To become an abbot, one typically begins by entering a monastic community as a monk, undergoing a period of spiritual formation and training in the community's practices and teachings. After demonstrating commitment and spiritual maturity, monks may be elected or appointed as abbot by their peers or higher ecclesiastical authority, often after serving in roles of increasing responsibility. The abbot is expected to lead the community, uphold its traditions, and guide members in their spiritual development. This process can vary significantly depending on the specific monastic order or tradition.
