Buddhist Teaching and Spiritual Guide

Before taking ordination, you showed know the Buddha teaching. Buddha said that first, you have to learn or study the teaching then practice it in your life if you like continuous it otherwise leaves it. Same here also first you have to understand Buddhist Psychology and practice it. you need someone who teaches and guide you without qualified teacher you cannot do true spiritual journey because you need guidance to practice. Our teacher can help you to provide the foundation for the monastic life as well as to understand when you are ready to take monastic vows of a teacher who can give you permission to take full ordination.
