Bald Mnks

My favorite enrichment workshop was when we observed the bald draped Buddhist monks pour sand into little slits of a wooden slab that in time ended up a very majestic symbol. This workshop was very interesting. Before seeing this workshop I always perceived Buddhist monks as big fat bald people in robes that just chill around a temple and pray do karate and hum. However, when I attended this workshop I saw that I was partially right about my hypothesis. I thought that Buddhist monks were bald and wore robes and I was correct, but I also thought that they were all fat and never left the temple and that is where I was wrong. This experience resonated with me because there was no other place that I know that I would be able to find and observe Buddhist monks the way I did there. Finally, seeing the Buddhist monk has inspired me to research Buddhist monks and maybe one day visit a monk temple and maybe become a nice bald Buddhist monk. Finally, seeing the buddhist monks in action really made me think that people can be so peaceful and just mind their own business and seeing that impacted me into thinking about being a tiny bit more respectful and just a tiny bit less loud.
