    I'm a Taoist priest.

    If you are a monk, you will be like a true disciple.

    It's best for you to understand the difference between Quanzhen and Zhengyi, and learn a little bit about Taoism.

    My brother's space, you can take a look.

    Becoming a monk, is it mainly your heart to let go?

    Personally, I think that the Taoist style of Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan is better, and you can go and see it if you have the ability.

    Generally, it is necessary to ask for the consent of the family, there is a place to prove, there is a belief in Taoism, and so on.

    The specific one depends on the senior brother of the Taoist temple.

    Immortals are noble beings, and there are no measurable people.

    Fusheng immeasurable Heavenly Venerable.

    Obey you, if you are not strong, where there are people, there must be someone to cheat with me, you see what position you want to be in the temple is also a key relationship

    Do you really think it's quiet inside the temple? Don't be naïve.

    I told you that I don't understand, your mind is confused now, take your time, don't rush to become a monk first, maybe you want to become a monk now, after a while you won't think like this, you have to try to adapt to society. ~~

    I also asked a few days ago, so I'll copy it for you.

    Qingcheng Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain in China, one of the birthplaces of Taoism in China, and has gone through more than 2,000 years since the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the second year of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty (143 AD), "Heavenly Master" Zhang Ling came to Qingcheng Mountain, selected the deep and secluded Hanbi of Qingcheng Mountain, knotted Mao to preach, Qingcheng Mountain became the birthplace of Taoism, was listed as the "fifth cave sky" by Taoism, the Taoist palace view of the whole mountain takes the Tianshi Cave as the core, including Jianfu Palace, Shangqing Palace, Patriarch Palace, Yuanming Palace, Laojun Pavilion, Yuqing Palace, Chaoyang Cave and so on have been well preserved dozens of Taoist palaces.

    Zhang Daoling, formerly known as Zhang Ling, lived in Sichuan, learned the Tao in Heming Mountain, made a Taoist book according to the "Taiping Sutra", claimed to be dictated by Taishang Laojun, and according to the original religious beliefs of the ethnic minorities in the Bashu region, took Lao Tzu as the leader, took the "Tao Te Ching" as the classic, founded the "Five Buckets of Rice Dao", also known as the "Heavenly Master Dao", and was respected as the Heavenly Master by later generations, and changed its name to Zhang Daoling. Legend has it that the Taoist master Zhang Daoling appeared in Qingcheng Mountain in his later years and feathered here. Since then, Qingcheng Mountain has become the ancestral mountain of the Heavenly Master's Dao, and all generations of Heavenly Masters from all over the country have come to Qingcheng Mountain to worship the ancestral court.

    Through the establishment and development of Zhang Ling and his descendants, the Heavenly Master Dao gradually expanded to the whole country. During the Jin and Sui periods, the Heavenly Master Dao had the rise of the Northern Heavenly Master Dao and the Southern Heavenly Master Dao and the emergence of regional sects. Qingcheng Mountain is said to belong to the Zhengyi sect of the Southern Heavenly Master.

    At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the famous Taoist priest Du Guangting came to Qingcheng Mountain, and the tradition of the Heavenly Master Tao was combined with the Shangqing Dao. Shangqing Dao claims that cultivating the Tao can ascend to the "Shangqing Heaven", which is higher than the ideal "Taiqing Realm" of the old Heavenly Master Dao. Du Guangting later served as an official under the former Shu Emperor Wang Jian, and the official was the Guanglu Doctor Shangshu Hubu Shilang, and he was crowned as the Pillar State Cai Guogong, who lived in Qingcheng Mountain for nearly 30 years in his later years, and wrote books and said, which had a great impact on the development of Taoism.

    In the Ming Dynasty, Qingcheng Mountain Taoism belonged to the Quanzhen Dao Longmen sect. The difference between the Quanzhen Tao and the original Heavenly Master is that it advocates that the cultivator should become a monk, live in a nunnery and become a Taoist, not marry a wife, and not eat meat, and has created a set of cultivation methods for self-cultivation and meditation. Taoist priests live in the mountains, and naturally pay more attention to the maintenance of the palace and the cultivation of mountains and forests.

    At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the war continued, and the Taoist priests fled, until the eighth year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, Wudang Mountain Quanzhen Dao Longmen sent Taoist priest Chen Qingjue to Qingcheng Mountain to preside over the teaching affairs, and the situation changed again.

    Roughly speaking, you first go to the Taoist temple to find the master to emphasize that you want to enter the Tao, and then after the master agrees, it seems that you still need a certificate of parental consent, and then stay in the Taoist temple to learn all kinds of knowledge, and then you have to pass the examination organized by the Taoist Association to confer ordination, so that you are a genuine Taoist priest recognized by the state with a teacher's inheritance.
