I suggest you apply for a temple volunteer first, so it is easy to stay in the temple first, understand the life of becoming a monk and understand the requirements of becoming a monk. Besides, you said, "spend the rest of your life! Nothing more! " This sentence, the purpose of becoming a monk is not pure, and may be rejected by the temple. This is not a monk's idea. The purpose of becoming a monk must be to practice. Even cooking and cleaning is for spiritual practice. It is suggested to learn some Buddhist knowledge before going to the temple.
