There are many ways to find peace and relaxation. For this Buddhist monk, rock seems to work!

Buddhist monk Kazutaka Yamada has once again taken to Youtube to cover another rock classic: this time, AC/DC's "Thunderstruck."

Yamada sings, drums, and hits his gong along with the song right before hitting a full three minutes of quiet meditation.

This isn't Yamada's first brush with pre-meditation rock: he's also covered Judas Priest, Queen, The Beatles, and Metallica!
