The first question I have to ask myself before going farther down this path is “why”? Why do I want to become a monk? Why not a priest? Or better yet, why not both? What is it about monkhood that has been calling me for the part several years?
If I’m the only person in this religion, is there a point to any of the options?
If I decide on any of the options, how will that change my practice? Or my life? What vows would I take? Would I follow the new monastic movement?
So many questions.
