Is it better to be a nun or a monk?

Like the title, is it possible to choose between a monk or a nun? Men become monks and women become nuns. Determined by gender.

Now let’s talk about being happy as a nun and a monk. I will tell you my feelings from the perspective of a layman

If you are very happy in society, why should you become a monk? There are many factors for becoming a monk, but you will not become a monk without a certain motivation. This motivation comes from the resistance that society imposes on individuals. Monks use resistance as motivation to become a monk. Generally a bit of a escapist feeling, maybe they are unhappy in the first place.

As for being very happy after becoming a monk, people are adaptable to a certain extent and will accept their own decisions. When you adapt, you will naturally become happy. When a person can eat well and is not under external pressure, he can always find some happy things to entertain himself.

As for whether their happiness is really happiness, I think it may be happiness, but it is not real happiness, because real happiness does not have to go to the temple to find it.

Those who truly see through the world of mortals don’t need to become a monk. Since there is still a home there after seeing through the world of mortals, they are all homes.

Of course, monasteries also play a role. After all, the competition in society is too great.

Everyone’s situation is different. When the pressure from society exceeds what an individual wants to bear, You can consider changing your lifestyle. Everyone has this right. Therefore, a temple is like a lake. When there is too much water in the river, it will accommodate some of the water, and when there is little water in the river, some of it will be dispersed.

Besides, what you see is HAPPY. In fact, there are also those who are not. The sect is similar to reality, but there is less fraud than in society. It is just a matter of quantity. In essence, everyone Same.

If you think that you will be happy after becoming a monk, you are wrong. The key is whether becoming a monk is in line with your own situation. If it is, then you will be good. If it is not, then you will become a monk. If you follow others blindly, you can only become a slave.
