受戒

bù shòu jiè shì zhēn zhèng de zì yóu ma

不受戒是真正的“自由”吗？

Will "not receiving precepts" give you true freedom?

我猜他可能是在曼谷受戒的。

I guess he might get ordained from Bangkok.

他靠近佛陀，请求受戒成为比丘。

He approached the Lord Buddha and requested ordination as a Bhikkhu.

wǒ jiāng yǒng bù zuò yī gè kǔ xíng zhě rú guǒ tā bù hé wǒ yī tóng shòu jiè

我将永不做一个苦行者，如果她不和我一同受戒。

I shall never be an ascetic if she does not take the vow with me.

xiǎo hé shang hái méi yǒu dào shòu jiè nián líng jiù jiào zuò shā mí

小和尚还没有到受戒年龄，就叫做沙弥。

A little monk who is not old enough to get ordained is called a novice monk.
