    The Dharma name, also called the precept name, was taken when the monk took the ordination, so the Dharma name is a symbol of the precept body. The meaning of ordination is to restrain one's own behavior so that one does not infringe on others. Only by keeping the precepts pure can we settle down on the Dharma, achieve happiness and wisdom, and be truly free.

    If you can't keep your vows pure, you will never be able to embark on the path to liberation, and how can you attain the ultimate freedom, nirvana? So this Dharma name is not a shackle. What are the real shackles?

    Bad karma and retribution are the real shackles, and reincarnation is the real shackles. It is precisely by receiving this vow and receiving this vow that we can achieve happiness and wisdom and get rid of the shackles of reincarnation. Taking the name of the Dharma indicates that to carry on the family business of the Buddha wholeheartedly is to continue the wisdom of the Buddha.

    Only when the Dharma lives for a long time can more sentient beings hear the Dharma and embark on the path to liberation, this is not only the freedom of the bodhisattva, but also the freedom of all sentient beings, so how can it be shackles? Dharma is the Dharma of liberation, and swimming in the great wisdom of the Dharma is true freedom, so how can it be a shackle? To become a monk is not to abandon the mortal world.

    In order to make a living, the family inevitably has to focus on secular utilitarian knowledge. Monks do not have the distractions of family life and can concentrate on growing the good dharma of birth. The bodhisattva who practices Mahayana is the universal sentient beings in the past calamities of life and death, and the sentient beings are saved in the mortal dust, and they will abandon the sentient beings in the mortal dust.

    Our name, our last name all determine our origins. The clan of the surname is actually an internal connection, and you and the person with the same surname as you can also be regarded as having some fate. Therefore, the monks will have their own Dharma name, which represents separation from the clan and the earthly relationship.

    However, the name of the Dharma is just a title and has no meaning in itself. Why do you stick to names? It is you, not your name, who has attained enlightenment.

    When you have attained the Tao, do you have a Dharma name, is it a Dharma name, what is the meaning of whether it is a Dharma name or not?

    The name of the Dharma and the name of the Dharma are the same thing, and under normal circumstances, it is unlikely to change if the decision is made, and in some cases, there will be changes, and there will be two or more of them.

Becoming a monk is a house of troubles, a house of desires, a house of the six realms, not a house of a house, Buddhism emphasizes substance rather than form, the six roots of a monk are not pure, and the afflictions increase, even if the form is a monk, it is useless, and it has nothing to do with life and death. On the contrary, the layman at home, respecting the upper and lower harmony, filial piety to parents, brothers and sisters, no quarrel with others, no seeking from the world, the six roots are quiet, there are no troubles, the Buddha said that this is the true monkhood, and the Dharma is internal learning, is the cultivation of the mind, not the form. Becoming a monk is a good thing, but it also depends on whether the karma is ripe, the monk is called the teacher of heaven and man, the teacher of heaven and earth, and the merit is great, but the purpose of many people to become a monk is not to continue the life of the Buddha, but to be greedy for merit, temple property, fame and fortune, greedy for the children and grandchildren of the monks, if the monks do not practice well, and are infected with the world's "wealth, sex, fame, food, and sleep", they will definitely fall in the future, and it will be very troublesome.
