Source – Pictures of a monk hunk so muscular he’s bursting out of his robes have gone viral in Thailand.
The identity of the buff Buddhist, who was photographed in the humble orange attire of the Southeast Asian country’s monastic order, is not known.
But while he might have signed up for a life of contemplating existence, tens of thousands of ogling social media users are happy simply to contemplate him. …
Alongside his admirers, however, have been those keen to criticise the big man for his perceived vanity.
Monks should spend their time dwelling on the nature of the universe, their argument goes, rather than trying to grow their biceps.
Holy shit. Do you smell what The Monk is cooking? It doesn’t matter what church you go to or by what name you call your god, it’s always a cruel trick of fate when a man of the cloth ends up with superhuman good looks. Of course, this presumes Thailand’s Buddhist monks are celibate. Everything I know about Buddhist clergy I learned from Ace Ventura 2 and Carl Spackler’s Dalai Lama golf speech, so don’t hold me to that. But for the sake of this discussion, I’m presuming they are. Most guys who live in a temple high in the mountains to live lives of self-denial don’t strike as being down to smash on the regular.
Anyway, if I were attracted to men – which is to say, attracted to men who don’t own multiple Super Bowl rings – I’d be questioning the existence of a benevolent creator right now for putting a man on the Earth who’s built like Dwayne Johnson and then giving him the calling to go all celibate. It’s like when the Irish Rose went to St. Mary’s in South Bend and they had a priest there they called Father What-a-Waste. Or this new priest who’s visited our parish who looks like a Telenova star. It’s almost a sad, ironic joke by the Almighty that these guys are blessed with looks they’ll never use while all of us in the congregation who’d actually like to get laid once in a while look like unmade beds.
So good for this anonymous guy for managing to get so ripped living a monk’s lifestyle. And I hope he ignores the haters. But I’m going to respectfully suggest he might consider a career change and start taking advantage of those guns. To whom much is given, much is expected.
