Buddhist precepts of monks

Monk is the abbreviation of Sangha, which means "the masses". Buddhists are divided into men and women who stay at home and men and women who become monks. Monks and nuns must form a sangha in groups of at least four. Monks are individuals composed of men and women who become monks. Monks are called monks according to the Ten Commandments and monks according to the Foot Commandments. A woman who becomes a monk is called Shamini by the Ten Commandments and Bhikuni by the Foot Commandments. According to the Buddhist system, shaving one's hair, dyeing clothes and getting ordained are the necessary conditions for obtaining the qualification to become a monk. After receiving the full precepts, monks should live a quiet and thrifty life according to the precepts, including no killing, no stealing, no fornication, no nonsense, no tongue-tied, no swearing, no drinking, no burning incense and decorations, no singing and dancing, no sitting in a spacious bed, no accepting gold and silver treasures, no buying and selling, no fortune telling, no bullying, no robbing and intimidating others, and so on. Monks can't pray for people to eliminate disasters, nor can they pray for God's forgiveness. He is not a bridge between man and god, but a monk for liberation. Monks' energy is mainly used for study and practice. The content of learning and practicing is mainly the teaching and doctrine of Buddhist scriptures, and its methods vary from sect to sect. The monks living in Wutai Mountain earnestly observe the precepts, not only devote themselves to study and practice, but also have the responsibility to protect and maintain the temple.
