■ A Day in the Life of Tongdosa Monks Uncheon, a 50-year-old late-blooming monk, is in charge of cooking, which is said to be the hardest part of the offering room. He said that although he had earned a lot of money outside, his life was always hard on his mind, but now he is physically tired but has found happiness in his mind. Gwangbeop, a 29-year-old monk, who came to Tongdosa after asking for forgiveness from his girlfriend on his last date the day before he became a monk, and Sangji, a 27-year-old monk who decided to become a monk because he hated his double-faced self of pretending to be happy in front of people, Geummyeong, a 35-year-old monk who became a monk to atone for his guilt for causing his parents so much pain and driving his father to death when he was young, and Ilhae, a 25-year-old monk who became the class president at the youngest age, share their stories. We meet the stories of monks who used to live in society with their heads but now live in a temple where they feel and realize things with their bodies. ■ Becoming a Sanmunin (山門人) In the solemn atmosphere of the Mandeokjeon Hall of Jikjisa Temple, 85 male and female monks wearing brown and orange monk's robes are clearly tense. The physical examination of the monks who have completed six months of monk life at each temple has begun. It is a kind of physical examination, and only if all the monks on the examination committee agree to pass is they passed. Then, starting with the Gobulsik (entrance ceremony), they begin the first 15-day intensive training to take the first step as a prospective monk. The training for monk's ordination, such as the sutra and precepts classes, daily bows, Balwoo offerings, Manuijeom-an (Gaasajeom-an ceremony), and the 5th level monk's examination, is the training to become qualified as a monk. It is a pledge to never forget the true meaning of Buddhism, that 'I suffer because all living beings suffer', and to realize with utmost and courageous diligence that there is no difference between the mind, Buddha, and living beings, and that enlightenment and defilements are no different. In this way, we take a look at the turbulent training site of prospective monks centered around the monks of Tongdosa Temple, and closely report on the process of being reborn as a monk through the arduous efforts of letting go of greed and humbling oneself. ■ Asking about happiness on the path of a 'unsu napja' On the first day of finally changing from the brown monk's robe to an ink-colored monk's robe, Uncheon was the first to offer a prayer to the Buddha alone. Geummyeong, Ilhae, and Gwangbeop have entered the path of a monk in earnest as first-year monks at Tongdosa Temple. Sangji, who is preparing to enter Dongguk University next year, is reflecting on the path of a monk once again with 14 young monks. Let's hear about the happiness they have found right now. ※ This video is [Special - Leaving Home, Why They Went to a Mountain Temple] that aired on May 14, 2016. #practice #monk #jikjisa ✔ Documentary is by KBS KBS Documentary Official Channel ???? ✔ Subscribe to KBS Documentary ➡️ / @kbsdocumentary The current situation and content may differ slightly depending on the time of video broadcast.
