One must study in a Buddhist institute to become a true monk, which is known as renunciation. This block of houses built next to the Buddhist Academy are the last accommodations where generations of monks stay before they become true monks! A monk is leaving his last home in the world of common people and making his way to the Holy Land to become a true monk!
