Hello srivijaya,

For sangha, it's a burden they have put down. If they cannot, then they can disrobe and do what they want. I tend to think that taking ordination is an act of great will. Individuals see that they don't have forever to get it sorted. Respect to them for that choice. How about the monks who were brought to the temple at a very young age by their parents? did they have a choice?

Actually this whole discussion reminded me of my favourite movie "Samsara". I know that its only a movie but the message conveyed is so powerful in my opinion.

I would not ask you to watch the whole movie, but ony a small part (from 6:35 till 8:00 which is one minute and 25 seconds only)
