Oh, this I heard about a monk this morning: Someone I know frequents a monastery in the mountain, doing voluntary work like trimming the plants that grow there. When a monk saw the trimmed plants, he had said that he would like the plants to grow naturally. Then, I imagine the plants to grow tall, big and unkempt. People who visit the monastery may wonder why the plants have not been trimmed and who's the lazy guy responsible. And then I thought too - some monks are probably still attached to the mundane world. Why then would trimmed plants attract their attention?
