Can Buddhist monks charge for taking disciples?

Buddhist laymen are not even qualified, let alone charged.

First of all, the layman's point of view is that white clothes rise to the top, which is a taboo of Buddhism. Secondly, the lay man has no ability and qualification to plant blessings for all beings. Being supported for nothing is tantamount to borrowing usury, and he can't afford it in the future. Not only can you not charge, but even your apprentice should not admit it.
