Master Ben Huan: Can I become a monk when I am old?

Buddhism stipulates that you can become a monk from the age of 7 to 70.

However, modern Buddhist temples, unlike ancient Buddhist temples, cannot support too many elderly people. This practical difficulty leads to many monasteries unable to accept the elderly to become monks, and it is even more difficult for the elderly over 50 to become monks.
