Many people have no idea what it would be like to live in a Buddhist monastery. Since you may be curious to learn more about the lives of Buddhist monastics, in this program we present an ordinary day at Ling Jiou Mountain.

You may also be wondering about the benefits of meditation practice and whether the monastic life has any relevance for lay people living in the modern world. Master Hsin Tao stresses that spiritual practice is only effective when it becomes part of our daily lives, such that we bring mindfulness and vigilance to whatever activities we engage in; this is what he refers to as “life Chan.” As such, whatever type of formal practice we may engage in, the purpose is to get in touch with our inherent buddha-nature and make it a part of our daily lives—this is the path leading to buddhahood!

Some people are under the impression that living the life of a Buddhist monastic is as easy as ringing a bell. In fact, every aspect of monastic life is highly regulated and full of solemn etiquette and rituals—even ringing the monastery bell has to be performed in the prescribed manner. The key is to bring concentration and mindfulness to everything we do, such that life and practice become a seamless whole.

Now let’s take a look at a day in the life of the monastic community at the Wusheng Monastery nestled on Ling Jiou Mountain in northeastern Taiwan.
