I'd certainly consider ordination if I wasn't pursuing a career in the sciences and preparing to start a family...Thus, I plan for a life of lay practice, though I'd like to receive at least one (Vajrayana) Empowerment during my life and attend at least one meditation retreat.

I'm curious to see how many people here would ever consider being ordained as a monk or a nun. Why would you want to? Why would you not want to? What are some of the benefits, you perceive as being offered by ordination? What are some of the challenges you think you would face be being ordained? Do you think you could keep all the necessary vows?


If I wasn't already planning on opening homeless shelters and becomming an art teacher, I would. Plus I've already sold my soul to the USAF for 6 years, but after that, I hope to open those shelters. It's been my life dream for such a long time.

But if all else fails, I would not mind becoming a nun.
