filthy body in his next TRANSPORTATION.
When a boy enters a monastery he
lays aside his good clothes and puts OH

His head is now shaved. and he goes
forth to beg. No matter what his cir
cumstances may have been. while he Is
in the monastery he must live upon the
gifts of the people, and he goes forth
daily with his begging bowl and takes
what is offered. He does this no matter
how high he rises nor how long he
stays.
