What do you think about being a monk and smoking a cigarette?

@Matt85 I also used to smoke a lot. Cigarettes, not weed.

@GuyWithOpinions Although one of the main factors of being a monk is controlling one's senses, especially vices. And yes, there are some exceptional cases.

@IndophileIndian i think having emotional and sensual control helps you care less of the opinions of other so as a monk i would be seeking to live and enjoy life to the fullest knowing i have conquered my self. Id want to experience all sides of life but have the will power to not fall too deep into the chaos of society.

@Raaii Ah that's a good decision. It's wise for you to be ignorant about this topic. Stay healthy !

@IndophileIndian [c=800000] sorry [/c]

@Raaii Oh Common, it's totally fine. 👍🏽

@Lostpoet A logical thought. And it's quite natural to doubt their authenticity.

@WandererTony Lol, and still they're " monks " eh!

@thinkingoutloud To find it, you should visit the magical land of India. Some things are better kept as secrets.

@IndophileIndian I like having an idea. I'd rather not go blind.

@thinkingoutloud Well, to my knowledge, the Aghori Sadhus hold the key to your curiosity. But I must say that it will not be a casual backpacker adventure but rather a life-changing event.

@ABCDEF7 Yes, I think that subduing the negative aspects of one's character is a major yogic trait.

@Lostpoet Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu

@WhateverWorks I second that

@thewindupbirdchronicles It has to be thought about.

@allygator18 I think that's still better than some other so called " civilized monkey business ".
