What is the purpose of becoming a bhikkhu? How should one get about being a bhikkhu? What are the rituals and meditations which one should observe as a bhikkhu? How should a bhikkhu prepare his robes and behave when accepting alms? – The learned thera explains all, which has been translated into lucid English by D.J. Percy Silva. It is a handbook to be cherished by all the bhikkhus in the Theravada tradition.
