During the Buddha's time and throughout the course of the history of propagating the Dharma, the Buddhist monastic transmission was extremely precious and should be encouraged. Because the Dharma is passed on and lit, it is thanks to the monks. The Buddha before the gods entered Nirvana, he had instructions to the disciples that:

"After Tathagata is absent, the teachers rely on the precepts and the dharma to practice. The precepts and the dharma are the teacher, the island, the shelter, the fortified moat, the means. The most precious thing for teachers to attain the state of full enlightenment and peace, teachers often mobilize, encourage, wholeheartedly love and teach whole-heartedly new students and monks.  By means of the ultimate, urgent, religions of the Buddha that the Presbyterian, Ton Duc Sang, Ni in every place, every time are interested in volunteering the men and women to set their hearts earnestly to deliver. family. Even Buddha Shakyamuni himself, he was not only happy to receive many non-lineage members, of all class members in society, down to his hair as a mendicant, but he also used all his compassionate energy to Encouraging those in the royal family to give a monastic mind to become a monk, to hold a bowl of alms-bowls, to live a conscious and simple life. One An Nan, one Nan Da, one A Nau Lau Da, one De Ba Da Da, one La La La, one Di Kieu Kieu Di, one Gia Du Da La ... and there are thousands of princesses, aristocrats , prince, male and female men like in the line they like to renounce their regal life, renunciation as monks is an extremely eloquent and touching proof. During an interrogation of the Persian king when he came to visit the Buddha, it was related to the profound wish of the monk: "The Blessed One, the disciple understands wrongly, it looks like the Buddha is very fond of, encouraging and paying attention to the renunciation of the Monk of the princes in the Sakyamuni Emperor?"  "Your Majesty is very observant. Tathai knows well that the people in the Thich family must soon leave the monastic mind, they will avoid bad karma in the present and future."  "Bach Duc The Ton, why should they renunciate to avoid bad karma?"  "Your Majesty should know, the monk who is a mendicant will have many opportunities to take care of his life and death. The monk has the following fifteen advantages:  -" One has no chance to do bad things.  - Secondly, there are many opportunities to learn morality and meditation.  - Three is not hard work and passionate about material life. - Four is not to commemorate disputes with life.  - The year is not a narrow affair.  - Six is ​​an affection for morality and easy to nourish a healthy seed.  - Seven is transforming bad karma in many lifetimes.  - Eight is the end of hatred and resentment.  - Nine is happy and relaxed.  - Ten is the wisdom that is cultivated and developed rapidly.  - Eleven is open mind compassion.  - Twelve is living for the benefit of all.  - Thirteen is soon to leave all suffering.  - Fourteen is out of six paths of reincarnation.  - Fifteen is the achievement of Buddha fruit quickly. " "If there are enough fifteen of the above advantages in life, the people in the Thich Ca family will be able to escape the karma. They will not be decimated by Luu Ly. only, but there is also a link to bad karma with each other for many lives. "  "The Blessed One, for the monks, during the time of the initiation of the faith to prepare to become a monk, what do they have to do first of all for themselves?

Good study, extensive knowledge, good organization, and thoroughness in the world is not The basic and necessary things, except for hope, to do good deeds, clearly see the nature, out of bondage, to escape from samsara is the wish, which is the important thing of the monk ".  By the Buddha read the verse:  "The rise to renunciation  Making almond firmly start  Self earnestly studying religion  Self diligent practice  center has space relations  Skip ego trust accounts  Since escapism mortal  Dut disturbing the ceiling  Niem mindfulness of constant awareness  Clearing the law of all things is not  self-luminous and often miraculous  May I guide the level of birth. " (Kinh Vien Ly) In the Phuoc Dien sutra, the Buddha mentioned five great and beautiful qualities of the  renunciation : 1. The love of the righteous dhammas in the miraculous  power solves suffering.  2. Baüng forgot the age of the pearl of spring and spring  .  3.

Chi bridge of spiritual enlightenment  We save four suffering in response to the temple. The direction of the monk is first of all towards the inner life, to control himself, to take control of himself and not to let the passion and desire outside appeal. Mindfulness is the subject of intentional and mind-searching. Where is the mind? Mastering the mind, clearly seeing the cross-section of the mind is to clearly see the origin of all the causes of suffering and the path to true, comprehensive happiness. Living in a social environment filled with the charm of sex and emotions, the monk's soul has not been wavered, it is an extremely difficult and challenging journey. Therefore, the image of a monk also means that a person has a strong will, a steadfast determination, and a quality of tolerance to the adversity of life. Therefore, the image and role of monks become noble. Buddhists at home and many people wholeheartedly, wholeheartedly upholding the monastic body also for that reason. The Buddha often confesses the virtue of a monk:  The world is full of charm  The firm mind does not move  the winner of a hundred battles  No equal to winning himself.  The victors of superiority  Craving for ignorance  Winning hatred for anger Career precious in life (Dhramapada Suttra) Mass is ordained at Kim Son Monastery every day. Hundreds of young people and students attend short-term ordination courses at the Monastery every summer. Many ordained monastic courses in the past few years have helped some young men and women give their official monastic teachings, currently living at Kim Son Monastery and other study centers in the United States. and overseas. In addition to the number of over thirty monks who are currently studying at Kim Son Monastery, there are a number of first-generation ordained monks who have set out to teach and are conducting Buddhist studies and carrying Buddhist programs at the states in North America. These are fruits obtained from nursery staff at Kim Son Monastery. Although the results are modest, this is an encouraging joy for the dharma, Son Cu's Footsteps, Son Cu, said he was happy to leave home, who followed the footsteps of the Buddha. This is also the song "student" of Kim Son monastery to send to young people who are awake, carefully looking for a way.  "The monastic establishment unfortunate not to wait,  not wait for the day went by quickly.  Do not wait for hair clouds set white mist,  not wait coast petal light faded.  The renunciation established unfortunate end to exclusion,  Dut except sex serves to anchor damnation.  Dut except for mere greed passionately.  He returned to dwell with the body and mind.  the three-piece forensics,  hand bowl miles away.  live the universe ever  love stretches.  He went off to live circuit  body not entangled rosebushes The mind raises the light source  .  Up happy home people homeless  No ego house built on land  not house tile roofing ignorance,  And the lingering downs.  Renouncers up well not demand  No demand of life in prosperity  not demand fame and prestige big  Which seek all live equanimity.
