I have looked it up and it’s because long ago a monk touched a women inappropriately, so the monks were no longer allowed to touch women and to help monks practice their celibacy women do not touch them either 👍

You dont wear the dress code for temple, try to touch the monk. Girl, learn about the culture before you go so you can be respectful???

In Buddhism, monks practice discipline and simplicity. Avoiding physical contact helps them stay committed to their spiritual journey—so it’s actually about respect for their vows.

Not just when giving blessings. They're not ever allowed to touch females ever. Unless it's REALLY necessary, then an exception would be granted

I know I'm like super duper late, but the reason is for celibacy. It is to protect the monk and the woman from having impure thoughts or lust.

I know it’s so they don’t feel any sort of attachment or sexual desire but the fact that they think women induce sexual desire just by existing or being touched is insane to me
