I am new to TRP and today I've been monk mode-ing, except to post here. I was wondering whether or not it would be more beneficial to read the sidebar articles before or after Monk Mode. I've taken notes on a few of them so far. I would think that this would be alright to keep doing so, as it helps to expand my knowledge, and improve myself, one of the three Monk Mode Is. But it is also using the internet.
