‘Boy I’m glad I’m not a monk.’

This thought came to mind after my first sunrise alms round accompanying the barefoot monks from the wat where I was staying as part of a unique temple stay programme.   Not because of getting up pre-dawn every day (I’d like that part) and not because of having to shave off my hair and eyebrows.  Not even because of having to forgo any form of sexual pleasure and follow 226 other ‘precepts’ or rules for everyday living.
