BHIKHARI

BHIKSHUK
is an old perceived tradition in india . 
the bhikshuk has denigrated to bhikkhu and then to bhikhari. 

 
bhikhuk is not same as beggars. they are the persons who have sacrificed their wishes and the mundane world for its selfish and temporary outlook . they seek the ultimate goal of life. this is called the moksh. the meaning of the word moksh is similar to mukti that is freedom . this freedom is little different from the common connotations of the word freedom . it means freedom from the clutches of selfish and wishes . it has been observed by the bhikshuk that the selfish and wishes are the only problems of any life. to achieve freedom from these is the goal of life . that is the life which is free from both sorrows and happiness. it perceives happiness and sorrows the resultants of either fulfillment of a wish or selfish or failure of a wish or selfish.so when you are happy , its just another perspective of a sorrow . the root cause of all ills is selfish and wishes. wishes are the embodiments of selfish in one form or the other. 
so bhikshuk is the person who has abandoned the selfish. he/she does not wish to keep , collect , gather, earn things like clothes , house, articles , food or for that matter anything that will attach him/her with things . this attainment or abandonment of unattachment is bhikshuk. 
 
these bhikshuk were used to be receive alms as food or clothes from the benevolent people . this is called bhiksha. a donation away from the abhipsa.
