myself 😔

Chores for the community 😃

The friar getting hella drunk off that homemade wine when he's done.

I like to imagine myself in a saffron robe while I mow the lawn

Yeah, but do the monks get to listen to podcasts when they're doing chores? Don't think so.

every day i understand better the appeal of becoming a monk

No, they are right. Chores are way more chill when you are choosing to do them instead of having to do them. Being a monk means you effectively are removed from capitlaism and the greater part of physical instrumentality as it relates to life. That's a pretty good deal

Verily, even the Buddha pooped - but it wasn't magic poop.

Shoutout to the Sohei warrior monks, who stayed on their mountains and occasionally came out to completely fuck up everyone around them, including other warrior monasteries, and were ultimately so annoying that multiple rulers went on straight up extermination campaigns against them
