Let’s look at some monks and nuns nowadays, playing with their mobile phones, surfing the Internet, and driving cars. How is this like practice? They regard being a monk and nun as a profitable profession.
Once, I had a meal with a few friends, and a friend said that one of his relatives was working as a monk. I immediately became interested in his relative, so I asked him, "Your relative is a monk, so can he get married?"
He said, "The current monk is different from the previous monks. The current monk can get married. The current monk is a profession. My relative's monthly income is more than 6,000 yuan. He used to work in a company and worked as an operator. His monthly salary is only about 4,000 yuan. One year on the eve of the Spring Festival, he returned to his hometown in the countryside and heard a monk who was a monk in his hometown village say that he was a monk. The monthly income can reach 5,000 or 6,000 yuan, so he followed the monk in his hometown village to be a monk. "
After hearing his words, I asked him again: "Do your relative who is a monk eats meat and drinks?"
He thought for a while, and then said: "I guess they don't eat meat and drinks in the temple, but it's hard to say outside the temple. Anyway, many monks are not practicing sincerely, and their purpose is to make money."
To be honest, I have been to some temples, but I never burn incense. Because I think burning incense in such a temple is meaningless. If burning in such a temple, it is purely to make money in the temple. I would like to say here that some temples do not allow donors to bring incense to the temple to burn incense themselves, and they must buy incense in the temple to burn incense. The purpose of doing this is purely to make money. Is it meaningful to burn incense in such a temple?
In addition, I think that Buddha does not exist in this world. If the Buddha exists, why doesn’t the Buddha punish these monks and nuns who aim to make money?
