The Daily Schedule of a Buddhist Monk

This is a schedule that I found on the internet of the schedule of a Buddhist monk. Just try to imagine yourself in the Monks’ places.

The usual daily routine of the monks is:

1. 5.45 Wake-up Bell

2. 6.00 to 7.00 Morning Prayer (Puja [prayer] in the prayer hall with breakfast)

3. 7.30 to 9.00 Recitation and memorizing of the prayer/ritual texts

4. 9.00 to 10.00 Tibetan Language Class

5. 10.00 to 11.00 English Language Class

6. 11.30 to 13.00 Lunch Break

7. 13.00 to 14.00 Tibetan Language Class

8. 14.00 to 15.00 Revision of the day’s lesson

9. 15.00 Tea Break

10. 15.00 to 17.00 Revision of recitation and memorization of the prayer/ritual texts
