Can Buddhist people answer some questions for me?
Therefore, we should be wise and give it to those who are disabled and lack arms and legs. Some people really say that giving is not afraid of fake beggars. Master Hui said: True giving should be afraid of fake beggars! So, we don't give it to everyone, and we don't give it to those liars. Of course, there are so many people in China, and many of them may still be very kind. They give it to anyone who begs. These people are very kind. As far as Buddhism is concerned, it is absolutely not supported to give to swindlers, because they take advantage of the kindness of good people, and the position of Buddhism is very clear. Give the representative wisdom.
Due to the special background conditions in China, many problems have arisen. For example, Buddhist temples have become tourist attractions. In these tourist attractions, not only tickets are expensive, but also things are expensive, which leads to complaints from the public. In fact, Buddhism bears a great responsibility. For who? The landlord should be able to guess.
For example, tickets for Buddhist temples are always considered as Dojo income. In fact, the tickets for temples, large and small, all belong to the state. As for the so-called lottery fortune telling, it is not a product of Buddhism, nor does it conform to the teachings of Buddhism. You also mentioned that a plant of incense actually needs 180 yuan. In fact, we will talk about it from two angles.
1 From the quality of incense, if it is really very good super sandalwood, then 180 yuan is very cheap.
However, the concept of ordinary people may not be like this. I always think it's just a scent. As it is so expensive, it is understandable if you understand it from this angle.
From the Buddhist point of view, if you have the ability, you can order better incense, but not everyone is required to do so. As long as you have a sincere and kind heart, no matter what fragrance is good! If a person is evil, it is useless to buy 18 thousand incense. If a person is kind and hardworking, the most common fragrance is good!
Each temple Dojo has its history, background, conditions and so on. We don't know, so we can't criticize casually.
As for incense, you don't have to buy it. If this is the only one, don't order it. What is the purpose of the so-called cleansing incense and incense? Does the public know what this means?
We ordinary people think that lighting incense is for blessing. Anyway, I have something to ask the bodhisattva for, so I just lit incense and made a joke. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are unpopular, and lighting incense has its inherent significance.
You must have heard a saying, burning yourself to illuminate others, yes, but people can't really burn themselves, so it is represented by incense. Burning incense is to have such a mind, just like the sun burning itself, bringing light and warmth to others. That's the real meaning of lighting incense, so when a person understands and does it, he can be considered as a real incense burner.
