불교 이야기: 출가의 공덕８부 중 1부

If you had seen Buddha and became His monks, then you have such and such merit. Even the Buddha is not there anymore, if you follow His teaching as written, keep the precepts as the monk does, and are very sincere in your heart, really want liberation, then you will also attain a high level. Because they realize already it is all illusion, it’s all ephemeral. This is the ideal that makes them a monk. They really don’t care about all this gain and fame on this planet. That is monkhood. Nothing you really desire from this world, you really want to be liberated. The best is you want to become Buddha, a great enlightened being, then you can help others.
