@johnxantoro5511 4 года назад

Not to take anything away from the tremendous accomplishments of the monks but having discipline, like waking up early or exercising consistently is a much, much easier (or let's say: more probable) when you are in such an environment. You would follow your diet, if everybody around you did as well and if not following it would mean paying an immense cost (like having to leave your family).

I'm Malay and I can't fully comprehend some Malay texts that date a mere 500 years ago, and I won't even be able to read it if it's from a different region of the Nusantara, so just imagine a Chinese trying to understand their "mother tongue" from about _2000 years_ ago.
