Buddha is the Buddha of Sakyamuni. He is a human living in ancient India, the founder of Buddhist monks, the discoverer and the original disseminator of Buddhism.
Buddhism was said when the Buddha was alive. The main contents are origin, four noble truths, four thoughts, eight right paths, twelve causes and so on. These things can be learned slowly after conversion.
A monk is a monk. They are the disseminators of Buddhism and the defenders of the image of Buddhism.
Before converting, take your ID card to the temple. Every temple has different requirements. You have to hand in some one-inch or two-inch photos.

It will be over in less than two hours. At the conversion ceremony, Master will teach you how to do it.
