The process of becoming a monk is as follows:
For those who want to become monks, after finding out their identity and origin and finding that they meet the requirements of becoming monks, after three to two years of experience and investigation, they can worship a Gebhikkhu (for women, Gebhikhuni) as a barber and hold a shaving ceremony in front of the Buddha (that is, shave off their beards and replace their secular clothes with Buddhist costumes).
After studying for a short time and seeking to accept the Ten Commandments, you have obtained the qualification of a novice monk or a novice monk. Being a novice monk or a novice monk is translated according to the pronunciation of ancient India, which means "avoiding evil deeds and doing good".
After more than one year's inspection by the monks' group (learning the basic knowledge of Buddhism, reciting five lessons [non-Buddhist system], learning Sammi's ritual [Buddhist system], etc.), we will see if it is worthwhile to receive the Three Altars' Great Commandments, and then ask for the sufficient precepts before entering the number of monks.
Attachment: In some places, the act of changing the layman's surname to a new one when filling out the Conversion Certificate for the layman belongs to a drama that disturbs the monk system; It is not only disrespectful to Buddhism and the ancestors, but also disrespectful to each other and their parents and ancestors, which is not as good as the law.
