I have a question. Can foreigners become monks? I am serious. He's in pain. He 18 years old, British, wants to be a monk in China for one year.

1. Generally, China Mahayana Buddhism, as long as you are willing to convert, you can become a lay disciple.

2. Ordinary monks and lay disciples can apply to live in a temple to see the conditions. Generally, accommodation can be provided (free of charge), and some people have to pay 30-50 yuan/day.

Not knowing Chinese is not impossible, but it is very troublesome.

4. The temples in Beijing are all now. . . A little commercialized. . . If he is sincere, he can go to Berlin Zen Temple in Zhao County, Hebei Province. Every year from June to July, Li Xiaying has free food, accommodation and practice for two weeks. Just register him in advance. You can also apply to live in a temple in peacetime. The temples there are strictly supervised and more authentic.

The word "monk" is misinterpreted by modern people as a name for a monk, but in fact only the "host" in the temple can call it "monk", so it is difficult for him to become a monk.

6. But if he wants to become a monk, he just needs to be accepted in the temple, which depends on the people in the temple.

7. In fact, he doesn't have to take Buddhism too seriously, but reading their books is also quite interesting. (Choose the right book, of course)
