Therefore, Buddhist monks actually follow the steps of the Buddha.
The Jataka tales have it that the Buddha cut his hair with a sword. After the novice stage, nuns may become Rassophores, and then Stavrophores. In fact, there's nothing wrong with self-discipline, period.
Also, as a result of living in self-sufficient communities they planted and harvested crops, as well as raised animals.
That is to say, since the Buddha himself did it and achieved nirvana, they can also do the same.
no they do not have a dress code however the monks nuns and priests do. They do this through a series of rituals which begin on the new moon and ends on the full moon. There is no need for nuns to shave: they wear head to toe clothing and they … Anyone remember what those are?
They see the Buddha as a role model.
... How did nuns during the martial law period use their dress to fight the martial law regime?
Sisters of the Valley / Facebook This period is the only time in which they manufacture their products.
The different levels that nuns progress through do not have set time limits and nuns are not required to pass beyond a certain stage, but at least three years must pass between each stage. For many people, the day-to-day lives of nuns is a mystery, since they often live, pray and work within the confines of a monastery. I was surprised by some of the responses I got…
I feel a connection with nuns (without the Catholicism). At the Stavrophore stage, nuns make their profession and are given a new name. These nuns are a barmy bunch who have completely lost their way. Honestly, have you ever thought about whether or nuns shave their legs and arm pits? I’ve given it quite a bit of thought. It's a virtue. Hence, they shave their heads to live out the lifestyle of the Buddha. Nuns are on covenant for life. Monks and nuns spent their days praying, translating texts, and studying Christianity.
I read accounts in articles and on web sites of Christmas at monasteries. I called a cloistered Carmelite convent and asked what the nuns do for Christmas. There is nothing wrong with living a life of celibacy if that's what God calls you to do and you have the self-discipline to do so. Plus, I don’t shave. The nuns infuse their products with spirituality. This Advent, I have asked the Friars, Priests and Sisters what they do for Christmas in their communities. Nuns are Roman Catholic women who have devoted their lives to serving Jesus Christ. They are part of a tradition that dates back centuries, to the very beginnings of the Catholic Church. They have committed their lives to focusing on no other man but Christ. Nuns did the same, however, they lived in a different, secluded community called a convent. Why don't they just do the decent thing and leave the Catholic Church.
