[quote=LEONARDO,301313]"The Oriental philosophy of contemplation involves forsaking all work". Yup, Yinduffy. Since the ancient China, a lot of intellectuals have lived in seclusion in order to have a better contemplation on life. They were dubbed as hermits and wern not be held in high regard. How do modern Chinese view those who enter monastaries? In modern China, those who enter monasteries are still not be held in high regard. The average people think the hermits (nuns and monks) are a group of people who wants to escape from the reality. Though they claim they see through the earthly impurities, the majority of average Chinese thinks that they are "wounded people" who are too cowardly to face up to the reality. Somehow, different people have the freedom choose their lifestyles.[/quote]
