Why do monks not like to be asked about their age?

Monks don't like to be asked their age because it highlights the disrespect of others for themselves, and age is also a matter of privacy.

Because the Taoist priest is pure-hearted and has few desires, stays away from the red dust, cultivates himself, does not like to be disturbed by the world, and has taboos.

When Taoists meet with Taoists and friends, they must do "Taoist salutes", and the so-called "Taoist rites" are similar to our Chinese "Taoist rites".

Monks don't like to be asked about their age, because age is a personal privacy and it is inconvenient to disclose it.

Because generally they will be older, and they are more taboo for self-cultivation.

That's because they don't think it's good, so they don't approve of it.

Not only that, but in some countries it is not possible to do this, which is very impolite.

A layperson (even if he is a fellow monk) is not allowed to be called a brother or a senior brother to a monk. Don't be vulgar.

Taoist priests are pure-hearted and self-cultivation, do not like to be disturbed by the world, and are taboo.

Buddhism also has a method similar to Taoism for refining qi, but that can't be practiced blindly.

There are no requirements, Taoism and Buddhism are already one in China itself. However, there is still a difference between the Taoist leader and the Buddhist Shakyamuni.

They are all monks.

Buddhism: Men are called monks, and women are called nuns.

Taoism: Men are called Taoists, and women are called Taoists.

1. Monks are Buddhists.

"Monk" originally came from the Sanskrit word, which means "teacher". Monk is an honorific title, and only those who have certain qualifications to be able to be called a teacher can be called a monk, not everyone can be called a monk.

This title is not limited to men, and women who are qualified to be monks can also be called monks. Later, however, the word was customarily used as a term for ordinary monks, and it was generally regarded as a noun for men, which was inconsistent with the original meaning.

A novice monk is called a novice (meaning to be diligent and inspiring, to stop evil deeds), born at the age of 20 or older, and has received bhikshu ordination, and is called a bhikshu (meaning a beggar to beg for the Dharma and beg for food and drink). The Chinese mistakenly referred to it as "Debi Kongchu, so it is called a bhikkhu", which is also a joke). Within five years of receiving bhikshu ordination, one is not allowed to be a teacher of the same family; After five years, if you have mastered the precepts, you can become a teacher of the special skills you have learned, called a model teacher, and in Sanskrit it it is called Achariya, and you can rely on them and teach them to recite them. After ten years, he can be a parent-teacher; After twenty years, it is called Theravada; When they reach more than fifty years, they are called elders of the elderly.

2. Taoist priests are Taoists.

Daotu is a Taoist clergyman. They converted to Taoism because of their belief in it, fulfilled the rites of initiation, consciously and voluntarily accepted the teachings and precepts of Taoism, and lived a religious life that was regarded by the world as pure and lonely but they regarded as sacred and transcendent. At the same time, as a disseminator of Taoist culture, Daotu also plays a prominent role in social life by preaching and preaching in various mysterious ways and doing his best for his religious beliefs.

The Taoist temple view can be divided into two types: the temple of descendants and the jungle of the ten directions. The descendants of the temple can accept apprentices, and the master implements the hereditary system of master and apprentice, and does not accept Taoist priests. The Shifang Jungle is also known as the permanent residence of the Shifang, and accepts the Taoist priest of the traveling party to live, and has the privilege of passing on the precepts and is not allowed to accept apprentices privately.

In the jungle of the ten directions, the resident Taoist priests have a meticulous division of labor. The supreme person in charge is the abbot, or abbot, or the contemplator. The prison is the second person in charge of the overall situation.

There are eight deacons, including the abbot and the prison court, including the guest, the liao, the storehouse, the account, the scriptures, the canon, the hall, and the number, and are responsible for the affairs of the eight aspects.

The guest is the guest hall, and the person in charge is called the guest and is responsible for receiving the guests and assisting the prime minister of the supervisory court. The squatter is the squatter house, and the person in charge is called the patrol and is responsible for labor affairs. The library is the warehouse, and the person in charge is called the head of the warehouse and is responsible for the warehouse.

The account is the account room, and the person in charge is called the account room and is responsible for finance. The scripture is the scripture hall, and the person in charge is called Gao Gong and is responsible for chanting. The pawn is both a pawn (or a point seat), and the person in charge is called a pawn and is responsible for the food.

The hall is the Shifang Hall (or Yunshui Hall), and the person in charge is called the hall master, who is responsible for placing the Taoist priests. The number is the number room, and the person in charge is called the welcome, who is responsible for greeting and getting to know the Taoist priest in advance.

In addition, there are "three capitals, five masters, and eighteen heads". All three are honorary positions. The five lords and the eighteen heads each have one office, and their status is lower than that of the eight deacons. The major jungles are also different in terms of division of labor.

All of them are, but their beliefs and practices are different.

He is different from a monk, although he is also a cultivator, he can marry a wife and have children. Example is "Wudang Sect".
