According to the Buddha's dharma and precepts and the relevant regulations of the state. People who want to be ordained and become monks must meet the following conditions in addition to religious, respectful and correct beliefs:
1. Parents or guardians agree to permit (the Buddhist system is flexible), and bring the written materials agreed by parents, ID card, household registration certificate (issued by the police station) and physical examination certificate (not required in some places) to the temple you think is predestined friends.
2. The limbs are complete (Buddhism). Short hands and feet, twisted hands and feet, paralysis, polio patients, leprosy patients, crooked heads, etc. People who can't walk normally can't be banned from becoming monks. )
3. Correct the five senses (Buddhism). Blind, cross-eyed, deaf, deaf, crooked mouth, rabbit mouth or missing mouth, mute, etc. , are not allowed to become a monk. )
4. Not infected with serious infectious diseases (Buddhism, you can become a monk when you are in good health). (such as AIDS, various skin diseases, etc. ). But this is not the case with colds. )
5. People who have no debt problems (Buddhism, paying off debts can become monks). (such as bankruptcy, business failure and debt. )
6. Persons who have not violated national laws (criminal) or involved in legal proceedings. (refers to a person wanted by the police. If it is a crime, but the person released after serving his sentence is not in this case. (Buddhism can accommodate)
7. The age of the novice monk is not less than 7 years old (Buddhism), and the age of the novice monk is not less than 17 years old (government). (Buddhism is subject to great precepts at the age of 20, and can become a monk under the age of 20. There is no upper limit on the age of becoming a monk. The Buddha was only 120 years old when he was alive. But at least you must be able to take care of yourself and have the ability to learn and obey the precepts, otherwise you are not allowed to become a monk. )
8. Sound mind (Buddhism, you can become a monk after illness). (refers to diseases that will lose consciousness, reason and behavior without any mental illness, such as neurasthenia, schizophrenia and epilepsy. )
9. Mental health and normality. Bisexuality is not allowed to become a monk. Buddhism [Buddhism]
(2) Provisions on the measures for the implementation of the official record system for Buddhist monks in the Han Dynasty throughout the country.
People who want to become monks must be voluntary, hexapod (including no physical defects), healthy, devout Buddhist, patriotic and law-abiding (including no legal disputes), permitted by their parents, and have no marriage and love relationship. For those who want to become monks, the temple finds out their identity and origin and determines that they meet the requirements for becoming monks. After more than one year's investigation, he passed the examination (things to be done in the examination stage: reciting the Five Classics, [non-Buddhists] learning the rules of Misha [Buddhists] and learning the basic knowledge of Buddhism). They can worship a bhikkhu, and the woman worships the bhikkhuni as a hairdresser, and regularly hold a shaving ceremony in front of the Buddha, that is, shave off the beard as a monk. [Non-Buddhist] The common surname is changed to a teacher, and the mage takes a dharma name and a dharma number according to their respective teachings. And send it to the calendar as required. Then, after a short period of study, I asked for the Ten Commandments, which are called Misha or Shamini. Misha is translated according to the pronunciation of ancient India, which means "stop evil and do good". Those who have obtained the qualification of Misha or Shamini are monks or candidates for monks.
(3) For the academic requirements of becoming a monk, it is not a university degree that many people say. The state does not stipulate that there are (only monks who are abbots require junior high school education or above, but the requirements are not too strict), and local governments make them according to their actual conditions (in the Chengdu Bureau of Religious Affairs, it is now stipulated that there are high school education, and many of them are actually monks with primary school education). (non-Buddhist)
The above, except marked as [Buddhism], are not Buddhism. It is based on the fact that in the Collection of Four Laws, Misha, who is not allowed to read the Four Laws, is not allowed to read the four laws, so the specific sources of classics are not listed. The above [Buddhist system] is not comprehensive enough, but I hope it will help those who want to know how to become a monk.
You can become a monk in any temple. The most important thing is the purpose and reason of becoming a monk.
If you don't become a Buddhist, I advise you not to become a monk. According to the Buddha's teaching, a family member cannot be paid or anything, but should be supported by a donor. But this is also a characteristic of China. The salary of monks varies from place to place, with high in economically developed areas and low in relatively underdeveloped areas. The highest is the abbot, and the lowest should be the novice monk.
Work is estimated to be chanting, doing practical things, crossing over the dead, or being responsible for collecting money to support. In my opinion, this is really depraved behavior! ! !
