Bhikshu

A bhikkhu (Pali: भिक्खु, Sanskrit: भिक्षु, bhikṣu) is an ordained male in Buddhist monasticism. Male and female monastics ("nun", bhikkhunī, Sanskrit bhikṣuṇī) are members of the Sangha (Buddhist community).The lives of all Buddhist monastics are governed by a set of rules called the prātimokṣa or pātimokkha. Their lifestyles are shaped to support their spiritual practice: to live a simple and meditative life and attain nirvana.A person under the age of 20 cannot be ordained as a bhikkhu or bhikkhuni but can be ordained as a śrāmaṇera or śrāmaṇērī. more »

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Caged, boxed, I am my body, a spectacle of flesh
Inviting your gaze, to make me exist
Recognition, I am a slave
I suffer my life until I transcend this plane

I bend my limbs beyond their breaking point
Contorting your field of perception

I am always already grotesque
Captivating, enthralling spectacle
I'll contort my body in ways yours cannot bend
And invite you to witness my end

Disfigured husk in a monadic cell
There is no place from which I am not seen
My only access to the world-flesh
Where every lust is unrequited

Battered, broken, bleeding
Recognised, I am the master

Suffering is my aesthetic
I am free to choose

Splintering bone, severing sinew
Sanguine work of the self

Suffering is my aesthetic
I am free to choose only my public pain

I am always already grotesque
Captivating, enthralling spectacle
Acrobatic, I will surmount this life
I will climb, I will walk higher, higher
