Before entering the ordination, a faithful son of
Buddism needs to practice the ordainable request
and procedure, and prepares the eight requisites

needle, a girdle, and a piece of waterfilter cloth).
On the ordination day, the appricant’s head,
beard, and mustache is shaved; also his nails is
cut. Before get in to a chapel, he needs to make a
triple circumambulation around the consecrate
convention hall while holding flower, joss sticks,
60. and candle with his palms together. The meaning
of the procedure is to pay respect to the the Triple
Gem (Lord Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha)…
After that, the ordinard (or Naga) may ask for
forgiveness from the abbot by light the joss sticks
and candle, then bow to the abbot three times.
The ordinard stand up then say:
Ukāsa vandāmi bhante // sabbaṃ aparā dhaṃ
khamatha me bhante // mayā kataṃ puññaṃ sāminā
anumoditabbaṃ // samina kataṃ puññaṃ mayhaṃ
dātabaṃ // sadhu / sadhu / sadhu / anumodami //
