Always, our impression of monks is that the ancient Buddha is green lamp and dedicated to practicing. However, in recent years, many "monks" wearing monk robes and shaved heads have wandered around the streets and alleys. They beg for alms, sell plasters everywhere, and even show palmistries to the donors. Then please note that they are all fake monks.
It is precisely because of the existence of these fake monks that rumors about monks and temples are everywhere:
In January 2018, a monk sold Shaolin secret plasters;
In April 2018, a group of monks came to Xingtai, Hebei to promote soap, and they were dizzy when they smelled it;
In August 2018, Kunming Yuantong Temple launched a new business: extra 500 yuan to reincarnate in the United States in the next life;
In August 2018, Taishan Puzhao Temple earned 80,000 yuan a month to recruit monks...
The editor divided these scams into three categories: the sheep head represented by "fake monk begging alms", the dog meat series, and the wolf come series represented by "monks selling soap", and the runner-up monks cannot runner-up temple series.
Fake monk begging for alms: hanging sheep's head, selling dog meat
In January 2018, at the Huangbu Farmers' Market in Shangyou County, Jiangxi , two "Shaolin monks" sold Shaolin secret plasters to passers-by to cure all diseases, and claimed that "I regret it for my life if I miss it..." Don't 998, don't 666, only 30 to 90 yuan, this magic pill that "not buy ruins my life" can be obtained.
Shaolin monks did not eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name in the temple, but changed their careers and became doctors in the martial arts world? This wave of operations is confusing. After verification by local police, the "Empressed Monk" was missed. The leaflets, Shaolin Zen Temple price list, and fundraising receipts held by the two are all street stalls. The so-called "Shaolin Kidney Treasure Plaster" costs only a few cents, and the tiger skin plaster costs 30 yuan. Is this a middleman making a profit of the price difference? When selling medicine, the two of them would also lie that they would deceive passers-by to buy plaster by using their merits to cure their illnesses.
At the end of January 2018, the "begging people" encountered by villagers in Wuling Village, Nantong, Jiangsu Province became even more arrogant. When the monk kowtowed to celebrate when he saw someone, he asked for peace. A villager gave him 3 yuan, but was angrily criticized by the monk for his lack of money. Not only did you buy 3 yuan and suffer losses and get deceived, but you also bought a scolding? What about my Buddha’s compassion?
When the monk begged for alms, he picked people, and when the young man was at home, he took a detour; when he saw someone left alone, he went forward and talked nonsense. The local Ping An Rule of Law volunteer asked him to show his ID, but he refused to cooperate, but instead picked up a brick to beat someone. After verification by local police, the man was an unemployed vagrant. Two fellow villagers made an appointment to pretend to be a monk to beg for alms, but they did not expect that they would be exposed as soon as they took action.
The "eminent monk" below not only did not save the destined person, but instead started stealing. In April 2018, in a cosmetics store in Yucheng, Dezhou, Shandong, a "monk" was knocking on wooden fish while celebrating his words for merit. After being rejected by the clerk, he actually walked out of the store with two cosmetics before leaving, and walked out of the store like nothing happened. After investigation by the police, this absurd "monk" was not a real monk, but a jobless vagrant.
The Buddhist Association of my country has long stated that monks cannot beg for alms outside the temple, and it is even more impossible to sell items to the masses. Life is already so difficult, and you must expose it when you encounter a fake monk on the road.
Monks sell soap: Another story of a wolf coming
In addition to these fake monks who like to go out and cheat, there is also a group of monks who run from all over the world, not to seek the true scriptures, but to sell soap. They came and went without a trace, and no one had ever witnessed their true appearance, but their legends were everywhere in the world.
In April 2018, a news rumored in Xingtai, Hebei: At 1:00 this afternoon, a group of people got off the car at Zhoucunkou, changed into monk's clothes, held soap, and promoted it everywhere. This soap can make people faint within one or two minutes by smelling it. After that, they will sneak into their homes and take away valuable things.
Is it the reappearance of the ecstasy in martial arts novels? Strangely, the soap that ordinary people dizzy when they smelled was carried by these monks without any damage. Have they mastered the indestructible body of Vajra? If you have this ability, why bother to cheat and cheat! Local police verified that the above news was purely a rumor. As early as 2015, this rumor was born, and the makeover was circulated online for several years.It's really enough... It's been 9102. Don't turn on such old-fashioned rumors anymore. Can you get tired of it? !
The ecstasy medicine that makes people dizzy at the first smell does not exist. Guangzhou Zhongshan Internet Police clarified that the legend of ecstasy originated in Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta. In the early 1990s, a group of Hong Kong elderly people were keen on investment and were deceived and cheated of money. Because they were worried about being blamed by their children, they fabricated rumors that they were confused and robbed in the house. After years of development, there are more and more varied forms of ecstasy drugs. Whether it is ecstasy soap, ecstasy perfume or ecstasy smoke, they all exist only in martial arts novels.
A woman named Li Chunyan is also popular all over the country along with rumors. Amid rumors everywhere, she became a victim of a house robbery. I feel sorry for Ms. Li Chunyan. I just learned that I own property all over the country and was looted in a blink of an eye. Life is so wonderful and exciting!
Can't run away, monks can't run away: temples kidnapped by rumors
Rumors not only slander monks, but also affect the temples. In August 2018, it was rumored online that Kunming Yuantong Temple launched a new business. When rescuing the dead, as long as your relatives add 500 yuan, you can guarantee your reincarnation in the United States in the next life. As soon as the news came out, netizens complained:
"You have been cheated, heaven and hell are divided into nationality and territory. Jade Emperor, King of Hell Even if you have friendship with God, 500 yuan will not be able to do this!"
"Has China and the United States signed a mutual reincarnation agreement?"
"I can do it if I give me 100, and I have a relationship with the King of Hell and God."
In response, the Yunnan Buddhist Association and Kunming Yuantong Temple jointly issued a statement to refute the rumors, saying that this rumor is a dirt of old news. The rumor was first circulated online on August 6, 2008, and it has appeared every year. In response to this old rumor, the Yunnan Buddhist Association and Kunming Yuantong Temple have reported the case to the public security organs.
Press the gourd to raise the scoop again. In August 2018, almost at the same time, an advertisement for recruiting monks was quietly circulated online: Taishan Puzhao Temple recruited monks, and the abbot's salary was more than 80,000 yuan per month. Even if he was an intern, he could receive 18,000 yuan per month. After the internship, the abbot would teach 72 unique skills.
Seeing this, the editor's hand moving bricks trembled slightly, and he wished he could immediately fry the boss and go straight to Mount Tai.
In response to this, the staff of Taishan Scenic Area responded that the consultation phone number was blown up, but I’m sorry, it’s fake. It's really heartbreaking to reveal the truth in one sentence.
Taishan Puzhao Temple is currently only a tourist attraction. There are no monks in the temple, and there is never a saying to recruit monks, and there is no religious activity. Other temples in China only recruit volunteers, and there is no saying that they recruit monks. Even if you want to "recruit" monks, it needs to be approved and carried out by the religious department.
There is more money, less trouble, and so on, it’s all bubbles.
Seeing this, the editor reminds: all kinds of rumors are passing by. Don't be deceived in a moment of confusion. As long as you have Buddha in your heart, you will be a Buddhist youth who "whatever you want, I'm OK" wherever you go.
