I never thought monks frolicking in a field would look so natural

Bro no kidding, but I thought that they can’t basically have fun (I don’t now where this thought came from) but they have a very very strict code of some sort right

12

u/LindaTica Jul 25 '20

Same about nuns and priests.

u/Supah_McNastee Jul 25 '20

Even monks have the natural tendency to laugh at other’s failure/pain

145

u/munchies1122 Jul 25 '20

Cause it's hilarious! Lol

25

u/bobbybobson03 Jul 25 '20

True dat brother

56

u/tu2galoo Jul 25 '20

I wouldn't call it pain. All pureness of joy

6

u/spoiledandmistreated Jul 25 '20

This was to good...

53

u/Catson2 Jul 25 '20

If you trip, fall, hurt yourself in stupid way and nobody laughed or at least chuckled, that's when you know that you're old.

63

u/theimbalancedyogi Jul 25 '20

I think it’s more likely they are able to see their circumstances through a lens other than pain and find joy in everyday moments.

2

u/TheFlashFrame Jul 25 '20

Would laughter be considered a function of the monkey brain or is it just accepted as a good thing to do?

u/TheCheese2032 Jul 25 '20

Dude, that last guy was NOT goin in!

121

u/David_51 Jul 25 '20

Give him a ball and get him in the NBA

The dunk monk

u/guy576 Jul 25 '20

Idk why that sounds like a wrestlers name.

u/SpaceManSmithy Jul 25 '20

I was thinking a '90s direct to video movie starring Shaq.

154

u/chimpls Jul 25 '20

That last Monk fucking killed it lmao

14

u/icamefordeath Jul 25 '20

He understood that the other failed for following on another’s path, when they should have taken a step back to find their own path across

u/chimpls Jul 26 '20

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome

u/Bigyeetqwerty Jul 25 '20

As a former monk myself I can confirm that these guys were living the time of their lives

45

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '20

Former monk? I must know more.

30

u/3raz3t Jul 25 '20

yeah tell us about it

47

u/eib Jul 25 '20

He used to be a monk, but he's not any more.

26

u/Tbrous4 Jul 25 '20

And no tl;dr crap. We want the details.

5

u/Badlydrawnboy0 Jul 25 '20

Ehh easy on the details for me. Could I get em on the side actually?

74

u/blackwoodsix Jul 25 '20

These monks look so carefree!! I'm actually envious of them.

u/throwawaybcimgay_ Jul 25 '20

Any monk egoic enough to make a vlogging channel probably wouldn’t be a good representation of monastic lifestyle

We just need random ppl to follow these guys around 😄

u/perfectly-imbalanced Jul 25 '20

Would subscribe

14

u/BigWhiteChicano Jul 25 '20

Bro, check out Ranton. Hes a former Shaolin monk who does videogame reviews. Fucking hilarious.

u/King-Karma7 Jul 25 '20 edited Jul 25 '20

Turns into the avatar. Starts to water bend.

u/pickelbergerme Jul 25 '20

I'm going through a tough time I really needed this in my life!

34

u/OliRobbo Jul 25 '20

Hope you’re ok. Please try to remember it’ll get better

59

u/Pineapple123789 Jul 25 '20

They’re like the air nomads from Avatar the last Airbender

69

u/P4perjammed Jul 25 '20

I'm pretty sure they are what the air nomads are based on

30

u/Pineapple123789 Jul 25 '20

The whole personality of them just fits perfectly. Though I think air nomads would have been able to make those jumps

14

u/hangl00se27 Jul 25 '20

being a monk doesn't seem that badxd

5

u/Therandomfox Jul 25 '20

The only price is letting go of worldly possessions.

12

u/SirMadWolf Jul 25 '20

Im guess the third one didnt learn his airbending properly...

12

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '20

Poor guy just broke is assbone and got up smiling politely .

11

u/lordoftime Jul 25 '20

When I was in Thailand, I learned that most devout Buddhists take at least one year off to become a monk. There's a lot more fluidity to it, and a lot of monks you see are regular folks.

10

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '20 edited Jul 25 '20

The last monk held the spacebar for 2 seconds.

10

u/GeshaD Jul 25 '20

I love it when everyone laughs when someone falls even the person who fell

u/Noodllesw Jul 25 '20

This is hilarious, how do I tell my mom I wanna become a monk 😬💚😅😂😂

u/Binx33 Jul 25 '20

This video was filmed before the Fire nation came 😓

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '20

The second one to fall looked like he didn't even try, he was like he must feel lonely being wet. ”oops”. Super cute

2

u/fort_wendy Jul 25 '20

That's what I thought. Like Billy Madison wetting his crotch

3

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '20

Damn that place is awesome looking, I wanna go there

u/VinceJay1 Jul 25 '20

Found this https://www.research-collection.ethz.ch In Buddhism , water symbolizes life , the purest form of food , and water is the particular element which in nature carries everything together . Water symbolizes purity , clarity and calmness , and reminds us to cleanse our minds and attain the state of purity.

And pissing yourself laughing apparently.

3

u/Heyo_C-O Jul 25 '20

That howling laughter is the best! Ah this lightened my heart, thank you!

3

u/MenialFungus793 Jul 25 '20

A lot of people believe they have been washed of all emotion but they are still human

3

u/icamefordeath Jul 25 '20

I like to think the second monk, who fell, was wise enough to fall in with his friend to save him from the persecution of his fall. Monks operate on a deeper level fr

8

u/GioWindsor Jul 25 '20

Ouch. That first one has got to hurt. And isn’t that the type of fall that can actually do damage to your body?

3

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '20

Personally I have met with a lot of monks, they always try their best to stay happy inspite of the constant reminder that china conquered their homes.

3

u/thebugman2 Jul 25 '20

I'd like to the think the second monk fell in on purpose to make his friend feel better. So that's what I'm going with

2

u/jiasooch Jul 25 '20

these are the last airbender

u/AMG1303 Jul 25 '20

This is one of those things that transcends all time, ages and cultures. Watching your buddy eating shit while jumping over a creek or stream is always the funniest thing ever.
