Does conversion to Taoism mean becoming a monk?

For a long time, in many people's minds, Taoist priests seem to be equivalent to monks. Actually, it's not. Becoming a monk at home is a tempering of one's Taoist heart. The world of mortals is not necessarily impossible, and each has its own methods.

What's more, in addition to the "everyone" in the temple view, Taoism can also have its own small family. So it is not accurate to say that a Taoist is a monk.

As for converting to Taoism and being a Taoist, it doesn't mean becoming a monk.

Conversion to Taoism is a basic introduction to Taoists and a religious ceremony to enlighten the gods and tell them to convert to Taoism. People who convert to Taoism are not restricted by region, work, gender, nationality, marriage and so on as long as they respect God and believe in Taoism.

Moreover, after converting to Taoism, you don't have to ask yourself completely according to the precepts of Taoist priests, but you can adjust yourself according to the actual situation in your life.

From the secular point of view, conversion only gives us a religious identity, which has no influence on other aspects of our lives at all, while the monks we often say refer to religious teachers who give up their secular identity and concentrate on practicing, which is naturally different.

In Taoist belief, conversion refers to the three treasures of "Taoism, Classics and Teachers" and the supreme "Tao Bao", that is, the "Emperor Dao Ji", which can never be reincarnated; Convert to the supreme "Jing Bao", that is, convert to "36 Zunjing", and you can get the Dharma; You can't stay in Jaken if you convert to the Supreme Master, that is, to the exorcist in metaphysics.

After conversion, believers remember the Tao, classics and teachers' teachings. On the one hand, blessed by three treasures, I studied the classic sermons handed down by the ancestors of immortals in previous dynasties, so that I could improve myself and be firm in mind. On the other hand, it will gradually change the bad habits in life, gradually stay away from troubles and confusion, and live and work according to the teachings of Sambo, so as to better assume social responsibilities and benefit others.

The biggest advantage of converting to Sambo is that it can not only strengthen our own beliefs, but also give our hearts a direction to work hard and take refuge, and then find our place in Taoist beliefs, let faith help ourselves, get relief and comfort from the spiritual level, help others, and finally improve the quality of life.
