Open to male aspirants under the age of 45 who are free of dependents and debts, and who are in good physical and mental health.
长期出家的申请条件为45岁以下的男性，没有眷属与负债，且身心健康。

Upon receiving your application form, we will screen it for suitability and may invite you to attend an interview at our monastery. If you exhibit potential, we will schedule you for another formal interview with the Abbot. The successful applicant will then be granted permission to stay in the monastery as a lay postulant to accustom to the monastic’s daily lifestyle. 

The lay postulant will undergo the process of ordination in two stages:

First stage: he will become a novice monk (sāmaṇera) and live within the monastic community, where the basic training of monkhood will be taught.
Second stage: he will undergo the triple platform (higher) ordination to become a full-fledged monk (bhikkhu) and be granted full monastic status and responsibilities.

After that, the bhikkhu is expected to stay in KMSPKS as a Sangha member and be instructed by Abbot.

收到申请者的出家申请表格后，寺院将进行审核筛选并安排面试。若申请者通过第一次面试，寺院将安排申请者与方丈的第二次面试。两次面试通过以后，申请者将获准以居士净人的身份留在寺院，配合寺院的作息。

申请者将进行两个阶段的受戒仪式：

第一阶段：受沙弥戒，在寺院里接受基本修道训练。
第二阶段：受三坛大戒成为比丘，担负如来家业的重任。

之后，申请者将以比丘的身份留在寺院，接受方丈的指导。

在我们的寺院中，僧人的日常作息如下：

* Timetable subject to change. 时间表将可能更动。

The process of becoming a competent Buddhist monk can take years of practice. It involves comprehending the bhikkhu precepts, studying the ancient texts, developing a spiritual practice that includes meditating, chanting, and prostration, and mastering other skills necessary to fulfil his appointment in the monastery.

成为一名合格的佛教僧人需要多年的修习，其中包括理解比丘戒律、研究佛教经典、落实各种修行（如禅修、念诵、礼拜等）以及掌握在寺院中履行职责所需要的技能。

If a sāmaṇera or bhikkhu wishes to disrobe and return to lay status, he should officially inform the Abbot of his decision and be formally guided in the disrobing process before leaving the monastery.
如果一位沙弥或比丘希望还俗回归居士身份，应当正式向方丈禀报自己的决定，并在离开寺院前接受正式指导，进行还俗程序。

Yes, they can. You are allowed to maintain contact with them. You are encouraged to inspire them through your self-transformation and knowledge of the Dharma.
