Why do monks shave their heads and practice? Is there any difference in practicing with hair?

It makes no difference whether you scrape or not. If you learn Buddhism to a certain extent, you won't be obsessed with everything and care about superficial phenomena! You don't have to shave it off. Did the Buddha say that you can't become a Buddha without shaving your head? It's just that there are such rules in the temple! Moreover, it is also the unified image of monks!

A monk shaving his head has three meanings. First, according to Buddhism, hair represents countless troubles and wrong habits in the world. Cutting off hair is equivalent to removing troubles and wrong habits; Second, cutting off the hair is equivalent to removing the pride and neglect of the world; Get rid of all troubles and practice wholeheartedly. In ancient China, people regarded hair as very important, thinking that it was obtained from parents, so it must be protected and not damaged, otherwise it would be disrespectful to parents. Buddhism demands that these unnecessary family concerns be cut off; The third is to distinguish other sects in India. At that time, India was full of sects. But when people see a bald head, they know it's a Buddhist. Later, shaving became a Buddhist ceremony.
