"Came for the food, stayed for the Vibe" - Monke

[angeldelgado]

That was a monk who achieved the highest form of enlightenment. He returned to Monke.

[jchock]

He came for the food but also paid his respects for the ceremony. Smart monkey.

[vaasupokzz]

Bro is tooo decent and discipline that he even walks and eat politely than humans .😅😂😊

[cjstryder]

As soon as the chants began the monkey was like, "and on that note, it's time to eat"

[yurp]

Their hand restin on the monk's knee like, 'I like yall energy. What we doin?'

[hikareti]

I love how the monkey is casually leaning on the monks leg

[teahgurl]

He didn’t want to be rude by just going over to the food so he figured he’d partake a little bit before heading over 😂😂😂

[CoreyJohnson]

He politely sat there so he could get some food. That's just amazing.

[sabretooth]

Well at least he pays his respects before he eats.

That monkey was like: "I heard that there was free food here. Where is it? I'll wait...Oh, there it is...I see it. I'm gonna help myself now. Keep the faith fellas!"

[BB-TheCandleFairy]

This is his second run through of being a monk

[SheepPersonel]

“Meditate?! I’m only here for the snacks 😅”

-Monkey

[Skorpia]

He has more manners than most people. Said "hi" sat and listened . THEN went for the food. 😂

[flashthompson]

That’s beautiful to see a monkey behave respectfully and graceful.

[mallurajesh]

Thats why i love buddha. His teachings make a human so peaceful that even animals feel safe around buddha disciples. Buddha greatest teaching is love

[jayr]

This monkey is so fluffy. His table etiquette is commendable.

[trickester]

He attended the ceremony and left after the food. On point

[rajkumarlakra]

I liked how he didn't rush to the food, calmly walked and waited.

[jukeman]

That monkey got more social skills than most people
