At which the "head monk" replied "you complain to much".

I have to figure out what a Hipmonk is before I can understand what they do.

Well, you can, but that is like saying "Wudang Kung Fu".There are definitely "Taoist monks".

"i don't have friends because i live like platonic monk hermit for last decade"This guy clearly needs some people skills.

Is pg supposed to give up all his worldly goals and possessions and live as some sort of equality monk?

At several points, Taoist monks cultivated within the same spaces as Buddhist monks.

I first misread the HN link's title as "gamma rays" and thought a radioactive monk sounded awesome!

If you didn't see it last week, the "A Buddhist monk confronts Japan’s suicide culture" post from last week is a really great read.

Programming is as exciting as ever!Three years ago, I was kidnapped by monkeys, who appeared to be in a trance.

However, once a year the monks were allowed to utter a single word to the "head monk"...my Godfather chose the following year 1: "Bed", year 2: "is" and year 3: "Hard".

As a monk translated the wishes of the holy monkeys, I discovered that I was required to rewrite the OS of their ancient computer, which had failed to reboot, back in 1839.

If these ideas interest you, a good book to pick up is "The Mountain of Silence," in which an anthropologist visits Orthodox monasteries in Greece to try and understand these things, under the tutelage of a monk.

There's quite a lot of walking involved in the homeless monk's life, as well, as many monks undertake a training rule to abstain from the use of vehicles, undertake a rule to collect food on an alms walk, and may just simply enjoy traveling.

He engaged a monk or other scribe to produce a book filled with wondrous and curious illustrations from multiple sciences, and a text that nobody could read, which he could tell his customers was the source of whatever great Eastern wisdom he wanted.

They, the Zen monks, and others involved in philosophical and spiritual traditions, tend to share appreciation for walking forms of meditation, or a love of "pointless" walking, which is meant to foster a more concentrated state of awareness.
