Ordaining as Buddhist Monk in the Theravada with Nisabho Bhikku 

This is a recording of a conversation between Ajahn Nisabho Bhikku, a monastic in the Thai Forest Tradition, and Aaron Stryker, a founder of Dharma Gates.
Nisabho Bhikku and Aaron discuss the topic of ordination - how does the calling to ordain show up for us? How should we follow it? When should a person not ordain? What does it really mean to be a Buddhist monk?
In the course of the episode, Nisabho Bhikku refers to a number of Buddhist communities and monasteries, which are linked here:
