สรุปเนื้อหา
In Buddhism, before taking ordination, monks were once laypeople. They view lay life as filled with burdens that hinder understanding of Dhamma. Engaging in daily life leads to temporary pleasures, akin to satisfying hunger but brief. Monks find true happiness in meditation, which far exceeds worldly pleasures, thus choosing celibacy to pursue enlightenment. The shift from worldly pursuits to spiritual happiness is a fundamental aspect of their practice. For monks, meditation is the key to attaining lasting fulfillment, making the sacrifices of lay life worthwhile. Explore the deeper meanings of happiness and the avoidance of sensuality in the monk's journey towards enlightenment at dmc.tv.

: One thing you have to bear in mind is that before
leading a life in priesthood, all Buddhist monks were
once ordinary laypeople. But they consider the lives of
laypeople full of burdens and responsibilities which
prevent them from gaining insights about the truth of
life and Dhamma. Laypeople busy their lives with
earning money, family matters and daily problems. To
avoid all these life fetters, one needs to get ordained
which will help them achieve the goal of
enlightenment. Sensual pleasure is considered
temporary happiness which lasts for a short period.
This kind of pleasure is compared with having a
meal. Our hunger will be relieved for a short while and
we have to satisfy our needs again in the next meal.
Buddhist monks consider happiness from meditation
to exceed worldly happiness. Meditation generates true
happiness which cannot be found elsewhere. For
the sake of this true happiness, monks choose to turn
their back on worldly pleasures and practice celibacy.
