Can a lay practitioner criticize a monastic for their faults?

It is definitely not right to say this, no matter whether people are evil masters or not, we can't talk about it in a targeted way, because we can't see it clearly. I sometimes want to say that because I have seen some things, but when I think about it, what I see with my eyes is not necessarily the truth, and even the facts have their cause and effect. I had the opportunity to observe the cause and effect of hell, and there were indeed groups of monks in it who had fallen, including some Dharma teachers who were abbots.

All laws are empty, cause and effect are not empty, truth is not false, do their best, how they are willing to go is their business, and now there are also those who have the task of rectifying the chaos of Buddhism, and they receive punishment and cause and effect by themselves.

It is the heart that does the body, the heart that makes the Buddha, if my heart is the Buddha, looking at the flowers and plants is also the Buddha, my heart is not evil, how can there be an evil teacher, the master preaches the scriptures like the Dharma, I listen to the letter and live in the faith, that is I have a relationship with this master, if the master is mysterious and mysterious, the scriptures are not as good as the law, and I talk about the doomsday speech, then I have no relationship with the master, if the master has a sentence that benefits me, it is my good knowledge, my heart is a Buddha, so I also regard you as a Buddha without a reason, even if I have evil thoughts in my heart, I also repent of my sins, because the evil thoughts are in my heart, my life and death are my own, the same, If the Master preaches that the scriptures are right or wrong, he himself will also suffer cause and effect, and his life and death will also be his own. A hundred years have passed in a short time, go to **, everyone has their own skills. I want to be grateful to these teachers because they let me practice the Paramita of Forbearance.

Think about how great the sin of slander is, if Daoji Zen Master, now drink wine and eat meat, what kind of slander is people's slander now. May the senior brother be mindful, can you slander, that is the benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise, put these right and wrong down and practice well, I am more fated with Master Mengshen, senior brother can also take a look at the classics taught by Master Mengshen!

Once, Tang Taizong asked Master Xuanzang: "I want to offer to monks, but I heard that many monks do not practice." How should it be?

The master taught: "There is jade in Kunshan, but it is mixed with mud and sand; Lishui gold, how can there be no rubble? Arhats carved from earth and wood can be blessed if they are worshipped; A statue of a Buddha made of copper and iron.

Destruction creates sin; Although the mud dragon cannot rain, it must pray for rain; Although the monks cannot be blessed, they must respect the monks. After hearing this, Tang Taizong suddenly realized and said: Even if I see the little novice from now on, it should be like seeing the Buddha

There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south.

The abbot of the Sangha is the Dharma, continues the wisdom of the Buddha, and is the first blessed field among people, and the supreme and noble; Even if the precepts are not taken well, the virtue is defiled, and the lay people cannot compare with it, for example, although the vajra is defective, all the treasures cannot reach it! In the household, the priest must be convinced of the Buddha's words, believe that the Sangha treasure is the blessing of the people, and do their best to be humble and courteous, and commend the ability to protect it. Master Xuanzang said:

Although the monks cannot be blessed, they must respect the monks. ”

Evil teachers and monks are two different concepts. If I really "compare" my understanding of the teachings, or if so-and-so is an evil teacher who is more obviously oblique, it is understandable to express my views in a fair manner in order to uphold the Fa-rectification. Blind attacks are excessive.

Some individual monks do not set an example for the heavenly beings, but have controversial behaviors, and we cannot blindly criticize all the monks with these controversial behaviors, after all, individuals cannot represent all.

No. Speak out about your family's faults and commit "not lying." Because the monks are the representatives of Shakya in this world.

Although Buddhism "does not say the faults of the four people", it can be said appropriately and reasonably.

1. In the era of the end of the Dharma, there were many cults, similar Buddhism, and side-Buddha foreign ways, like the sand of the Ganges, and the Buddha had already expected it.

2. Your motivation is to uphold the Fa-rectification, and your actions are to be fearless and generous for the sake of upholding the Fa-rectification, and there is nothing wrong with it. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are reasonable, how can you become a Buddha and Bodhisattva if you are not reasonable!

3. Buddhist chaos, collective karma, cause and effect, don't get entangled.

4. Buddhism is the law of the heart, that is, the heart is the Buddha, and the heart is the Buddha. Fix your heart.

5. As long as you keep a quiet, bright and compassionate heart, you are the heart of a Buddha.

6. There are three cannots of Buddha:

1.You can't extinguish your karma.

2.I can't afford to be out of luck.

3.Not all living beings.

7. If a monk is greedy for fame and profit, he will cut off the life of sentient beings, and naturally he will have to bear a very heavy cause and effect. That's his cause, his cause, whatever he wants. If you don't want to worship him, you can worship the robe on his body, which is Futian clothes.

FYI, Amitabha!

You go and ask if there really a serious temple accepts such a person? made a mistake and left home, this is the misleading of TV and **.

During the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Yongzheng did this kind of thing, allowing prisoners to become monks, and they have been scolded until now, and the decline of Buddhism came from this.

The Dharma can be learned by anyone, but being a monk is not something that anyone can do. The monks are the masters of the heavens, and they have to overcome all kinds of difficulties on their own, practice life and death, and then use the valuable experience they have accumulated to guide others. Therefore, in the past, the requirements for monks were very high, and they were only allowed to pass the national examination, and not everyone could do it.

When a person makes a mistake, it must be because he has a problem with his knowledge, and how can a person with a problem with his knowledge guide others? Instructing others to make the same mistakes as he did? Of course, if you repent and do not commit a crime, change your ways, and work hard, it is not impossible to become a monk.

Some people make a mistake and become a monk, which is to truly understand their mistake and become a monk to repay their karma, while others are a kind of escape, and the situation is different.

One says evasion, the other says repentance.

It is not enough to be a monk with the body, but the mind needs to be in tune. Otherwise, the heart of Hongchen is even worse.

This is a kind of cowardly behavior, wanting to escape reality by escaping into the empty door, without the courage to correct the mistakes, in fact, the monks also need to face the reality, instead of living in a vacuum, and then break the vows, they will also escape from the Buddha's door, and this kind of person will eventually achieve nothing.

Because the six roots are impure to escape reality.

Amitabha. To become a monk, you must first understand why you want to become a monk, and why you want sentient beings to have better access to the Dharma. Secondly, whether you really have the determination, enlightenment, and really see through and let go.

Why do your family members misunderstand and wronged you, don't be sad and confused, it's because you're not doing well enough, you're not practicing well, they don't feel the benefits that believing in Buddhism brings to you, it's because we haven't done a good job, we haven't been able to influence them, it's our karma that is hindering us, if we really practice very well, and bring help and benefits to the people around us, they will be happy with your decision.

Secondly, being a monk is a home from the earthly world, a home of the six realms of reincarnation, a home of troubles, a home of selfishness, a home of five desires and six dusts, a home of greed, hatred, ignorance, and suspicion.

Amitabha, as for whether you can achieve it or not, it is not up to them, but to yourself.
