  Monk Events  
  Assassin:
It has recently come to the attention of the Monk Guild that there are members of the community who seek only to kill with no purpose, reason, or vindiction other than to kill.  This is not the way of the Monk, and we feel it is our duty to stamp out this attrocity of the Kingdom.

Gathering:
Weekly discussions of different topics usually having something to do with Monks, how they live, and how they act. Some of the past topics were Karma, The Four Noble Truths, sparring vs. violence.

Pebble Toss:
One must have good patience and hand-eye coordination to be able to toss a simple pebble across a room through three or for Monks.  Only five pebbles are allowed to be thrown, and players must stay on the throwing line.  Prizes will be given to those who can throw the pebbles the farthest.

Jan Ken Pon:
The game is simple; there are three objects, a rock, a paper, and scissors. Rock dulls Scissors. Paper covers Rock. Scissors cut Paper. All games will be best two out of three (not including ties.) Unless decided differently before the start. These are usually in a tournament type form.

Service Hour:
A great group of Monks is reading karma, giving item blessings, and handing out free advice to any passer-bys.  If you don't need any of those things, you can always just stop by to chat with us.

Story Contest:
The Monks hold a weekly story contest with a subject somehow related to our path.  Your story will be published in our library, and we will pick three storys each week as our place winners.  Even if you don't win, your story will be preseved for years to come.

Three Poisons:
There are three Monk volunteers that represent one of three poisons: Greed, Anger, and Intolerance. Once a participant discovers the location of each Monk, they are to write the host a letter including which poison the Monk is, and where they were found. Prizes are awarded for the first three winners.
