Are they the wise one? What do you think?
I have read somewhere that each party is here to supplement each other in that, the monk is here to teach us the dharma and the sangha is here to provide support the monks and nuns by providing them with the basic five (5) types of dana ( i am still trying to find out the exact types of dana as was voice out by the buddha, i will post it when i find it ). I also recalled some wise chap mentioned that we should help them in their quest of leaving the homelife by not attracting them with too much worldly attractions. Personally, i think persons that have just left the homelife should not be shower with too much respect otherwise, it will be their downfall.
In my last post, i mentioned that there are five (5) basic requisites for a bhikkhu, sorry for i made a mistakes, it should be four (4) and they are i. robes, ii alms, iii. lodging and iv. medicine
Sadhu sadhu brothers and sisters
