Stunningly beautiful pictures. How long do you and the monks meditate on average per day?

Thanks, I would generally allocate a couple of hours every morning to study and meditation, maybe 15-30 minutes actual breathing meditation.
Not really sure what the full saffron robed guys do.
What you eventually get is the principle of mindfullness, where you are mindfull of everything you do, down to every mouthfull of food you eat.
I've always been very interested in the lifestyle of monks, which is why I hope you didn't mind my asking. I'm not sure if I would be up for it though, even though I'm a huge fan of meditation (Zen/Mindfulness) myself, and sit and practice around the same amount of time daily. But the relative seclusion and the things you are learning right now will no doubt change the way you view the world and yourself, and ultimately your whole approach to life. This is something most people often don't get from meditation alone. What a great way to begin an adventure. All the best of luck to you!
Yea thanks for your insights.
Indeed if we allow it to be so, this adventure we call life is quite compelling.
This temple stay chapter actually took place about 4 years ago, and is what began my obssession with the cycletouring modality.
I got a couple more chapters to go till I catch up with the present.
Cheers.
Ok that clears things up. I apologize I must have been reading too many posts. In any case I followed and look forward to reading the rest of your bloggings.
