A priest is equivalent to a Chinese monk.

The word monk is originally a transliteration from Indian Sanskrit and means "teacher". It refers to a teacher who is qualified to lead and guide us in our studies. This is called a monk and our teacher. It’s almost the same, but it’s a higher level than what the teacher meant. Therefore, a monk is not necessarily a monk, nor can anyone call him a monk.

Monk's work content:

Eat fasting and chant Buddha's name, practice Qingdeng ancient scrolls every day to cultivate one's character. In addition to doing morning and evening classes, uposatha chanting and precepts, he also has to do a lot of physical exertion. labor. Monks pay attention to being calm and free from desires. They do these things for the sake of the temple and for their own transcendence.

Real monks are relatively regular, poor and hardworking in temples. Usually they get up very early, around four in the morning. After getting up, I start doing morning prayers, usually chanting sutras. After chanting sutras comes the meeting, which is what we call eating in daily life. They insist on not eating after lunch, that is, they only eat two meals a day.
