5. Surāmerayamajjapamādaṭṭhānā veramaṇī sikkhāpadaṃ samādiyāmi - I undertake the training rule to abstain from fermented drink that causes heedlessness and drugs.

These are the rules for a Buddhist Lay-men.

No actually, A monks may eat Meat. It depends on that Buddhist culture. The Buddha never disapprove eating meat. And theres Ten Precepts you should follow if your a buddhist monk or a nun or a diciple. Only a Lay-Men follows 5 or 8 depending on him or her. I will tell you them in my next comment. You may already know but others my not.

I like the hair observation! Do the monks have internet access at the monastery? It could be a distraction! Nice video, great challenge!
