Counter-Strike is good for personal development, but don't let me tell you, listen to this bona fide Buddhist monk with a beast RTX 4090 rig instead

A Karambit Gamma Doppler Emerald knife in CS2.

I play Counter-Strike 2 most nights, and I can't say I've found anything particularly Zen about trying to clutch a 1v4 after my teammate on A-site dies to his own molotov and proceeds to shout expletives in Russian while I try to listen to enemy footsteps. But who am I to say? Not a Buddhist, that's for sure—and certainly not a Buddhist monk. If I was, then perhaps I'd be able to handle it all a little better like this chill dude (via Ohnepixel).

Assuming the translation of the Dasheng Studio mini-documentary provided by X user nealCS is correct (and thank you, Neal), the monk, who in the video goes only by the "Master", kept Counter-Striking after joining the order: "Why would I cut off a good thing?" Damn straight.
