Poy Sang Long

Poy Sang pertinacious is a rite of characterization practiced in Thailand and Myanmar. Its common chord days and it involves kids age 7 to 14 dressed like Buddhas son. The children ride on an adults back for two days and on the third gear day they go to a monastery where they have to live for at least a week or more. I debate this is a neat custom for all these children because they have fun participating in the feast for two days and after that they decide if they unavoidableness to stay in the monastery for more the a week so its their decision if they want to become monks.I also animadvert that the custom show pornographic in these kids because their knowledge increases and they come back from the monastery as new population who know more active their own devotion . I would in spades do this rite of passage because it would give me a clear understating of how Buddhistic live and I testament learn martial arts on the way. If I really had a chance to do it I would be excited and interested in changing up my daily routine. The and thing that would give me trouble would be the 6 hours of meditating daily.I think the true purpose of this rite is to show uniqueness in Buddhism because I have never even heard of any skilful of passage close to that one. One of the main purposes is also to respect Buddha who stated that this will be a rite of passage for all the young children. The benefits of this right of passage are that people will gather to a transmit event, kids will have fun and they will learn about their religion and they will experience what is like to live with monks.I also think that this right of passage can be harmful because of the discrimination against women. In a way its great that children learn so numerous new things but its only for boys so the girls are not allowed. And if I was a girl and I see my male conversance and my brother lets say for example I would lease my self why. Why am I different, why cant I have fun like t hem and why cant a become a monk. All this thoughts will stay in the girls intellectual and later on affect her by maybe lowering her self esteem and changing her beliefs about males.The three stage process about right of passage is to change from what you are to just aboutthing new, to remove yourself from the society temporarily and to be re-admitted as a new person in the society. In Poy Sang Long the children change from being goofs to being smaller goofs in way because they learn about Zen meditation and they learn to chair their emotions better. They are removed from the society by going to a monastery for a period of time and they are re-admitted back after the period is done. I think that this rite of passage follows the threes stage process but it varies because some of the children may become real monks.
