Daily Life of a Zen Monk

Yesterday's presentation of the Zen Center was very interesting and inspiring. I was always obsessed and curious with Zen culture since I was little, having watched so many Asian movies with my uncle. Probably the main thing that interests me is their simple way of life. In an age where technology and worldly pleasures dominates, they choose to reject it all. Someday I hope to experience such a simple way of life even if it's for a short period of time. Coming from a very strict and traditional family, I find that I would align perfectly with their many practices of discipline. I found a short video entitled "A Day in the Life of a Zen Monk" that gives a brief insight on the daily life of Zen monks.
