Why did Sue become a monk?

Su He is a genius in modern history, and they have profound attainments in their respective fields: Su's poems are fresh and meaningful, and they are called "poets in the spiritual world"; He also translated Les Miserables (unfinished), and Lin Shu and Yan Fu were promoted to top translators in the third year of this century. Li Shutong was the first person to introduce western oil painting to China. He is also considered as the four pioneers of modern music in China. Music Magazine, which he founded, was the first publication in China to spread western music. The most familiar is outside the pavilion, next to the ancient road. ......

But they all became monks. Why? I think it has something to do with their times. They are in an era of alternation between the old and the new, and there has been a religious revival in society. It is understandable that one's own thoughts are beyond the secular world and one becomes a monk.

Secondly, their family background is very miserable, so it is difficult for them to have a sense of belonging and attachment to others, and naturally it is easy to enter Buddhism.

The most important thing is the disillusionment of their ideals and ambitions. Full of patriotism and wanted everywhere, I can only choose this way to express my personal thoughts and ambitions in another world.

In fact, many strange people in history will choose the road of becoming a monk. I think this is also a lifestyle I choose, because I have nothing to pursue in this field.

Su was born in an era of alternation between the old and the new. Under the specific historical conditions at that time, there was a wave of religious revival in society. Their seclusion and pursuit of Buddhism are natural choices under the influence of this social, cultural and psychological situation.
