The renunciation has many difficulties, the life of deprivation and misery, a life completely different from the life I still lived before, without possessing. Plus the constant practice, hard work, perseverance, without strong determination and faith, it is very difficult to survive. That you have to prepare. Otherwise we will be going down in two directions: to return to life or surrender to the tendency to become a trivial celebrity wearing a monk's robes. Of the two possibilities, the second possibility is the worst, but unfortunately, is the most likely to happen to austerities today. Name and profit, the uneasiness of suffering, the affirmation of the ego are very subtle and difficult to recognize, for cultivators even more subtle and harder to recognize. So the first important thing is to determine the right thoughts: cultivate for the purpose of liberating oneself, That is the purpose that every hour can never be forgotten. Observe your mind very clearly what your true motives are, maybe now it still hides the shadow of liberation, but even after leaving home, we still have to review it every day, It may be a long time before we discover and escape it. If not so, the practitioner will still be stuck, stuck extremely hard to escape, superficially is a religion but deep inside his heart is still life, there is no suffering deeper than that suffering, the suffering of those "half religion, half life ”!

If you become a renunciate, you should go to Burma because for another reason, you step into a new life and want to be perfect, you must cut off your predestination, do not let life keep affecting you. Going away from Vietnam for a long time, practicing to create a new life, a new personality so that when I return to myself I am a new person - a true Bhikkhu. Moreover, when living in a completely new social and cultural environment, the monastic community environment of another country, with other traditional powers, different voices ... will make me become a human being. new, must remove all habits, ways of life, ways of thinking, ways of speaking, activities ... more thoroughly. Those things in Vietnam I cannot do, especially for those who leave the monastic life to go home, this is very necessary. If you do not go around just doing the apprenticeship. Abandon old job to learn new job: profession! Renunciation - giving up on the small house to enter a new and more crowded house: the temple! I have a few genuine things from my own experience so to confide in you, hope you will find the right path for yourself.

Making a Bhikkhu with bare head, barefoot, no house, no relatives, no property, everywhere is home, he has a bowl of thousands of beggars ... a completely different life, with complete happiness. totally different from the world, along with completely different difficulties and problems, requires us to have a completely different view, really to reform, to give up: the most needed but also the most difficult. is the way of life, the way of thinking and the way of looking at the life of the old person. That takes time, experience and practice. So it is very easy to put on the noble robes, but to become a true bhikkhu, worthy of it is not easy, only years and perseverance and diligence will help you. do that. Therefore, seeing many monks still have the impression that they and the robes seem not to match, wearing the wrong clothes, Looks like "odd". Most of the religious life is for the ideal, because of the beautiful image of a bhikkhu that we want to become. But be careful with that ideal, it's just a strong motivation at the beginning, it's not sustainable. If we do not know how to gradually replace that dynamic with the more genuine motivation gained from practicing Dharma, then it will be time for us to gradually lose our enthusiasm and endless illusions in the face of the reality of the religious life and the religious community Doctor will make me become a dissatisfied and trivial at any time. Traps in the religious life are numerous and difficult to identify, very different, much harder to overcome than the ordinary pitfalls, because they are right where they think is the safest - in their own hearts, in my own thoughts, in things which I still consider to be true, are ideal! because of the beautiful image of a Bhikkhu that I want to become. But be careful with that ideal, it's just a strong motivation at the beginning, it's not sustainable. If we do not know how to gradually replace that dynamic with the more genuine motivation gained from practicing Dharma, then it will be time for us to gradually lose our enthusiasm and endless illusions in the face of the reality of the religious life and the religious community Doctor will make me become a dissatisfied and trivial at any time. Traps in the religious life are numerous and difficult to identify, very different, much harder to overcome than ordinary pitfalls, because they are right where they think is the safest - in their own minds, in my own thoughts, in things which I still consider to be true, are ideal! because of the beautiful image of a Bhikkhu that I want to become. But be careful with that ideal, it's just a strong motivation at the beginning, it's not sustainable. If we do not know how to gradually replace that dynamic with the more genuine motivation gained from practicing Dharma, then it will be time for us to gradually lose our enthusiasm and endless illusions in the face of the reality of the religious life and the religious community Doctor will make me become a dissatisfied and trivial at any time. Traps in the religious life are numerous and difficult to identify, very different, much harder to overcome than ordinary pitfalls, because they are right where they think is the safest - in their own minds, in my own thoughts, in things which I still consider to be true, are ideal! It's just a strong motivation in the beginning, it's not sustainable. If we do not know how to gradually replace that dynamic with the more genuine motivation gained from practicing Dharma, then it will be time for us to gradually lose our enthusiasm and delusion in the face of the reality of the religious life and the religious community.

I need the long-term support of the masters and pure community, of my own Dharma practice for a long time, maybe very long, to overcome all of these and find to be the noble happiness of renunciation life. I have something like "food for thought" that lets you think critically and prepare myself well. Preparation is extremely important if you want your renunciation life to be good later. Don't be in a hurry, please take the time to prepare everything, because there are so many things that once you become a monk, you cannot afford to prepare. SUCCESS LOVES PREPARATION! Success Always Needs Preparation. Renunciation is not escaping, so there is no need to rush too much! I wish you the best of your wishes soon. If you need any help from me, please contact me, don't be shy!END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.20/7/2020.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.
