Question

Hello Master,

Can a couple, a wife and husband around 55, become a nun and monk together?

Thank you.

Lucrecia Andres

Master Kosen’s answer

To receive ordination as a monk or nun, you must first receive bodhisattva ordination. Ordinations take place during the last session of summer camp. It is preferable to attend the entire camp so you can sew your rakusu, the ordination garment. You can do it together.
