Belgian boy prevented from flying to India to become a monk Look at this sad image even supported by
Bhikkhus . I guess that gives a good impression how less faith is put into Buddhas Path even by monks.
Rather then to explain the benefits and to search and advise for best solutions for a young being eager to walk the holy path, this issue is a topic of the lounge and a remote diagnostics to give a image of Buddhas teachings fitting to our general tendencies of today, make it pleasant without the need to struggle with justificatory arguments.
It is total normal in Asia that a young boy would even join with 8 or 9 years association with the Sangha as Novice and here, where one could be sure that the boy naturally out of broader education would have more possibilities to judge his ways, it come to a national issue. Such is the bondage and force to stay within the strange ways of society and their monks, unwholsesome depending on society, having brought their ways already to secular dimensions, advocate the pulling back and stay within Samsaras way, not loosing one single manpower for its turning maintained.
Even thought there is no reasoning but tanha that counts for such positions and the intellectual understanding that nothing but the own volition forms the results is present, people lacking on trust, would seek security in keeping things they assume to be secure. Would like to know how they think if the boy later on brings him self into real troubles when seeing no alternatives. I guess they would say: "See, he was not mature and it was good to pull a wandering back." That is really sad, but "true"
May mistrust, the basic hindrance for the first steps into own experiences vanish as much as possible and may the young boy get the change to his wholsesome ways.
There would be not a sentences if another boy chooses drugs with 15, but that or to buy alcohol or consume other addiction, driving motorbike, even to start a relation ... is fully ok.
Holly molly what a fear to loose another slave! Or is it jealousy that pulls back. Everybody knows, if he/she examine the arising of fear.
