Question

Hi,

If growing haair is conduces to brahamcharya and pure life then why buddhist monks in Tibet and Japan shave?

Answer

That is another school of thought and approach, aimed at forsaking attachment to one's hair and gender. There are different roads to the destination.

ॐ तत् सत्
(That Supreme being is the absolute truth)
