Entering the monastery is called "dragon initiation".
The meaning of the word "dragon" here does not refer to the dragon, but means "excellent, high, sublime." Therefore, "Dragon Baptism" focuses on those who have a higher status, a better person who has given up all sins.
The Buddha gave this name to anyone who is willing to give up evil deeds and return to building dharma.

those who went to study in the pagoda had to spend at least one year (one year) to be able to rebuild their lives
as ordinary people.
