A monk (from Greek: μοναχός, monachos, "single, solitary" and Latin monachus) is a person who practices religious asceticism, living either alone or with any number of other monks. A monk may be a person who decided to dedicate his life to serving all other living beings, or to be an ascetic who voluntarily chooses to leave mainstream society and live his life in prayer and contemplation. The concept is ancient and can be seen in many religions and in philosophy.
In the Greek language the term can apply to women, but in modern English it is mainly in use for men. The word nun is typically used for female monastics.
Although the term monachos is of Christian origin, in the English language "monk" tends to be used loosely also for both male and female ascetics from other religious or philosophical backgrounds. However, being generic, it is not interchangeable with terms that denote particular kinds of monk, such as friar, cenobite, hermit, anchorite, hesychast, or solitary.

Plot: Boy Called Twist is the harrowing tale of a South African street-kid's search for love, based on Charles Dickens' classic Oliver Twist. Growing up neglected in a rural orphanage, Twist escapes to the unpredictable freedom of Cape Town, where he falls in with Fagin's gang of street urchins. With a gritty honesty steeped in its vibrant characters, Boy called Twist superbly captures the contemporary equivalents of Dickens' seedy individuals as it shadows the timeless tale in its own inimitable style.

Enjoy this video to relax your mind and body. In Buddhism, chanting is the traditional means of preparing the mind for meditation, especially as part of formal practice (in either a lay or monastic context). Some forms of Buddhism also use chanting for ritualistic purposes. While the basis for most Theravada chants is the Pali Canon, Mahayana and Vajrayana chants draw from a wider range of sources.

Three monks got involved in a fight at the Ningguo temple, in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, on April 24. According to thepaper.cn, the monks are all mid-level managers at the temple. The video shows several monks and tourists trying to stop the fighters in front of the temple. The head monk of the Ningguo temple has dismissed all three monks, and said, “We insist on [following] the principal of quality over quantity,” over Wechat, a Chinese social media platform. The head monk added that they broke the principle of Buddhism and set a bad example for society. The video has gone viral and led to a heated discussion. @Adolph said, “Some of the monks in the temple nowadays are not sincerely Buddhism converts. Many normal people are more religious than monks.” Some monks have proven to be fraud...
Mountain Monks is a docu-travelogue produced and filmed in the Eastern Himalayas by Vasudeva Joly for BhakTV. Mountain Monks takes a candid look at the many similarities between two monastic traditions of Tibet and India, as seen in Lamaist Buddhism and Vaishnava Hinduism. The first half-hour of the film is set in Darjeeling and the scenic foothills of North Bengal. The second half-hour starts in Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim. In the surrounding mountains Vasudeva interviews a young lama at the ancient Rumtek Monastery, and takes us on a scary ride up a steep mountain road that was destroyed by a 6.9 earthquake in 2011. Finally we come to to the glacial Changghu Lake, 3,780 meters above sea level at the Tibetan border. The travelogue ends in an unplanned but peaceful encounter with a Hima...

Girls, they're just a waste of time
I buy them drinks all night
But just get out my mind
Everytime I take one home
They only use my phone
I ain't got one my own
Well, life is rough for an adolescent tough
Even when you're good looking like me
I wouldn't say no to a little bit of stuff
No, not many
'Cause I ain't gettin' any
Joe, he ain't no Romeo
Thease dollies come and go
What's he got, I don't know
Once I brought this tasty chick
I thought, "Now this is it"
She said, "I'm feeling sick."
Well, life is rough for an adolescent tough
Even when you're good looking like me
I wouldn't say no to a little bit of stuff
No, not many
'Cause I ain't gettin' any
Aurrgh, I think I'll play some guitar...
Sounds good, doesn't it.
Well, life is rough for an adolescent tough
Even when you're good looking like me
I wouldn't say no to a little bit of stuff
No, not many
'Cause I ain't gettin' any
Bought myself this flash coupé
I cruised around all day
And it got towed away
Took this bird out to a show
We had the whole back row
She kept on sayin' no, no, NO!
Well, life is rough for an adolescent tough
Even when you're good looking like me
I wouldn't say no to a little bit of stuff
No, not many
'Cause I ain't gettin' any
I ain't gettin' much
I ain't gettin' any
I ain't gettin' much
I ain't gettin' any
I ain't gettin' much
