Parents of Sangha

If you’re a Sangha member and your parents is on Facebook, do get them to join in the Parents of Sangha Facebook support group. Or if you know a Sangha member (Bhikkhu, Bhukkhuni, samanera, samaneri, sikkhamānā) who’s in it for life (not temporary ordination), can share to them to ask their parents to join in the group.

If you’re intending to renounce and have trouble getting parent’s permission, can have your parents join in and maybe other parents can help address their concerns and hopefully you get to renounce.

Issues which can be discussed in the group includes but not limited to: end of life care, financial concerns, emotional processing of child going forth, what monastic life is like, support for the child etc.

Any feedback on what other channels is suitable or best is welcomed. The target age group should be at least 40 years old, given that minimum age for full ordination is 20 years old. So I am thinking that those age group should have Facebook, not so much tik tok or other social media. I doubt any parents of Sangha hangs out here.

It is said that the Venerable Moggaliputta tissa has answered to the King Asoka "No, you don't have any ownership in the Buddha Sasana, until you ordain one of your own child."
