Why must monks shave their hair?
Monks are to be indifferent to worldly temptations. So what do they have to keep their hair?
The body is only a shell. A bald head is a departure from having too much love for your body.
Buddha says think not of yourself, humans, the masses or the immortals. Everything around us is an illusion. Trouble comes with being oversensitive.
One is too sensitive about how people look at oneself, sensitive about whether one looks good, sensitive about too many matters and things.
Trouble follows only when one's mind is distracted. Those who know how to let go will have less problems.
