- The life of a Buddhist monk. This concept may be unfamiliar to most around the world.
What do monks do? How do they live? What is is like to live in a monastery?
In this documentary, we take you inside the monastery and give you a little glimpse into our world. We hope you can watch with an open heart and immerse yourself into this experience.
Let go of all expectation and surrender. My hope is that this video brings you a little calm, peace, and tranquility. With that said, welcome to the monk's life. #monks #buddhism #asmr
Thank you to Lp Jeremy and the team at the Pa Pae Meditation Retreat.

Thanks for watching.
How do you find calm and stillness amidst your daily life?
Watching your videos 😊
@@bridgetjagusch8918 thank you
I am working towards this. My life is a train wreck but striving to put the cars back on the track.
Wow, your filming is National Geographic caliber! Thank you for "transporting me" into your world of peace and tranquility.
I love the sounds of different birds chirping in the background, rain/ ⚡, crowing 🐓, bells, sounds of gentle footsteps, water, etc.
The monks seemed calm, happy, and genuinely contended..... all things money can't buy.
Watching your video is what keeps me grounded 👌🏻
Xie-xie, grazie mille, salaam alaikum, arigato, kha-pun-kap, Ven Nick !!!
I was come to my entire life a monk but i don't have money to come Thailand dhammadayada please say any solution please 🙏 I want permanent Buddhist monk in Thailand dhammadayada 🙏 please reply mee 🙏
If more people lived like this what a wonderful world it would be!
Sadhu sadhu 😀😀 thank you so much
Sometimes I think I was a monk in my previous lives, because why I feel so much missing and love towards this monk’s lifestyle? Thank you, dear Nick!
Sadhu sadhu 😊😊 thank you so much natalia
You can be mesilla in thiland,sri Lanka or mayanmar. There are facilities for women mesilla.
"I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures" Lao Tzu
This documentary shows simplicity, patience, and compassion in everyday life.
Beautiful 😀
You have become quite an excellent cinematographer! This video exudes peace and quiet joy! Very calming and inspirational! Thank you for sharing this life with us! With deep appreciation…..🙏🏻
Thank you so much for your kind words 😌😌
How the monks can learn cinematography?
I am just curious about it
It was one of my greatest gift to live there and spending time with monks was enriching!
Life is so simple and still. Thank you so much for having me 🙏.
I'm so grateful and feel fortunate to be a part of the video ♥️
Sadhu sadhu Logan. We hope you can stay with us long 🙂🙂
I am so glad I accidentally saw your video. It really opens up my eyes and mind about the life of a Buddhist monk. Your video has no narration yet it tells a lot about life and its root. I never thought there is such a peaceful place on earth to live in. Even the sound of thunder and rains can calm my mind, not to mention those birds chirping, roosters crowing, sound of waterfalls, flowing water in the streams, breezing of leaves, etc, so peaceful. I feel like be one unity with nature! How lucky you are to be able to live in there! Thank you so much for sharing your monk‘s life. It is a very beautiful clip 👍👍👍
Sadhu sadhu 😀😀 thank you so much and welcome to the channel
@@nickkeomahavong01 you are most welcome 🤗
भबतु सब्ब मंगलम, साधु साधु साधु 🙏🙏🙏☸️☸️☸️☸️☸️☸️☸️
I hope you know how much you help so many of us in the world with your words of wisdom. You have touched me and I have spread the word to everyone I know and they spread it - and on it goes. I have watched everyone of your videos and each one is unique with a different message. Thank you so much for what you do to make the world a better place.
Aww thank you so Jenny for your kind words. I’m very grateful to be able to share our lifestyle with you all. Greetings to you from Thailand. Thank you 😊
@@nickkeomahavong01 beautiful beautiful beautiful 🙏🏻🧡 I love your videos I can feel the peace and stillness within them , can you please share something about female nuns . 🙏🏻
I was going through so much anxiety ..after watching the video I could clearly feel my mind going calm n quiet..😇 Thank you so much Nick 🙏
Sadhu sadhu 😊😊 thank you so much . I’m glad it helped.
At first I wondered why there were no words describing what was going on. But then I realized it was up to me to just watch and see the beauty for myself. Thank you.
Wonderful Joan 😀😀
To all the dreamers out there, don't ever let the world's negativity disenchant you or your spirit. If you surround yourself with love and right people, ANYTHING is possible. 🙏🖤
😀😀
"don't let the worlds negativity" There is no negativity in the real world. It is the "human" world society and culture that is negative. Monks have essentially left human society for this reason. The 🌎 world, universe and everything apart from 97% of humans are living in balance with nature.
One of my favorite sounds is the thunder and the rain...Birds in the background just add to the beautiful ambience 😊 🙏🏻☮️
Thank you and I love the thunder sound also. It’s so peaceful 😃
I must say good shoot. 👌👌👌really Following Buddha's teachings itself makes person calm, peaceful. One feels he/she has received hidden treasure which will never deplete.. Everywhere one finds purity, positivity, serenity.. This is real life without any illusion & delusion.. As it is! Reality! TATHAGAT 🙏💐 lots of Metta to you all kind people 🌼🌸🌷🌺
Sadhu sadhu 🙂🙂 thank you so much
Your 'Monk's Life' videos are so inspirational. Keep them up!
Sadhu sadhu 😀😀 thank you so much
Gorgeous nature around, praying, connecting with Earth, peaceful, brotherhood, clear mind and meditation, reading, schedule, everyday routine, bells, no stress, no stupid ambitions of the world.
😊😊
When you see them smile.. it is a true, full of happiness smile. I can feel their joy through this. Truly, Thank you for making this.
Sadhu sadhu 😀😀 thank you so much
Thailand is beautiful, and the people their are beautiful. Best wishes from the United States 🇺🇸
Sadhu sadhu 🙂🙂 thank you so much
I find calm and stillness by being in my apartment and resisting the urge to turn on anything ….just be and enjoy the silence with a cup of tea and watch the clouds roll by.
Wonderful. That sounds very peaceful :-)
I have been battling with anxiety lately. I was sorrounded by the noise of expectations etc. My mind was filled with unecessary thoughts that give me a hard time sleeping at night. But then I stambled with one of your videos and it makes me relax for a little while. Thank you so much.
My pleasure! sadhu sadhu. thank you so much! i'm glad it's helpful.
Thank you for all your videos, dear Nick. I cant express how much it helps to live through these dark years. Much love.
Wow .. thank you so much monk Nick ✨💫.. extremely relaxing and calming. ❤️🎉
You’re welcome yogika. Thank you so much 😊
Ohh the sound of those birds …so nice
Thank you 😊
Thank you so much Nick for sharing a little of your calm and peaceful life with us, it means so much
You’re welcome sue. Thank you 😊
I’m so greatful that you’re able to share this life with the world. Thank you.
Sadhu sadhu 🙂🙂 thank you so much
I loved it when the lady put a small bunch of flowers in the bowl. Such a calming video. Lovely way to begin my Saturday. Thank you for sharing 🙏
Sadhu sadhu 😀😀 thank you so much
The video is so soothing and calming! It relaxes me so much that I feel better just by looking at it. I’m so used to the chaos of city/town living that I forget what it means to be by myself with my feelings/thoughts & nature. I wish I could obtain inner peace, comfort, and ease amidst busy work life. Everything about my work makes me so anxious, stressed, uneasy, and even depressed that I struggle to pay attention to my own needs & how I feel inside. I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way, and that many people (including me) are so unhappy with how the world is built and the unhealthy lifestyles that it leads people towards
I’m glad the video helps to bring you some calm. Sadhu sadhu
Beautiful Nick. What serenity. I’m lifted higher because of your work. Thank you.
Sadhu sadhu 😀😀 thank you so much
This was such a beautiful video. It showed caring, kindness, love, and the appreciation of all the small things in life that make people so content. I wish the rest of the world can learn from this.
Sadhu sadhu 😀😀 thank you so much paul

Wow Ven. Nick this has to be your best filming yet. Gorgeous snippets of nature at it's best, and interesting angles. The message of course truly inspirational as always. Keep up the wonderful work. I hope you are enjoying your time on Samui. Sadhu 🙏💜
Sadhu sadhu 😀😀 thank you so much Helen
Thank you for the videos, especially this one, the quality of this film is just fantastic.
Sadhu sadhu 😀😀 thank you so much mark
I live in a semi-arid region of Brazil, I'm a theravadin layman and when it's raining here, I use rainwater to wash dishes, shower and other things, that monk used a lot of water just to wash his shaver even though it was raining, a big waste, he needs to learn that in Buddhism there is also awareness of preserving natural resources and using them rationally.
Close your eyes, listen to the sound, listen to the rain, listen to the birds, it is such a beautiful guided meditation through the sounds, it makes you so calm. Thank you ❣️
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it 😄
Thailand is a good country in providing alms funds to shanga monks, and its people are devout Buddhists🙏😌
This is amazing work! Thank you!

Oh the power of silence! Thank you very much!
Thank u for sharing god blessed you🙏
You’re welcome ☺️ thank you
So peaceful.
The natural sounds of the birds, rain, bell, chicken, and the chanting are so relaxing.
So nice to see people Offering a lot of food for the monks in the morning.
I wonder what you do with the left over food, if any ( I heard that monks are not allowed to store food. Is that right? )
Your video has inspired me to try to practice mindfulness with daily activities and try to adopt some minimalist life style.
Thank you. Sathu🙏
For the leftover foods, it depends! There are several vihara's where I live, the one I went to, they collected the food and placed them on a big dining table, the monks would only take a plate full and the rest is for the workers in the temple, on special occasions we'd all share it like a buffet (but being mindful that others get their share)
Thank you so much for peace your wisdom brought in my life. Thank you for your videos. Its been such a pleasure for my soul. I bought your book. Reached page 22. Very helpful. Thank you so much. God bless you all.
Wonderful. Thank you so much my friend. Hope you enjoy it 😀
Nick, your videography is really good 👍
Thank you so much Andrew 😊
Thank you venerable Nick and your brother Jeremy, the documentary breaths calm, effort, perstistence, adaptation and decisiveness.
In my everyday life I kind of do similar, walks in nature(sometimes I take lemons from the trees of the street 😊) much more better from the supermarket😊😊, time beeing alone, reading and visits at the library, meditation, cleaning my space, volunteering for stray animals, we are all interconnected as energies. ☯️
I hope you are all well, and may I suggest a topic? If one day you could share the Monastery wisdom about hard competition and the competitive spirit among humans 🌈☯️sadhu, thank you🍋🍊
Wonderful and thank you so much for the suggestion.
Calmness of a monk is what I need
Thank you for this video
My pleasure 😊
