A New Beginning | Buddhist Monk Hair Shaving

A New Beginning | Buddhist Monk Hair Shaving

To become a Buddhist monk, one must begin the process of letting go. A ceremony that he participates in is the hair shaving ceremony. This hair shaving ceremony is witnessed by his friends, family, and community. Shaving of the hair is symbolic of detaching and letting go and announcing that one is taking the vow to become a monk. People come to join to rejoice in the merit and to show their support. This video gives you an intimate and emotional look into this beautiful ceremony. I hope you enjoy. #buddhistmonk #monks #buddhism

Shaving away attachments. Beautifully recorded Venerable Nick. I'm in tears here. Sacred episode... again. Blessings dear friend.

Saw one of your shaving ceremony videos before, I remember everyone was so happy at the ceremony. This year’s is no different, everyone was joyful there. I’m still very touching to see this, I admire one’s determination of letting go of the material world and go deeper to discover the path within! Thank you so much for sharing again! 🙏💕

Namo Buddhay !
Buddha said that Giving hair is like surrender of yourself, your ego infront of Buddha & Dhamma. It means you have left nothing from past only present is there which will go with Buddha & Dhamma..
It is very nice & holly concept from Buddha's teachings... Nothing can be so pure, true (sacca) & holly other than Dhamma.. Transparent yet real.

METTA all dear being !

This is amazing and challenges me a great deal.
I just shaved my dread locks
To be honest, it was a really huge step for me because I am learning to be detached.
Sending each one of you love.

Hi Nick! It's great to hear from you! What a beautiful video! I love it! As you know I've been following you for some time now. I have applied so much of your advice to my life and it has affected me in a very positive way. What you've done for yourself and what you are doing for me (and so many others I'm sure) is nothing short of amazing! Your videos always seem to come at the perfect time for me and the content is typically SO relevant to me at that time as well. Thank you for always thinking about us and sharing everything that you do! 👍♥️🙏
