This
tradition means that the man who is twenty years old has to become
a Buddhist monk about seven days, fifteen-days or one to three
months or one year to depend upon convenient.
Before the
aforesaid ceremony starts, the parents of the man who will ordain
have to go to meet with an abbot of the temple in advance about
a few weeks and tell him about their sons' ordination. Then the
abbot orders one monk to teach a man called a candidate for the
Buddhist priesthood the way to pray for being a monk.
Later,
the man who becomes the Buddhist priesthood will be brought back
his spirits by his parents or relatives, friends and old people.
Next day, the grand and beautiful procession of the ordination
starts from the hosts' house to the temple. When arriving at the
temple, the procession walks around the Buddhist monastery three
rounds and then the Buddhist priesthood is taken to the Buddhist
monastery.
A preceptor
and other monks ordain the Buddhist priesthood to be a monk according
to the rule of the ecclesiastic association.
