the monks

ben
What I admire most about the monks is their dedication to whatever they are doing.

Two days ago, I was given the chance to speak in their midst, not to propagate my beliefs, but to teach them a language. There I had seen how fervent they were  in their devotion to their lord. There I had witnessed how ardent they were in the path they  have chosen to follow. I asked what is their ultimate goal why they want to enter into monkhood and they said, "To attain supreme happiness in life."

How much dedication do we have in order to achieve happiness? How impassioned are we in hitting the end point of our journey?
