Do the monks want to open it, or can t they think about it?

There are two kinds of people here, one is the one who really wants to open up, he wants to open everything so he can put down everything to study the Dharma and get physical and mental improvement, and the other is the person who has encountered a lot of problems in the real society that can't be solved and went to become a monk in order to escape from reality. This kind of person just can't think about it.

For the monks, they want to open up, give up the world of flowers, and want to be leisurely and pure. For us who are obsessed with the world, it seems that they can't think about it, why give up when the world is so colorful. Thank you.

Part of the answer is in your question, and the other way around. Those who want to open and those who can't think of people will become monks. There is no need to think about this, it is nothing more than a combination of ideas and living methods with different weights.

Life can be understood as walking the labyrinth, the beginning of the human nature is good, whether this statement is right or wrong, assuming that this is birth: sex is close to each other, this is every branch point of the labyrinth, we are the product of self-choice branch point, out of the house, nothing more than a choice in the labyrinth, after all, still in the labyrinth.

People who want to open find that they can't go out, so they wait in place and sum up their experience, hoping that they won't come in next time, and they will persuade them not to go when they meet people, and don't go into the maze after learning from me. But if you can't think of it, there will be two results, either you want to open it, or you will be vulgar. Ha ha.

Becoming a monk itself does not mean anything, some people really believe in the Dharma, have the heart to promote the Dharma to all sentient beings, then for him, of course, being a monk is positive, is really seeing everything, but some people are becoming monks in order to escape from reality, such people often encounter difficulties in life, do not have an optimistic attitude, just want to escape, with this state of mind to become a monk, in fact, they can't think about it, so they can't simply use the phenomena shown to judge the merits.

If a person really wants to open up, he will not become a monk; If a person really can't think about it, he may leave this world. A monk, he is neither thinking about it, nor is he unable to think about it, but he is thinking about it...

Some people want to open up and choose to become a monk and practice, and they have no regrets in this life. Some people want to leave home and escape from the world, to escape the troubles of the world, but the Tao is not clear, and they are still greedy for red dust.

Monks do not need to look at how high their education is, nor do they need to look at their identity and status, even if they are illiterate and uneducated, they can all become monks, because Buddhism itself is a universal being, and there will be no harsh conditions that discriminate against anyone, but it is not completely without thresholds. First of all, the monk must be voluntary, and then a person must be kind-hearted, and in doing so, he must be worthy of his parents.

Q: What are the requirements for ordination?

Answer: The key is your understanding, if you feel that becoming a monk is the best choice in life, only by taking this path, will life be meaningful, and having this concept is the most basic condition for choosing a monk. If you haven't developed this understanding yet, don't become a monk just yet.

In addition, the relationship at home should be handled well. In the Buddhist scriptures, it is said that if your parents do not listen, you must not leave the house. But this is not principled, there are many eminent monks in history, like the old monk Xuyun, although he did not ask for the consent of his parents, he still became a monk.

There are many cases like this in real life, because many parents don't understand Buddhism at all, and it's impossible to get them to agree to become a monk again. Therefore, there are many people who run out regardless of whether their parents agree or not.

If you are already married, of course, you must divorce before you become a monk. In terms of age, the precepts stipulate that you cannot become a monk under the age of 7 and over the age of 60, because at that age you cannot even take care of your own basic life, and you have to be supported by others. Therefore, if you don't have the ability to live independently, you can't become a monk, and you can't let someone else take care of you after you become a monk.

There are other conditions, for example, if you hold a more important party or government position, you must resign before you can become a monk; If you have a debt, you must pay it off before you can become a monk. There are also some other conditions, such as that yin and yang people cannot be ordained, and those who have committed serious crimes such as destroying other people's practices and stealing their dwellings cannot be ordained, that is, people who have participated in important meetings within the Sangha under the guise of pretending to be a monk in Zaifan Gaiqing cannot become a monk. In all, there are thirteen situations that can cause obstacles to ordination, mainly to ensure the healthy development of Buddhism.

Here are some of the other issues that are of concern to you. For monks, the hukou and archives are not important, many monks in the monasteries do not have hukou, and few actually move the hukou to the monastery. There are more than 300 monks living in Nanputuo, where I live, and almost only in front of the state.

Twenty or thirty people have a hukou. If the monastery wants some people to live there for a long time and stably, they will try to move their hukou to the monastery, but for the monks, these are not important, and the treatment is the same with or without a hukou. In addition, the monastery where you live will provide you with your daily needs and medical expenses.

The economy of the monasteries is independent, and the state's policy towards the monasteries is to support themselves. Each monastery has its own economy**, some monasteries own land and can engage in some agricultural production, and many monasteries derive their income from tourism. The basic livelihood of the monks is absolutely guaranteed, and when possible, the monastery also spends part of its income on charity and Dharma propagation.
