Re: Is Jamyang Losel a monk?
Okay. I learned today what that means from Dalai Lama's website.
The getsuls/getsulmas (novice monks and nuns) keep vows similar to the fully ordained monks. All the eight different pratimoksha vows are meant for a whole life from and not just a part of one's life, except for the one-day fasting upavasa vows. Therefore, the motivation must be for the rest of one's life while taking the getsul, getsulma, and gelong ordinations.

The Vinaya rules allow for hair to be grown as long as two finger-widths. But as with anything, there are exceptions. I know fully ordained monastics who grow their hair out fully and their teachers are okay with it for one reason or another.Nalanda wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 2:06 am https://sakyakachodcholing.org/blueflower/
