Who do you rely on when you become old after becoming a monk, and what is a monk?

There will be many devotees in the monastic temple, and the monks and the elderly can rely on these offerings to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, and their food and daily life are taken care of by volunteers. There are also some social pension institutions that can accept elderly monks, and there are also relatives who are willing to take their relatives who have already left home to support them, but there are not many such cases.

Monks live a long life, and their schedules are very regular. It's really in response to the old saying, going to bed early and getting up early is good, they have been vegetarian for many years, and they won't get some diseases caused by fat. Not eating at noon is also very good for the health of the elderly, who practice Buddhism all year round and have a very good mentality.

Monks, whether they are bhikshus or bhikshunis, although they are said to be free from the red dust, but if a person eats grains and grains, even if he has attained perfection in cultivation, he will grow old one day, and even if he is a vegetarian all year round, his body will have all kinds of discomfort due to old age.

In monastic temples or nunnery, there will be many devotees to worship, and the monks can rely on these offerings to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, and their diet and daily life are taken care of by volunteers. There will also be some social pension institutions that can accept elderly monks, which will be more convenient, and there are also relatives who are willing to take their relatives who have already become monks home to support them, but there are not many such cases.

People who abandon secular family and love between men and women, do not consider the fetters of daily life, and concentrate on cultivation are called "monks", which are subdivided into Buddhism and Taoism.

It should be said that it is more difficult! I have lived in the monastery for 8 years, and I feel that it is not easy to become a monk. Let's give you a brief look at the monk's daily routine! You'll know if it's hard work.

Are temples closed for National Day and Spring Festival? What time does a monk go to work? Is there overtime pay? Every time my friends ask me these questions, I can't be happier. As a practitioner adhering to the will of the Buddha, celibacy, vegetarian, taking the temple as his home, not accumulating property, money, and dedicating his life to the cause of Buddhism, purifying all sentient beings, there is no such thing as "going to work and working overtime", no matter what secular festival is, for monks, it is a constant day.

The average monk's day is arranged like this:

Get up at 30 (the sunrise is earlier in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, usually 3:00-3:30);

00-6:00 to the temple for morning class (Yanxiang Ancient Temple in order to facilitate students with different time differences across the country to experience the morning class, specially set at 6:00-7:00 to do morning class);

00-6:30 Breakfast (eating is also one of the spiritual practices, and Zen Buddhism is often called "passing the hall").

30-7:30 Open the door, clean or do other work.

00-10:00 Meditation or doing the things assigned by the abbot;

00-11:00 self-study (the temple also has non-rigid arrangements for this process, or meditation and chanting of scriptures, or watching the temple tour, every monk and resident has temple affairs);

00-11:30 Admission (lunch);

30-14:00 Lunch break.

00-15:30 Meditation or doing the things assigned by the abbot;

00-17:00 Go to the temple for evening classes;

30-18:00 Medicine Stone (Because the monastery pays attention to not eating at noon, this meal is to help those monks who can't do lunch without food to practice, which is like a medicine and is called "medicine stone").

00-19:00 Close the temple gate; Sutra practice (the Dharma teachers usually walk around, because they need to maintain inner awareness when walking, which is also a way of practice, so it is called "sutra"); Cleaning.

00-20:00 Meditation (this time is relatively free, monks will choose various ways such as meditation, practice, and drinking tea).

00 fall asleep. If you don't sleep all night and meditate, it's called "not falling down at night."

Some people are hard in life, and some people just don't work hard, this is their own way of life, and you can only know if you experience it yourself.

Hard work is not based on their own definition, there is faith in coarse tea and light rice is also very happy, without faith, brocade clothes and jade food are still painful.

When he is old, there will be his apprentices to help him deal with the aftermath.

In fact, there are people in the world who go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, they will donate money to do good, some donate hundreds, tens of thousands of yuan of big bosses, the temple also has a little family for the temple to make a living, naturally the monks are old, and naturally there are young monks to take care of the aftermath!!

Monastery offerings. There is an old man in the family, and if there is a treasure, there are still people in charge.

If you are really a monk, you don't have to worry about this, the Bodhisattva will bless you, and you will be tired of worrying about this.

If you practice hard enough, you don't have to worry about it.

Hello, it's not easy to travel for business now. I once read an article that a monk needs a master's degree, and you have to apply to the Buddhist Church, and if it is approved, it will be issued. Buddhist certificate, and not necessarily able to live in a monastery.

Anyone can, but some temples may not accept it out of selfishness, but the real student of Buddhism does not need to go to the temple, know how to meditate, you can go into the mountain to practice alone, so the achievement is greater than in the temple, but the temple can not become a Buddha.
