Why not study Theravada Buddhism in Thailand, Buddhism’s homeland, and challenge yourself to improve your personality and knowledge!
Experience and study (training) for men over 20 years old are the goal of one panther (basically 3 months [90 days]).
However, it is possible to have a Thai priesthood even for a week. You may be worried about it, but please collect essays and other stories from experienced people and information about it.
1. The advice of a Thai guarantor (guardian) or an experienced person is important for the processes leading up to the priesthood.
2. Memorization is ideal, but caution is necessary, for the priestly formula (to kudo [priesthood]) is confirmed by a question-and-answer session in Thai (Pali-language).
3. Compliance with the 227 precepts and sutras in Thai textbooks will be achieved through everyday efforts and dedication.
4. With physical strength, energy, adaptability, and receptivity, living in hot climate, Thai foods, and wearing a yellow priest’s robe will be “getting used”. (The problem disappears once you get used to it).
5. Training points differ depending on such individual temples policy of large-scale, local, academic, meditation, others and priests.
(pre-selection required)
6. The required money may be 20,000 to 50,000 yen when entering the priesthood, and after that there is a certain income from donations.
7. You will have free time except for the morning and evening chanting and alms (Bodhisattva) practices, academic time and work such as Buddhist studies.
