Thailand, Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia.\u00a0 It is expected that young boys and men be ordained, usually before the age of 20 or before being married.\u00a0 It is regarded as a way for him to repay his parents by making merit through ordination.<\/p>\n<p>The Sangha (Buddhist monastic life) is a rite of passage into manhood for boys in Southeast Asia.\u00a0 Buddhist parents see it as their duty and privilege to let their sons be ordained as monks and immerse themselves in Buddhist teachings.<\/p>\n<p>The ceremony into monkhood can be very colorful and elaborate.\u00a0 The boy is dressed in rich clothing, paraded around town and accompanied with much music and fanfare surrounded by family, relatives and friends.<\/p>\n<p>The length of the ordination is up to the individual, ranging from one week to several years.\u00a0 Most boys become ordained during Buddhist Lent (which corresponds during the rainy season from July to October), however there are no restrictions on when to be ordained.\u00a0 If he so chooses, the boy may also be ordained more than once.<\/p>\n<p>When entering monastic life, monks are expected to obey a set of rules defined by the Vinaya Buddhist scripture.\u00a0 Novice monks follow ten rules or precepts while a fully ordained monk must follow a complicated set of 227 precepts.\u00a0 Monks must also give up all materialistic possessions and is only allowed to have three robes, a girdle, a bowl for receiving alms, a needle, a razor and a water strainer.<\/p>\n<p>The monk\u2019s day start at a very early time, usually waking up at 4am.\u00a0 After a shower, the monks will don their robes, which can be quite tricky for new monks.\u00a0 The robes are supposed to emulate Buddha\u2019s humble attire and separation from the material world.\u00a0\u00a0 After chanting Buddhist texts at around 5am, these boys and men will set out for their alms walk an hour later.\u00a0 The most senior monk leads the line, while the rest follows.\u00a0 This is a time where normal people can earn merit by offering food to the monks.<\/p>\n<p>After the alms walk, the monks return to the temple for breakfast.\u00a0 Since monks cannot refuse food from people during their alms walk, they are allowed to eat whatever they have been offered, including meat.\u00a0 After breakfast, the monks usually perform chores like sweeping the monastery floor or doing their laundry.\u00a0 Others might go and privately practice their meditation.\u00a0 Meditating is an important spiritual tradition in Buddhism because it is seen as an important step to enlightenment.\u00a0 Monks also use meditation to free their minds from negative thoughts and feelings.<\/p>\n<p>At around 11am, monks have their lunch.\u00a0 Monks are not allowed to consume food in the afternoon or store it for later use.\u00a0 After lunch, monks will disperse out to different activities.\u00a0 Some may be involved in community affairs such as the blessing of new homes and businesses while others may teach or study Buddhist texts.\u00a0 Young monks from underprivileged families will attend monastery sponsored schools for the rest of the afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Buddhism is a big part of many people\u2019s lives in Southeast Asia.\u00a0 A lot of what you will see and discover in the region, whether it\u2019d be historical buildings, people and their customs, are influenced by this religion.\u00a0 You can experience the beautiful and colorful region with our <a
