Monks and Nuns...
Monks and nuns are revolutionaries.
They cherish a great aspiration in their hearts, and that is how they have the strength to cut the net of worldly attachments.
They go forth from family life to enter the path of the Buddha, and they aspire to love and help everyone, not just one person.
Monks and nuns cherish their freedom so they can be a source of happiness for many people.
Seeing how much entanglement and suffering there is in this world, they feel compassion and want to help people who are suffering.
-Thich Nhat Hanh from 'Stepping Into Freedom'
