- 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❤

What a noble channel. An ordinary person decides to become a monk, becomes one and then creates a RUclips channel to share his knowledge and teachings. Love it!!
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much pablo for your kind words 🙂🙂🙂
As an Indian(Bihar) Muslim, I feel that Our Govt. Should work more on Buddhist tourist places like Bodhgaya in Gaya district of Bihar where Buddha received enlightenment & the place from where Buddhist expanded all over the world.

@@WhosAGoodDogue yeah
I am a Nun from Myanmar ( Burma). When I am watching this video I am crying cause I am appreciated and thankfully to the Buddha.
And Good peoples to Thialnd.
I would like to talk to you about Myanmar, as I'm interested in Therāvada Buddhism from India and would possibly visit Burma for learning about it. Can we connect?
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.

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 am from Sri Lanka. 🇱🇰 🇱🇰 🇱🇰 buddhism is not a just religion its a philosophy of life and realistic of your life. I am so proud of being Buddhist and Buddhism country as well. 🙏🙏🙏 Namo Buddhaya!!!!
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'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..
Sadhu Sadhu ❤️❤️
...the food offering for people... It's very sad watching for me 😭😭😭

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.

@Balakha Tv what does this mean?
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'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.
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much 🙂🙂🙂and rejoice in your merits.
Watching from Turkey, Istanbul as a Muslim. Wow this a really informative and interesting video. I liked it a lot. I would like to learn more about your lessons and teachings of Buddha it would be amazing if you can suggest me some online websites or books. Stay with love ❤ ps: love will save the world, no matter what we believe in we are all humans. Respect for everyone.

I am from california, United States and my name is Narcedalia. I went to Thailand and was in this IDOP specifically. I loved every minute of it. Being a female was treated no different than any man. The ceromonies and teachings really opened me up to my spirituality. I never thought I would become a monk but there I was becoming an ordained monk. If you are looking for spiritual insight IDOP is for you. I ask everyone to join IDOP like I did and grow. It is for everyone and the challenge is to accept the journey your led on. You will not regret your decision. I know I don't.
Sadhu sadhu! Hope you are doing well my friend 😊
this brought me to tears, the monks peace and serenity spreads life a wildfire... i began practicing smiling all the time and people actually react to it i see people happier around me when they first saw me they would be awkward but then smile back. the monks are really outstanding. much love to all the monks i hope to become one soon when covid passes.

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

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!
The most great and purest achievement that a man gets in his life is. 🙏🙏🙏

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.

From sri lanka 🇱🇰
Love Thailand 🇹🇭 😍
Sadhu sadhu ❤❤🙏
I always have this urge of becoming a monk
Day in and day out I have this feeling
Since 9th grade when I read about buddha is when all this started
But I don't think my family will ever allow me to do so
Awww. Hopefully you can join us one day.
@@nickkeomahavong01 I just read the comments down below
And was disheartened to know there is no such arrangements for females
I'll definitely join if there will one in future
@@rivahana There are other traditions where women can ordain, sometimes only as getsulma and sometimes full ordination as gelongma like in Taiwan and Korea.
That was beautiful, dear friend. I, too, always wanted to become a Buddhist monk. I've always felt it deep in my bones. The Holy Buddha never stops waiting. Make sure to be living in the present and to follow the Dharma. You may end up a monk after all. You are destined to enlightenment. Much love in the Dharma, and may you fulfill your deepest wish.
@@didierlason6453 thank you so much🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I don't know why this is recommended for me.
😂😂
@@kiran8589 then what's the use of life. ? Sleeping closing eyes full day 😂.
This is so emotional, my heart exploded with joy while watching this video. Thank you for that peace of art! 🙏🏼✨
Thank you for watching my journey! I appreciate the support. I'm curious, if you had the opportunity to leave everything behind to transform yourself, would you take it? I would love to hear your perspective and feedback below :)
Yes I would. Becomig a Buddhist monk is extremely rare in the samsara..
The existence of a mind and a body is pain..cannot escape from sickness, aging, death and karmic misfortunes. Yet due to ignorance one perceive life as good.
The Buddha's central teachings is the Four Noble Truths. Monks get the support to experience these inner truths and liberate from the cycle of birth by arousing wisdom.
The laity supports the monks with the requisites because they are doing a very noble thing...
You are soo lucky to be able to experience blissful renunciation.
Good luck on your journey🙏
Is it available for girls as well
I don't think I have the courage or willpower for this, Nick, but I admire YOUR courage for doing this and sincerely wish you all the best. Hang tough....
Ur blessed one nick.congrats.n guide us.
Yes I will do it in fact from last 4 years trying to find out where and how to approach ?
I am a vaishnav and hare krishna follower. Buddhists and us have lot of things in common.. Love from India🙏❤️
Wonderful. Hello from Thailand 😁🙏🙏🙏
@Atheist how can u elaborate
@Atheist Just so you know Buddhist in Thailand also worship Hindu gods and more than 80%gods in Japanese Buddhism are actually Hindu gods and goddesses. Thank you very much, have some burnol.
Wow, I have so many questions!
1. What happens when one of the monks is ill?
2. What happens if someone decides to leave? And what is the process?
3. How often do you contact your family?
4. Can women be monks too?
I dont know about this monestary, but I know buddhism doesn't exclude women. They can be monks, buddha was kind if a rebel in his time also teaching his darhma to women.
I would like to know how this monastery handles that.
Females cannot become monks… but I don’t know much about Buddhism or it’s teachings but I’ve never seen a female monk nor do I believe they exist
Who says womens can be monks. Totally wrong . The first ever woman to be a monk was budda's step mother.since that day there are lot of women monks in the world
@@thilinaampana1002 Good to know... Thanks
@@chgofirefighter women become buddhist nuns I believe
Proud to be a Buddhist!
🇱🇰 🙏
Sadhu Sadhu 😊😊 greetings to you from Thailand
@ Kevin Silva. I'm glad you are following the path of compassion for others 🙏. 🙏.
Very scientific religion in the world, there is discrimination in every religion except bhudhism.iam also have been practicing bhudhism.and dedicated to lord bhuda
💙💙❤
Sadly this is not entirely true. There is huge extremism in Buddhism, just like any other religion. Overall, a very beautiful spiritual and religious practice! I wish more people would look into it.
@@yoggerzzz Yes, there are extremists but it comes from people who practice Buddhism. However, If you study Buddhism as it is, I don't believe you can find anything that is discrimination which includes treatment of women and homosexuals.
SALUTE TO THE REGION WHERE SUCH GREAT RELIGIONS ARISED IAM VERY PROUD TO BE SAY I AM BELONGS TO INDIA...MOTHERLAND OF HINDUISM, BUDDHISM,JAINISM,SIKKISM,AND SO ON...THE GREAT SPIRITUAL GURU OF THE UNIVERSE THAT IS INDIA.....
😁🙏🙏🙏
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
Simple life I love Buddha from childhood but I am a Hindu so much soothing and real joy of life will experience in future when I graduate from university tq for posting such a soothing video I wish every single human to follow the path and advice given by Buddha to destroy evil in us and everyone to lead happy life
❤❤🙏

All I see on Instagram are Thailand models who have lost their morals but this, this puts a smile on my face. Thank for showing how pure Thailand is
Awwwww thank you so much Brian. This makes me happy. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch this video and make a comment. Thank you sir. 😁🙏🙏🙏
I'm from Nepal 🇳🇵and I was ex monk also but there is two type of Buddhist Mahayana and Hinayana ....
One thing I never know Hinayana cut the eyebrows...wow ....
It's not hinayana, it's just thailand. There are some saying about to distinguish thai monks from burmese spies but that's not very convincing. (And eyebrows are pretty neccessary in such hot and humid climate)
@karma I was thinking the same thing. I'd like to keep my eyebrows. Lbs.. Otherwise, I think their values are beautiful.
What i love about buddhism is the discipline simplicity
Thank you
This is so humbling...I'm so thankful that I'm watching this video.
thank you so much 🙂🙂🙂
You are on right path brother your journey will take you to nirvana may budha bless you 🙏

Go and read your Books again kid..
Buddha was Born in India and died in India...
What you Nepali have to do with it, Go and live your Backward Countr¥
@@devashishbhatt8464 nepal came into existence 300 years ago otherwise it was a part bharat just like Pakistan, bangladesh and myanmar.
In the sharan of buddha everything is just normal like, money, fame, house, car, family but the best thing I learn from this monks is inner peace and meditation for our health and peaceful Life 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi Himanshu! Thank you for sharing this. 😁🙏🙏
I am so drawn to Buddhism and my limited exposure to Monk life. I always wondered that if I as a woman would be welcome into a monastery. I live in NYC and would love to find a monastery.
Yes they have specific monasteries just for women.
@@nickkeomahavong01 Okay, thank u🙏
My mom and everyone in my moms side is Buddhist’s, I live in Sweden where there isn’t that much Buddhist people so, I’m trying to learn more about it so I one day can go back to Thailand to my family and the temples there.
