<p>What would the monk be accepting? The monk would likely accept walking around the pin. A well practiced monk knows the appropriate path isn't always the intended path.

<p>A Monk trains himself in <em>sila (moral discipline)</em>, which includes not intentionally hurting living beings. Since he himself is a living being, he should respect and protect his life as he would others. </p>

<p>I read about Buddhism where I came to know, we learn to see everything from bare prospect and don't judge anything. And a random thing came to my mind: I even read that pain is seen as pain and nothing more, no bad or good feeling towards pain.</p>

<p>So suppose a Monk happens to see a pin in his path:</p>

<ul>
<li>Will he step on it and accept pain, and think of pain as pain and detach from its feeling?</li>
<li>Or, would he judge the pin which will cause pain and move away?</li>
</ul>

<p>Moving away shows that he knows its bad to step on the pin.</p>

<p>This was just a question which came to my mind. I don't mean any offence, literally I have no idea of it.</p>

I read about Buddhism where I came to know, we learn to see everything from bare prospect and don't judge anything. And a random thing came to my mind: I even read that pain is seen as pain and nothing more, no bad or good feeling towards pain.

So suppose a Monk happens to see a pin in his path:

* Will he step on it and accept pain, and think of pain as pain and detach from its feeling?
* Or, would he judge the pin which will cause pain and move away?

Moving away shows that he knows its bad to step on the pin.

This was just a question which came to my mind. I don't mean any offence, literally I have no idea of it.

A Monk trains himself in *sila (moral discipline)*, which includes not intentionally hurting living beings. Since he himself is a living being, he should respect and protect his life as he would others.
