Buddhist believers, can you answer a few questions for me?

1. Giving that Buddhism emphasizes is giving with wisdom. Master Huilü, a great virtue in the Buddhist world today, once said that if we give money to professional beggars like this, we are helping them create bad karma. It encourages the emergence of this type of people.

Therefore, we must be wise. When we meet those with disabilities, those who are missing arms and legs, we should give. Some people say that true charity is not afraid of fake beggars, Master Huifa He said: Genuine givers should be most afraid of fake beggars! Therefore, we don’t give to everyone, and we don’t give to those scammers. Of course, there are so many Chinese people, and maybe many people are very kind-hearted. No matter who begs, we give to them. People are very kind. As for Buddhism, it absolutely does not support scammers because they take advantage of the kindness of kind people. Buddhism’s position is very clear. Giving teaches wisdom.

2 Due to the special background conditions of our country, many problems have arisen. For example, Buddhist temples have become tourist attractions. Not only are the tickets at these tourist attractions temples expensive, but also the things are expensive, which has caused quite a lot of criticism from the public. In fact, Buddhism has taken a big blame, and for whom? The poster should be able to guess it.

For example, most people think that tickets for Buddhist temples are the income of Taoist temples. In fact, all tickets for temples across the country belong to the state. As for the so-called fortune-telling by drawing lots, it is not a product of Buddhism and does not conform to the teachings of the Buddha. You also mentioned An incense stick costs 180 yuan. In fact, let’s look at it from two perspectives

1. In terms of the quality of the incense, if it is indeed a very good special sandalwood, then 180 yuan is very cheap.

But the concept of ordinary people may not be like this. They always think that it is just a fragrance. As for being so expensive, if you understand it from this perspective, it is understandable.

From a Buddhist point of view, if you have the ability, you can light better incense, but there is no requirement for everyone to be like this. As long as you have a pious and kind heart, no matter what incense is, it will be good. ! If a person does many evil things, it will be useless even if he buys 18,000 incense. If a person is kind and hard-working, the most common incense will smell good!

Every monastery has its own history, background, conditions, etc. We don’t know it, so we can’t criticize it casually.

As for that incense, you don’t have to buy it. If this is the only one, you don’t have to light it. What is the so-called pure Dharmakaya incense? Do the public know the meaning?

We ordinary people I think that lighting incense is just for praying. Anyway, I have something to ask the Bodhisattvas. If I want to pray to the Buddha, I just light incense. Just kidding, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are not in demand, so lighting incense has its own intrinsic meaning

I believe you must have heard a saying, which is called burning yourself to light up others. That’s right, but people can’t really burn themselves, so let’s use incense to represent it. To light incense is to have such a mind, just like the sun burning itself. , to bring light and warmth to others, this is the true meaning of lighting incense, so when a person understands and does it, he is considered a person who lights incense in the true sense.
