In Buddhism
General definition (in Buddhism)
Source: Google Books: Selected Studies on Ritual in the Indian Religions (Buddhism)Ehibhikkhu according to Buddhaghosa in his commentary on the Vinaya: “An ehibhikkhu is someone who has received monkhood and the ehibhikkhu-ordination merely by the Lord’s words: ‘Come, monk’. For the Lord, having seen a person who has attained the qualification for ehibhikkhu-hood, having touched him with his golden hand from his red robe made of rags, says to him, uttering his brahma-sound: ‘Come, monk, follow the religious life to the complete destruction of suffering’. At the same moment that the Lord utters these words the outward signs of a householder disappear, the entrance into religious life as well as ordination are effected and he becomes bald and dressed in (the three) yellow robes, having dressed himself with one of these, having covered himself with another, having placed one over his (right) shoulder, over his left shoulder he hangs his bowl of clay, which has the colour of the blue lotus—thus, with the said eight requisites fastened on his body, he stands there, looking like a senior monk who has spent sixty yearly rain-retreats, possessed of good behavior, having the Buddha as his teacher and his preceptor, honouring the fully enlightened one”.
