(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.

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. )

(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 of becoming a monk.
Why do you want to become a monk?
Conditions for becoming a monk, feast master
Some people think that becoming a monk is the easiest thing. As long as you shave your hair and change clothes, you will become a monk. But some people often ask their families, "What are the requirements for becoming a monk?" The answer they can get is also very simple, not to say "no conditions, just have confidence." In other words, "there are many conditions, and I can't tell for a while."
In fact, before Buddhism, not only everyone was equal, but all sentient beings were equal, so everyone was entitled to become a monk, regardless of wealth, wisdom and ignorance, or Buddhism. So becoming a monk is easy. However, bribery is only the basic equality of foothold, not indiscriminate acceptance, otherwise Buddhism will become a trash can that hides evil people and practices evil! Therefore, the condition of learning Buddhism (that is, becoming a monk) is that everyone comes to you, and the requirement of becoming a monk is thirteen difficulties and sixteen light covers. Now they are as follows:
The first and thirteenth types are victims: bad inner and outer sects (people who do sabotage work and become monks), people who break his Sanskrit (people who also abstain from prostitution), thieves who enter the Taoism (people who eavesdrop on the precepts), yellow doors (people who have asexual functions), two roots (people who have both male and female genitals), people who become animals, dehumanize people, and people who commit boundary crimes (people who have been forbidden and committed great precepts).
2. Light gauze: non-slaves, non-thieves, non-debtors, people under the age of 20, people who have not been fully disciplined, people who have not suffered from furuncle, carbuncle, madness, etc. (those with unhealthy body and mind and abnormal facial features), and those whose parents refuse to listen, and those who are in military service are not allowed to wear clothes. As 1 1 karma said, "A righteous man becomes a monk, and a clean man is round (subject to great precepts)."
This is the condition of becoming a monk. The so-called people with serious difficulties, as long as they fix any difficulty in this life, will not listen to Buddhism becoming a monk. As for the mask, you can eliminate the reason and become a monk at any time. According to Sapo's theory; "Sixty years old, no big ring, no ring, can listen to the novice monk; Under seven years old, don't listen. If I am punished, I have been doing evil. "
Too young and too old to become a monk, the monk law says, "You can't become a monk if you are over seven years old." He also said, "over 70 years old, you can do what you want; Less than 70, nothing can be done. If you lie down, you won't listen to becoming a monk. Over 70 years old, healthy, able to read, listen to the Tao and become a monk. "
It can be seen that people under the age of seven and over seventy are not allowed to become monks. Before the age of 20 and after the age of 60, although monks are allowed, they are not allowed to become monks. The younger is the little monk, and the older is the old monk. The younger one will eventually become a great monk, and the older one will never be forbidden by the great precepts. These requirements are all put forward by Buddhism, but some Buddhists are limited to talk on paper. When they climb the altar to grab tools, professors and Buddhist monks will of course ask questions, but they have never seen a new commandment stumped and covered. Some abstainers, because of greed, know that the little novice monk is less than twenty years old, but teach them to lie and say that they are twenty years old first; How old will the monk who quit the ring give him? It's a joke to make him 20! Some people who see their heads, those who are blind and lame, can also be given an anklet; As for over 60 years old, it's certainly more convenient! It is a matter of course whether those people can get rid of it. It is another question whether the preacher in the ring field should bear some responsibility of light law and wait for a while! Because of this, it is no wonder that most people think that monks are the best.
If the requirements are more in line with the provisions of the Buddhist system, in modern times, hairdressers certainly choose monks and nuns with prudent standards; When you talk about abstinence in the ring, you must also attach a health check list when you sign up for a new ring, and then you can decide whether to quit after face-to-face oral examination. Otherwise, the conditions mentioned are not conditions at all, but a cover for false responses.
The key is your understanding. If you think becoming a monk is the best choice in life, only by taking this road can life be meaningful. Having this concept is the most basic condition for choosing to become a monk. If you haven't formed this understanding, don't become a monk for the time being. In addition, family relations should also be handled well. Buddhist scriptures say that parents can't become monks unless they listen. But this is not in principle. There are many eminent monks and great virtues in history, such as the old monk Xu Yun, who became a monk without the consent of his parents. There are many such situations in real life, because many parents don't understand Buddhism at all, and it is impossible to get their consent before becoming a monk. So some people run out regardless of whether their parents agree or not, and there are many such situations.
If you get married, you must divorce before you become a monk. In terms of age, the precepts stipulate that you can't become a monk under the age of 7, and you can't become a monk over the age of 60, because at that age, you can't even take care of yourself and have to be raised by others. Therefore, you can't become a monk without the ability to live independently, and you can't let others take care of you after you become a monk. There are other conditions, such as taking more important party and government positions and having to resign before becoming a monk; If you owe a debt, you must pay it off before you can become a monk; There are other conditions, such as hermaphrodites can't become monks, people who have committed serious crimes such as destroying other people's Sanskrit and living in a thief's house can't become monks, that is, people who have pretended to be monks as family members and participated in important meetings within monk groups can't become monks. In a word, there are thirteen kinds of situations that will cause obstacles to becoming a monk, mainly to ensure the healthy development of Buddhism.
