Young Child Buddhist Monks at Thailand Temple

http://ThaiAmuletSales.com - Young Buddhist monks bang the gong at a temple in Sisaket, Thailand. Children at this age often ordain as monks at a temple for a few days or weeks to get a taste of what it's like. Some will go on to ordain later in life, others not.

These are NOT monks, they are novices. To ordain a monk you must be 20 years old. I notice that people are always calling novices monks...nope.

@uilium It would be difficult, but not impossible, to keep the mind off of sex

Wow! What are they going to do at puberty! That would be hard to keep the mind off of certain defilements that come at that age.

To add to the description bar; I am told it is often considered to be favourable to have spent some time as a monk before getting married. My partner may do that again before we tie the knot. I will try too, even though I don't have to. It's a sort of rite of passage. Although it's not essential it reflects well on your character to have tried it at least once for as long as you like / can.

Kids will also come to the monastry to get a free education - the monks will teach them to read etc and the food is all free [provided by the local people]
