The process to become a monk in Vietnam:



The specific process to become a monk can vary according to each sect of practice. However, it will generally include the following steps:

1. Improve understanding:

  • Learn about the Dharma: Read scriptures, participate in Buddhist courses, and live in Buddhist clubs to understand the teachings, philosophy and lifestyle of practitioners.
  • Learn about the monastic sects: Each sect has its own rules, rituals, and activities, so you need to research carefully to choose the right sect for you.
  • Hands-on experience: Participate in short-term retreats at the temple to experience the reality of monastic life, helping you have a clearer view before making a decision.

2. Apply for ordination:

  • Contact the abbot: After thorough preparation, you go to the abbot of the temple where you want to ordain for guidance and approval.
  • Perform the rituals: The abbot will guide you through the necessary rituals to officially become a monk, including the refuge ceremony, the Dharma ceremony, shaving your hair, etc.

3. Study and practice:

  • Take the courses: Participate in Buddhist courses organized by the temple to hone your knowledge and cultivation skills.
  • Moral Training: Comply with the regulations of the temple, practice morality, cultivate qualities to become a true monk.
  • Participating in Buddhist work: Participate in Buddhist activities organized by the temple to dedicate themselves to the community.

Note:

  • The decision to leave the monastery is an important decision, requiring careful consideration and careful preparation.
  • Cultivation is a long, challenging path that requires perseverance, patience, and a spirit of dedication.
  • You should choose a cultivation sect that suits you and has the consent of your family.

Some helpful references:

Ordination is a path full of difficulties and challenges, requiring determination and courage. However, if you have enough will and energy, this will be a very meaningful journey and help you find peace of mind.

I wish you success on the path of cultivation!
