We know that the ultimate goal of a Buddhist monk is to achieve the highest level of enlightenment. I would argue the best thing about being a monk is do cool monk stuff, like walking on walls and busting up stone with your bare hands. Sure, meditation is good for inner strength and all that. But these are a bunch of monks doing the awesome things we would do if we had monk super powers.

Doesn’t that look fun? If only being a monk didn’t also involve sitting still for long periods of time, living off of charity, taking a vow of chastity, shaving one’s head and wearing a gaudy shade of orange at all times. I’d totally be on board with this if I could stray from the rules a bit.
