i dont understand why the old monk committed suicide...?Why didnt he wait to die naturally?Be grateful if someone could explain this,thanks.

@AngeldenDevil He felt responsable for the young monk's suffering and for his actions. He probably came to the conclusion that since he couldn't train well even the one person whom he raised since early childhood, he wasn't a good teacher and so there was no point in him asking for alms from laypeople etc. So he did the next best thing (in his view): died a detached, dignified death, leaving his mantle there for whoever might come to the temple in future.

@AngeldenDevil Well..this movie is all about cycles..spring, summer.... spring again

So you could also think that old monk committed suicide because he has already finish his own cycle teaching the young monk, and dying was the way for doing this...

then the young monk come back, finds out that his master is dead.. and gets to understand everything

Is my way of seeing it!

Sorry for my bad english :)

@liza8423 The door its there because got the "demons" who protect the entrance to the temple. The asians demons not are the same than the our´s.
