I'm a monk and a monk doesn't go out without his robes! In Thailad, most Buddhist schoolboys become monks for a yaer. A monk lives with almmost no possessions. Amonk lives in a monastery and he is supposed to wear orange robes7 A monk doesn't wear or T-shirts. It's against the rules to have jewellery and mobile phones in the monastery, but we are allowed to have some family photos.My only other possessions are a bol, a cup, sandalsand umbrella. Every day, very early in the morning, we wolk around the streets with our bowls and people give us food.Why? We aren't supposed to have money, so we can't buy food.
