Buddhist devotees from Thailand take up monkhood in Bodh Gaya Bodh
Gaya: Two Buddhist devotees from Thailand, on a visit to India, have taken
-up monk-hood in Bodh Gaya on Saturday. They were accompanied by hundreds of devotees
who had come with them from Thailand. The devotees took up monk-hood under the
Bodhi Tree amid the chanting of sacred hymns. Bante Achan Vichian, a Buddhist
Monk said that if one takes up monk-hood he can lead a peaceful and successful
life. "For some of the layman who wants to become a monk we believe that if you
come under the Bodhi Tree your life will be peaceful and successful so that's
why two Thai Buddhist devotees who wanted to become monks came to India and made
a function for the audience," said Vichian. They were ushered into monk-hood with
full religious ceremonies conducted by Bodh Dharam gurus. A Buddhist is one who
takes refuge in the three jewels: the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha.
