The procession is ready to begin. At the head of the procession are John Massey's closest friends who, according to the Renunciation of Prince Siddhatha Gotama, are to try to dissuade him from his objective with their worldly lives. This is not taken seriously and any attempts are made in fun. To John's left is another American Buddhist who is holding the begging bowl that he will offer John once he is ordained. Traditionally, the monks beg for their daily food during morning rounds through the village. <br /><br />Ordination of Novice Monk, photograph 17 of 30, from Cambodian Traditional Crafts and Religious Ceremonies. <br /><br />View the Ordination of Novice Monk group of photographs in order on the Internet Archive, <a href="https://archive.org/details/OrdinationNoviceMonk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://archive.org/details/OrdinationNoviceMonk</a>.

The second day of the ordination begins after the usual daily prayer and noon meal. John Massey dresses into the outfit he wore the previous day and the lay women offer the individual members of the laity flowers and candles and three sticks of incense in preparation for the procession that is the next step in the ordination ceremony. The laity begins to assemble outside the temple and John's robes are placed in a silver tray which will be balanced on the head of a lay woman who will lead the procession at John's side. The Konrope Trie described earlier (see the full chapter on the Ordination of the Novice Monk) is placed over the robes. Participation in the ordination is considered to be a valuable means of earning merit especially to those who are directly involved, such as the woman carrying the tray. <br /><br />Ordination of Novice Monk, photograph 15 of 30, from Cambodian Traditional Crafts and Religious Ceremonies. <br /><br />View the Ordination of Novice Monk group of photographs in order on the Internet Archive, <a href="https://archive.org/details/OrdinationNoviceMonk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://archive.org/details/OrdinationNoviceMonk</a>.

Venerable Sao Khon sprays the candidate then the laity with holy water. This is a means of sharing the merit earned by the ordination. Earning merit in order to gain power over the agents of causation, which determine worldly prosperity and the plane of existence of future lives, is at the heart of popular Buddhist belief. This marks the end of the first day of the ordination ceremony. <br /><br />Ordination of Novice Monk, photograph 14 of 30, from Cambodian Traditional Crafts and Religious Ceremonies. <br /><br />View the Ordination of Novice Monk group of photographs in order on the Internet Archive, <a href="https://archive.org/details/OrdinationNoviceMonk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://archive.org/details/OrdinationNoviceMonk</a>.

The monks have returned from downstairs to conduct the chanting that will bless the ordained and the laity. The monks are led in the chanting by the abbot, Venerable Sao Khon (background). Venerable Sao Khon was consulted to determine and auspicious day to perform the ordination ceremony. It is believed that this day must be in harmony with the ordained's personal orientation to the stars and planets. <br /><br />Ordination of Novice Monk, photograph 12 of 30, from Cambodian Traditional Crafts and Religious Ceremonies. <br /><br />View the Ordination of Novice Monk group of photographs in order on the Internet Archive, <a href="https://archive.org/details/OrdinationNoviceMonk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://archive.org/details/OrdinationNoviceMonk</a>.

John Massey's mother (right). Before the ordination ceremony is performed it is necessary for the candidate to receive his parent's permission to enter the monastic order. The candidate must also be free of debt.

John Massey, his family, and friends enjoy a special meal of rice soup called bau bau. This will be John's last meal as a member of the lay community. After today he is not allowed to eat after the noon hour. The monks who reside in the temple will remain downstairs in their living quarters until the meal is finished. Traditionally, meals would be eaten in another room or building out of view of the Buddha statue; this, however, is one of many digressions from strict observance that the Cambodian Community of Lowell has had to make in re-establishing Buddhism in the Greater Lowell area. <br /><br />Ordination of Novice Monk, photograph 5 of 30, from Cambodian Traditional Crafts and Religious Ceremonies. <br /><br />View the Ordination of Novice Monk group of photographs in order on the Internet Archive, <a href="https://archive.org/details/OrdinationNoviceMonk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://archive.org/details/OrdinationNoviceMonk</a>.

The ceremony follows the Renunciation of Prince Siddhatha Gotama who was the Buddha in his last incarnation. On the first day of the ceremony, the candidate dresses as a prince. His head, eyebrows, and facial hair are shaved by a monk of the temple, the first step in the renunciation of worldly ambitions. <br /><br />Ordination of Novice Monk, photograph 1 of 30, from Cambodian Traditional Crafts and Religious Ceremonies. <br /><br />View the Ordination of Novice Monk group of photographs in order on the Internet Archive, <a href="https://archive.org/details/OrdinationNoviceMonk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://archive.org/details/OrdinationNoviceMonk</a>.
