Who has thoughts of renouncing one's lay life and experience the
life of monastic monk?
I have this feeling as I am not dissatisfied with my current life,
especially working for a living. I felt that my current life is
aimless and empty. The reason I am feeling this is cos I am not
practising the dhamma, thus not benefiting the effects of the
wonderful and timeless dhamma. Contradicting isn't it.
If that is the case, I might as well renounce and lead the life of
a monk to cultivate and study Buddhism and also contribute to
community.
Some people might say one can still practise Buddhism while leading
a laylife, this i agree as there are lay followers who did not
renounce, has a high level of achievement in practising
Buddhism.
When one renounces, it means that you are willing to give up your
laylife and experience the life of a monk, which adhere to vinaya
rules, self cultivation studying of buddhism, and helping the
community.
