This young monk is deeply devoted to his practice. He carries a stone Buddha on his back wherever he goes, and people often hear him calling out "Master! Master!" to it—his voice has an oddly musical quality when he does. He's genuinely kindhearted and just doesn't care much about the everyday stuff that preoccupies most people.
Like all monks, he follows the precepts: no alcohol, no meat, no indulging in worldly desires. But here's the thing—he actually seems content living that way, not like he's white-knuckling through some sacrifice. Fans often note that he embodies what Buddhists mean when they talk about true strength coming from the absence of craving.
