Video - Unveiling Buddhism: Ancient Wisdom, Quirky Facts, and Extreme Monk Practices!

Did you know that Buddhism was founded over 2,500 years ago by Siddhartha Gautama, also known as the Buddha?

One quirky fact: monks shave their heads not just for simplicity, but also to symbolize renunciation of worldly pleasures.

They follow a strict diet and meditation routine to literally turn themselves into mummies while still alive. Talk about dedication! So, do you think you could handle the monk lifestyle?
