- Ever considered becoming a Buddhist monk in Thailand?
If so, then join the International Dhammadayada Ordination Program (IDOP) at Wat Phra Dhammakaya in Thailand. IDOP gives foreigners an opportunity to ordain as a Buddhist monk, to live in a monastery, and practice the ancient traditions of the Buddha.
Becoming a monk is not easy; however, the most rewarding experience I've ever had. Wat Phra Dhammakaya is the world's largest Buddhist temple in the world and you must come to experience it for yourself.
If you or anyone you know is interested in becoming a monk, please download my free guide below that consist of Frequently Asked Questions.

Im a muslim girl from morocco but i started meditation and that's why i started searching about it more
Peace and love
I'm was born in a Sunni Muslim ☪️ family but I was always curious about the deep and complex questions of the life like existence, meaning, suffering cause..etc. & I couldn't find the answers but kinda fascinated and attracted to the Buddha ever since I was a kid and after reading about thr Nikāyas and Therāvada Buddhism, it changed my life and it means a lot that I found the Noble Buddha's Dhamma❤

I am very proud to be a Buddhist from Bangladesh.... I cried when I watched this vedio because I am a woman and it is not possible in Bangladesh to take ordination. Those who take ordination I always respect them..... Sadhu sadhu sadhu 🙏🙏🙏I wish one day I will go Thailand. Long live Buddhism.. 🙏🙏🙏

I MADE IT TO A MONASTERY!
Didn't go to Thailand, but I was originally inspired by this video and I found an awesome Zen Monastery in the US.
I had a vision of being on my death bed and feeling the disappointment of never having tried this lifestyle.
For anyone that has this spiritual yearning or philosophical curiosity,
GO FOR IT!
The yearning never goes away.
If you can afford Thailand try it, but don't disregard American monasteries or practice centers.
Western teachers have the advantage of understanding the Western mind.
I met a wonderful teacher who told us his teacher, a Chinese Chan master, taught more advanced
techniques to students in the US because they were hungrier to awaken.
Also, monasteries in the US are usually open to all people, women, men, LGBTQIA, international, BIPOC,
all ages, people with disabilities, different dietary needs, and even punk rockers.
Much love to Nick for putting himself out there and following his call.
Good luck to all on your path 💛
Thank you so much my friend.
Hello Raul, whats the name of the monastery that you went? Ty in advance

Hey man, I’m from Thailand and buddhism is in my blood. I have so much respect for our monks and have became a monk twice already. I respect and love how you became a monk here in Thailand and learned about many many things over your course. Love from Thailand 💖
Awww. Thank you so much. Thailand has been so great. Where did you ordain?
thats amazing! what is that beautiful white plants that has 3 flowers/heads? ive never seen it before. thanks!
Nothing to respect in the Dhammakaya sect
hey can i asked question ??? and my question is if i became monk once in life then can i get married ?? or i to have spend my whole life as a monk
@@sanjukc2116 What you want conflicts with the whole getting rid of attachments thing if you wish to hold onto that desire. You also will not be being true to this if you go into it while planning for it to only be a temporary thing. Ask yourself why you want to be a monk? when you do not really want to be so. There may be a another path more suitable for "you".
I'm a Tibetan Buddhist monk. I totally agree. In buddhism discipline is one of the most key things. Without discipline will not achieve wisdom and compassion..

With respect, you are using internet as a monk in Tibet? Some in Thailand are not allowed anything of the sort. Some are allowed to smoke, some are not, it all depends on the master at each temple.

Sadhu sadhu 😀😀 thank you so much
dont be proud, because pride comes from ego. its better to use the word fortunate. because only a fortunate person can gain access to the teachings of the buddha.
I ❤️❤️❤️ Buddhism. It’s teaching me how to forgive and let go of people who have physically abused me for many years. I tried other methods, religion, but only Buddhism teaches exactly HOW to do it ❤️
I'm glad it's helpful ☺️☺️
@@nickkeomahavong01 Is there one for women
Actually other religions methods are much SIMPLISTIC and Really Simple. In Buddhism, they show you in details what, how each step involves. Deep process.
The 8-chain Inter dependent Causality of Buddhism is a start. If you can REALIZE its meaning, not only Intellectually Understand, you are on a path to holiness.
I hope buddha's teaching will spread over the world 🌱☸️

@Balakha Tv what does this mean?
I'm not a Buddhist but I respect the monks and Buddhists way of life. I used to travel to Thailand frequently and partake in the giving of alms (which is basic food like rice and vegetables, all monks are vegetarians) and receiving blessings in return. It is the Buddhist way of life.

Hello Nick, I have been thinking about being a Buddhist monk for what feels like a long time. I thought of you and your videos when I finally got the courage to actually figure out what it takes. I appreciate you.
Iam christian, but I learn a lot from buddhism since 2019 and I really understand if LOVE isnot only word and isnot only between peoples. Thankyou, change my life so much better and beautiful. No hate, just share love and kindness to all that created by GOD whatever ur situation and condition. Kindness and Love are magic word. I really find the true peace and so much apreciette my life. Dont hate and be positive 😊

I have no discipline.. i pray everyday to god truly by my heart that please use me as a tool for your good work.. but I have no any master or teacher to take guidance..😞🙏 you all are so blessed...
Sadhu. Thank you so much. Regarding finding a good teacher, try first to find a good community and friend. I've found that it just leads to the next 😊

It’s a wrong notion, they are completely detached. They are actually attached to the “simplistic” way of living, saffron clothes, religious rituals etc. which they can't give them up. This is one of the biggest attachments. Ones gives up luxury, but hold on to this simplistic way of living. Both are equally bad. Ask any monk they will not leave them. One who is really free will not get attached to any of these things.
Giving away your mind isn´t sacred, humans for a long time now have found it easier to fall to their knees and let other dictate to them how to think how to live.
No thanks i´ll stand on my own two feet and look everything straight in the eye, i know what is right and i know what is wrong, and i sure as heck do not need some cult, religion or anything else set along that mentality with its silly little rules, mindless chants and endless rituals to tell me what to do. Standing on your own two feet and walking your own path and finding your own way in this world initially seems harder but as you move along it gets alot easier and soon you´ll realize the only difficulty you ever really faced was with your own mind.
Take damma as your teacher, sister.
There are plenty of budhist damma sites in the net.
I suggest you read therawada budhism and vipassana meditation.
May you attain nirwana!

Lesson learned " When you sacrifice everything for God you become one "
Thank you 😊
Saksham,
That statement is sooo tacky. Really.
There is No sacrifice to god needed. There is no personal god. Humans give name to singular god or pluralistic gods.
One can learn n realize that one has _no more ego, a separate entity that governs the heart n mind n body,_ , then one becomes one with NATURE, not with god.

Thank you Nick .. I am exploring different paths for myself and today I started thinking that Buddhism teachings is the answer to all our questions and the solution to our troubles .. thank you for sharing you knowledge .. it was through you that I learnt about Buddhism .. love from London
You’re welcome ☺️ thank you so much
Samya,
Yes.. Buddhism encompasses all TEACHINGS... I came from Christian backgrounds since childhood to adulthood, not name sake or family sake, really delved into its book n interpretation from certain branch of Protestanism angle.. I come to certain understanding that Buddhism is so vastly misunderstood by humanities. Thus Humanistic Buddhism , a different approach compare to Zen Buddhism..
I'm so blessed to call myself Buddhist. 🙏🙏🙏
Proud to born Buddhist in Thailand.
Sadhu sadhu 🙂🙂

Buddha was born in Limbuni,Nepal .
@@NepalShaman 🙏😁🙏🙏🙏
@@NepalShaman There was no Nepal before 1856, it has always been part of the kosala kingdom. Learn the history of Bharata .
You should have said that Buddha was born at lumbini, which is now located in present day Nepal.
@@preetikushwa7032 There was no India at that time as well. Lies

Greetings from Thailand 🧡
Twenty years ago, I saw my first monks here in Santa Cruz.
I was with friends at a Buddhist retreat, just going for an innocent hike.
I burst into tears. The others hiked without me, as I didn’t want to leave.
I understand that women cannot be monks in Thailand. I hope that changes soon.
I'm glad you had that experience. That's wonderful :-)
If you're looking for an opportunity to ordain, you can look into Myranmar and SRI lanka. They have programs for women.
@@nickkeomahavong01 Thank you for that information! I’m a woman and was just searching for this information. I appreciate you and your videos, and hope that you have a beautiful day.
Trying to change ones way of life is not the buddhist way
there are buddhist nuns too in india, you could try your luck there only try not to wanting to try other peoples culture and religion and just live your own life.
@@KimchiYeo it's basically trying to avoid your duties as a human maybe as a dad a fiance a husband etc... And it's definitely bad
No I am a Srilankan Buddhist . Women can practice buddhism and become nuns there are many nuns who are practicing buddhism in Sri Lanka .
Watching it now is as refreshing as watching it 5 years ago.. perhaps one of the reasons is having repeating thoughts of becoming a monastic. However, attachment to the worldly desires are still strong and other causal conditions have been met, still lucky to have met the teachings of all the vehicles
Hi I’m from Ladakh India follower of Mahayana Buddhist. I feel so Proud to be a Buddhist ( Om muni muni maha muni soha. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
