7 steps for international ordination at iMONASTERY

Ordination as a monk is considered a pure mind training and an opportunity to practice to correct bad habits for life. iMONASTERY has organised a 30-day international ordination program to give people from around the world the opportunity to experience and learn Buddhism and meditation deeply. The steps are as follows

1. Keep the 8 precepts to prepare
Candidates will start by observing the 8 precepts to train the mind to be calm and pure. Prepare for the ordination ceremony.

2. Hair cutting ceremony
The teacher will perform a hair cutting ceremony to symbolise the beginning of abandoning adherence to worldly life.

3. Ordained
Candidates will receive a hairdress and a white cloth. Then make a request to the family and receive a tri to prepare for the ordination ceremony.

4. Ordination ceremony
Enter the ordination ceremony. Ordained as a monk completely with the Upajja and the teacher as the ceremony.

5. Meditation training and Dharma study
Throughout the 30 days, the new monk will practice meditation, study the Buddha’s teachings, and learn the way of life of the monks.

6. Lasikkha
After 30 days, you will enter the Lasikkha ceremony to return to secular life. If you wish to continue ordination, you can inform the teacher.

7. Interview for the MONK 4 LIFE project
