The requirements for becoming a monk include thirteen difficulties and sixteen light veils:

The first and thirteenth difficulties are: bad inner and outer paths (those who do destructive work to become a monk), breaking his Sanskrit (those who also abstain from sexual immorality), thieves entering the path (eavesdropping and warning), yellow doors (those who have asexual functions), and two (those who have both male and female genitals).

The second and sixteenth lightly cover-ups: don't be a handmaiden, a thief, a debtor, don't give people under the age of 2 a foot ring, don't be a patient, such as carbuncle, carbuncle, madness, etc. (anyone who is physically and mentally ill and has abnormal facial features is not a degree), and their parents don't listen to them, and don't pay attention to the current military personnel. As the 11 karma says, "The upright person becomes a monk, and the clean person is round (subject to great precepts)."

In a monk's group, it's not as it is now, as long as both sides are willing, but you must get everyone's consent before shaving. In the precepts, this is called begging for Shami karma 9. That is, a monk or a monk who wants to become a monk must make a request to the monk group. If the public thinks that this person really has the conditions to shave the novice monk, they will give permission, otherwise they will not. No one can become a monk without the permission of the monk group. There are two reasons for this rule: first, a monk was not qualified to be a man, but he was able to be a man. Later, he could not teach the precepts as the law, which caused his disciples to violate the precepts and dignity. 2. A child ran into the Buddhist temple without his parents' consent. His parents found the temple and asked other monks, all of whom said they didn't know about it. Finally, they found that the child had been shaved and became a monk, so the lay monk ridiculed the monks for lying. Therefore, a Buddhist monk must be approved by a monk group.

For the ceremony to be held when becoming a monk, please refer to Volume 41 of The Four-part Law: Copying Information and Holding Records, Shami's Other Articles. Daoxuan lawyers made the ceremony according to the Four Divisions Law, Du Ren Jing, Good Seeing Law, etc. Its main contents are: gather monks to beg for karma: let the people who want to become monks go to the Sangha Lan, stand in the place where they can't see and hear, and the barber will beg from the public with dignity, and the monks will announce the matter of this time to the public. If there is no objection,

A monk must have two masters: one is a barber, who is also a monk; First, Professor A Gao Li. Those who want to become monks first invite monks, and then invite A Gao Li. The ceremony guide told him the significance and method of hiring a teacher, and went to the monk with an instrument and said,

"Dade is single-minded, and I want Dade to be a monk for me. Because of Dade's reason, I have to be a monk and be compassionate (three requests).

I ask O 'Yue Li Wen to allow this, but change the monk to O 'Yue Li.

after the monk invited the second division, he set up a second-prize seat in the Dojo, ready to sit for the second division. Bathing yourself with fragrant soup means that you can get rid of the vulgarity of the common people, still wear vulgar clothes after bathing, and say goodbye to your parents and elders one by one, and say,

"You can't get rid of love in the three realms. Abandon kindness into inaction, and truly repay kindness.

after saying that, he took off his vulgar clothes and changed into a monk's costume. He entered the Dojo and knelt down and folded his hands before the monk, who decided to become a monk because he said that the hair, hair, claws, teeth and skin of a person were unclean, which made him tired of life and death.

Then he went to Aguili, who filled his head with fragrant soup and praised him, saying,

"It's kind of a gentleman to be impermanent in the world. It's incredible to abandon the customs and enter the mud.

A monk pays homage to the ten buddhas and says to himself,

"If you turn to the Great Buddha, you can endure three hardships, but you also want all sentient beings to enjoy doing nothing.

After that, Auntie Li shaved his hair, and others chanted:

"Destroying the shape and keeping the festival, giving up love and having no relatives. Abandon your home and enter the holy road, willing to spend all people.

when Gao Li wants to shave his hair, he should leave a few hairs on the top, and then kneel before the monk and cross his hands. The monk asked with a razor, "Why don't I go to shave your hair today?" "Answer:" Er. "The monk shaved off the top hair, and then gave the cassock (robe). The monk should wear it and accept it. After receiving it, he returned it to the monk. After three times, the monk dressed the cassock for the monk and said:

" What a relief, there is no Futian clothes. Dressing like a precept is broad to all beings.

When a monk makes a good cassock, he salutes the Buddha, walks around the altar three times, and says that he celebrates himself:

"No one likes it when he meets a Buddha. Blessing and meeting, I get a profit today.

Finally, I thanked the public and the Second Division, sat down and was celebrated by six parents.

The list of monasteries that can hold the preaching ceremony shall be submitted to the Buddhist Association of China for approval and determination in strict accordance with the conditions and actual needs by the Buddhist Association of provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, the same below); A temple without approval shall not be held without authorization. To teach the Three Great Rings in monasteries with the qualification to preach the precepts, the provincial Buddhist Association must obtain the consent of the religious affairs department of the provincial government in advance and report to the Chinese Buddhist Association for examination and approval. There are about five monasteries in the country that teach the three great precepts every year; The number of people who are ordained at each time is generally around 2; The abstinence period is not less than four weeks, so as to organize new abstinence to learn abstinence laws. Article 12 An ordained person must be at least 2 years old, meet the conditions stipulated in Article 9 of these Measures, hold an ID card, a copy of the official records and a letter of proof from the local competent department and the temple where he is located, and be screened and identified by the Buddhist Association of the province where the monastery is preached, before being allowed to enter the church to be ordained. Those who are over 6 years of age are generally not given precepts, except those who increase or make up the precepts. Thirteenth teaching three altar precepts, the object is mainly the province's ordained people; An ordained person from other provinces must obtain the consent of the Buddhist Association of the province where he lives, issue a certificate, and introduce him to be ordained. Article 14 During the teaching of the Three Altars' Great Commandments, the precepts must be taught separately. Teach the bhikshuni precepts and conditionally implement the two-part monk precept system. Abolish the practice of burning incense scars.

The monks who require permanent residence in the monastery must pass the examination for one year, and then report to the competent department of the government, registered permanent residence, for transfer and other procedures.

if monks are paid, what is their salary standard? Is there a level?

If monks are paid, are their salaries paid by the state finance (taxpayers)? Are taxpayers obligated to bear this expenditure? If it is not completed by the state finance, how can their wages be guaranteed?

As long as you are predestined friends with Buddhism, becoming a monk is a very admirable thing, not to mention that the constitution of the country gives every citizen the right to believe in religion. However, it is normal for monks to have some special requirements in order to promote Buddhism and benefit students and to represent the image of Buddhism. But it's not as exaggerated as you said, what undergraduate diploma, CET-6, and what salary is 3 thousand. This is all nonsense. Let me talk about the basic conditions for becoming a monk. I hope that everyone will not regard Buddhism as a distant thing from us.

Conditions for becoming a monk:

1. Good facial features, good health, and no bad hobbies such as smoking, drinking, gambling, etc.

2. The age is between 17 and 6, and the parents agree.

3. No legal disputes, no debts and no marriage relationship.

4. Have a certain educational level, just above junior high school. Of course, the higher the better, but high education is not necessarily a good thing. If you pay too much attention to writing, it will often be detrimental to your practice and become an obstacle to your knowledge.

5. Those who want to become a monk can bring their parents' written materials, ID card, household registration certificate (issued by the police station) and physical fitness to the temple you think is predestined friends. It is best to have acquaintances and references.

6. When you arrive at the temple, you should do everything according to the requirements of the temple, put down all the entertainment facilities in the world and enter the test stage.

7. What you should do in the test stage: recite five lessons, learn the rules of Shami and learn the basic knowledge of Buddhism.

8. Treatment of monks: All monks who become monks are responsible for arranging their daily needs, life, diet, medical care, etc., without paying any fees, and according to the income of the temple, each monk has a monthly living allowance ranging from 5-3 yuan, which is used for going out by car and buying scriptures for his own study. Some temples will be less.
