Temple Life - Simplicity

[peacock]

Taking refuge in the Triple Gems and abandoning all materials to lead life in a temple is something not everyone can achieve. Only the brave ones, monks, young novices, nuns can thread this noble path to receive mind trainings in these Buddhist institutions. Leading a noble life is no easy task and it's all about simplicity and detachment from the worldly life. Therefore, this noble action should be greatly encouraged for those who chose to follow this path while the Buddha's dispensation is still available.

There are many circumstances that lead to why some people would choose temple life. It can be due to poor family background, life destiny to be a monk, etc. Whatever the reasons behind one's going forward, learning of the Dhamma with strong faith and in search of the Ultimate Truth as expounded by Lord Sakyamuni Gotama will certainly bring success to the practitioner some day in the distant future.
