early, at 5 am. After
waking up, they gather,
sing sutras and meditate.
At 6 o’clock it’s breakfast
time, and while breakfast
is going on, it’s not
supposed to talk. After
the meal, both monks
and novices go to train
before the lunchtime.

At 2 p.m., everyone takes a
break for lunch. After lunch,
novices do some work in the
monastery, after which they
can study books and lessons.
So the time passes until
dinner.
Before dinner, everyone gets
together again for evening
chants, and only after that
they start eating. The food in
