Road to Nirvana. Becoming a Buddhist Monk 16.jpg
A monk talks to a woman in a monastery, next to a statue of the Buddha. Generosity towards other sentient beings is greatly emphasised in Buddhism. Monks preside over the important events in a person's life. They bless births, consecrate weddings, interpret the future, cure sickness and cremate the dead.
