สรุปเนื้อหา
The Buddha's teachings emphasize that before becoming monks, individuals are ordinary laypeople burdened by life's responsibilities. Laypeople often pursue temporary pleasures, such as sensual gratification, which can distract from the pursuit of enlightenment. Monks believe that the happiness derived from meditation surpasses that of worldly pleasures, leading them to choose celibacy and focus on attaining true, lasting happiness. Thus, they turn away from sensual joys for a deeper connection to Dhamma and enlightenment.

Buddhist View on Sex
Luang Phaw: One thing you have to bear in mind is that before
leading a life in priesthood, all Buddhist monks were
once ordinary laypeople. But they consider the life of
laypeople full of burdens and responsibilities which
prevent them from gaining insight about the truth of
life and Dhamma. Laypeople busy their lives with
earning money, family matters and life problems. To
avoid all these life fetters, one needs to get ordained
which will help them achieve the goal of
enlightenment. Sensual pleasure is considered
temporary happiness which lasts for short period.
This kind of pleasure is compared with having a
meal. Our hunger will be relieved for a short while and
we have to satisfy our needs again in the next meal.
Buddhist monks consider happiness from meditation
to exceed worldly happiness. Meditation generates true
happiness which cannot be found elsewhere. For
the sake of this true happiness, monks choose to turn
their back on worldly pleasure and practice celibacy.
