It's also worth noting that being a Buddhist monk is not necessarily a permanent commitment particularly for young boys.

Quote:
In Thailand and Burma, it is common for boys to spend some time living as a monk in a monastery. Most stay for only a few years and then leave, but a number continue on in the ascetic life for the rest of their lives.
