Young to be bhikkhus

"Let's only becomes monk when we are old, for when we are young we can just do many good deeds", This is the thinking of most Chinese in Malaysia. This thinking is wrong said Sayadaw U Vimala in tonight Dhamma Talk at BMBMC.
Just like what Venerable Mahapala did in renouncing his household life to become a bhikkhus much to the opposition by his brother Subapala who thinks just like what Chinese Malaysian think.
Monastic life is better than ordinary layman life as there are less social life as a bhikkhus. Even though there are Ariyans who are laypersons but it is more difficult to achieve as a layperson compared to that of a bhikkhu.
Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
