Depends on the type of monk you're going for
>>
I've actually been considering sadhu life for two years. Have considered going to India but eh. Seems impossible to do it in the states. Unless you can find an ashram to live in. But I prefer to wander
>>
I really doubt you want this lifestyle and are just phishing for replies.
>>
dedicate your life to your work

Find the true monk and emulate his style is how it seems to be working but no body knows who he is

Monks are just lazy fucks that contribute nothing to society.

Read Julius Evola. Stay away from Bhuddism, it just repeats itself and offers no insight besides "being present".

>>18842624
no? so your saying taking in orphans and giving them a home is nothing? you think their art of self defense is nothing? you think their ingrained selflessness is nothing? what was the last thing you did for society, past make revenue for your government to turn into debt?

That's step one, after you watch the sun boil dirt into trees and socciety iterate as a fractal, you start learning the ways to affect others free will in order to institute your own.

It's dark arts used for justice, but you only get the tazer once you've been tazed at Max volume.

What country are you in Op? Here in Australia we have monasteries that you work in for 6 hours per day, 5 days per week. In exchange you get free accommodation, free food and all the classes and teaching you could want.

The running joke is that if you stay there for a year you either go crazy or get ordained.

Read Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda, he'll point you in the right direction.

Find a monastery and join.

You didn't hear or smell them? I would think the 5-8 ceremonies throughout the day involving hand cymbals, a "bongo," loads of incense, and a conch shell trumpet would be noticeable from across a street.

Perhaps they don't have a deity there.

If you're saying things like "redpill" you're already hopeless.

>>18840497
It depends on what you mean by monk.
>>
>>18840497
Could you describe in greater detail what it is you're looking for?

Becoming a 'monk' nowadays is usually associated with retreating into a monastic community, seeing as those are far and few between in the western world (those that you'll find may be hybrid schools or lacking in quality) you're more likely to have success as an independent mystic.

Are you fucking serious? Give some order near you a call or look at their website

Christian monasteries are desperately looking for new members

Sit and stare at a wall for 6 hours, everyday for a week, then you'll know if you have what it takes to be a monk.

1. Go to monastery of your choice.
2. Inform yourself about their rules and decide if you want to do it.
3. Become a monk.

No fuck off and die, dipshit.
