Ajahn Sudhiro - Being a monk depends on you

After completing the upasampada ordination ceremony, the upajjhaya (preceptor) told him: "Now the ordination is finished, but whether you are going to be a monk or not, that depends on you." The upajjhaya can only present the candidate to the Sangha and they will accept him as a new monk, but it is up to him whether he will really become a "bhikkhu".
