the world's affairs come to our hands

As a contemplative monastery, we monks, don't go out for trivial matters, like buying newspapers or watching movies. We are isolated from the world. We are locked up in our own world.


Since monks could not reach the world and the affairs of the ordinary, the world and its affairs are better known to us through its print media: periodicals and magazines... This is one way we are able to get connected with the world, know its whats, whos, and hows and whys...


Today being the cook of the community, I am entitled to a sufficient freetime from 2:10pm til 5:00pm.

So, after the main meal, I was able to get enough time to browse and get the world's affairs into my hands. I spent half of an hour reading and taking a look at the latest headlines and latesst issues of the day....
Oh by the way, the community has stopped subscribing from Life Magazine... (tssskkk sayang! LOL)

bwhahahahahahaha--- akala ko gud for a group ..ako siguro pag ganyan ay kukuha na lang ako ng instant noodles and have it for my evening meal nyahahahahah--eh hindi na ako sanay sa nag iisa eh-

yan ang isang drawback ng isang monk na tulad kong matagal ng nasa loob-
hindi na sanay na mag isa= gusto laging nasa grupo ....
