Why do many people become monks, and why do more and more people want to become monks nowadays?

If you choose to become a monk at a very young age, it is mostly because of the influence of your family, and the opinions of your parents are dominant, in Tibetan Buddhism.

more in the middle; When they become adults, they choose to become monks, for example, after graduating from university, because some of them graduated from Buddhist colleges and take ordination as a profession, some because of their faith, and a very small number of local university graduates also choose to become monks.

This is very small compared to the current total population. As for why it came out, everyone has their own causes, and some people don't understand anything at the beginning and are frustrated. There are also people who don't have any setbacks and are all good, but they always want to understand the ultimate truth, and this comes out differently, ......But in any case, to be able to come out, which in itself is very good, is to plant the seeds of achievement in the long run. For the time being, everyone who sees this kind of image will also plant the seeds of goodness in their hearts.

This statement is a bit one-sided.

In this era, which is different from our traditional society, "University" says: From the Son of Heaven to the Shu people, all of them are based on self-cultivation. In the past, all people in society pursued spiritual liberation and lived freely.

He does not value material things, so his heart is very rich, so he will produce a large number of literary works such as poems, lyrics, and songs, and praise the times in which he lives.

But this is no longer the time to pursue spiritual liberation, and almost everyone is seeking material comforts. From top to bottom, it is "money-oriented", and when everyone goes after money, this spiritual life is very barren. In addition, the pressure of life is getting bigger and bigger, and it is too late to make money, so I will think of pursuing spiritual things.

You can look at it from a small aspect, are there more people reading books or playing with mobile phones now?

So, in this situation, it can be said that there are fewer and fewer people who want to become monks, because the desire for spiritual liberation cannot be raised at all.

You see that during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Tang Dynasty, there were millions of monks at every turn, what kind of state was that? And the population at that time was not large, only tens of millions. Now it has a population of 1.4 billion, and there are only about 200,000 monks. So there are fewer and fewer monks!

No. Actually, there are fewer and fewer monks, because modern people are getting more and more greedy, you think it's more, it's just that you happen to receive more information about monasticism, we live in monasteries, and we know this situation too well.

When the karma for becoming a monk is ripe, they will look for a place of peace in their hearts, and some of them will be touched by the knowledge of Buddhism, that is, they will find a place where they feel safe and belonging, and they will find the most important and meaningful place in life, and they will also get the most important and precious place that others cannot get.

Well, this is not stipulated well, it also depends on their own conditions, some people need such an environment to correct, some people's wrong thinking and behavior, some people are very self-disciplined, do not need such an environment, in the event is completely okay, in fact, it is a person at home, he is easy to meet a lot of people, a lot of things, so there will be a new vertical practice, such an opportunity, many repeated experience can also increase some of their ability and skills wisdom, will get full exercise, not you**no? It will give you an exam, and it won't tell you when the exam will be, you just have this opportunity, and after you come, see if you can completely let go of this matter? If you are not trustworthy, you can really pass the test if you completely see through it, so you still have to have a high standard to be strict with yourself, from the code of conduct, from the ideological realm is to have a full cognition, complete improvement of consciousness, usually fine, more introspection, more repentance, so that it will be better improved.

Many people now become monks not out of devout faith, but from escaping the pressures of life, but in fact, even if they become monks, they may not be able to escape those sincere troubles. There may be many people who want to become a monk, but there may not be so many people who can actually become a monk.

This should be because people are under too much pressure now, or maybe because of family reasons, there are many aspects.

Because I didn't get what I wanted, I was disappointed and left home. Monks still can't solve the problem.

Becoming a monk is the best option, and I have been looking for the right temple. The first is to completely free the troubles of the world, and the second is to increase the blessings of the younger generations, hoping to exchange their own suffering for the future generations to get rid of the fatigue of the bottom and live a better life.

Stressed, or religious.

Now this new generation is a generation that seeks spiritual liberation.

No, I don't. The temple is also not a sanctuary. Unless you're a celebrity and can donate money to the temple.

The famous singer Li Na became a monk because she found a place to stay.

Li Na once said, "By chance, I attained the Tao and comprehended the Tao from the 'Six-Character True Scripture'. In the never-ending chanting of 'Om Mani Horn Mi Mi', I suddenly gained a sense of being uplifted. So, I knew that this was 'Faxi', and the so-called 'Faxi Zen Le' referred to this.

So, I felt that I should become a monk, and I left behind all the troubles of the world and the past Vanity Fair experiences, achievements, honors, and lessons, and I searched for the quiet awakening, the impulse of a peaceful nature, that was originally hidden in the hearts of each of us, and then I slowly immersed myself in the harmony and true meaning that nature and human beings are born with. ”

Personal life: In May 1997, when Li Na's career was in full swing, she was invited by a friend to visit Tianmen Mountain. Subsequently, she not only designed and spent a lot of money to build a wooden house herself, but also transferred her household registration to Zhangjiajie.

The cabin built for Li Na at that time was named "Li Na's Hut". It was in this small wooden house that Li Na refused all social contact, and lived a secluded life only in the company of an elderly local couple. During that time, she went to the nearby Tianmen Temple every day to worship the Buddha and visit Zen.

However, Li Na did not live here for long, so she said goodbye and went down the mountain and gave the house to the Tianmen Mountain Management Office.

I haven't become a monk yet, I'm still thinking about starting a family, thinking about why I always want to think about things and things, and I don't have a firm position, so let's really come back after becoming a monk.
