<p>I am a 24 year old male and i am very interested in joining a Buddhist monastery and becoming a monk so that i can give my life a right and peaceful purpose. 
But my parents follow Hinduism and think that this religion is superior of all so they don't want me to become a Buddhist and also becoming a Buddhist monk. 
So i don't have their permission to join a Buddhist monastery. They are self dependent and don't need any help from me. </p>

<p>So how can i become a monk? </p>

The duplicate or previous question do not have a proper answer. I already read that but didn't find the answer.

According to ruben202's answer, you do need your parent's permission -- that's not the answer you want, but maybe an answer nevertheless. Have you tried asking this question at a monastery?

I am a 24 year old male and i am very interested in joining a Buddhist monastery and becoming a monk so that i can give my life a right and peaceful purpose.
But my parents follow Hinduism and think that this religion is superior of all so they don't want me to become a Buddhist and also becoming a Buddhist monk.

So how can i become a monk?
