    1: See if he is really pitiful; 2: If they ask for it, they will give it, but not more than 5 yuan, and if they ask for it from door to door, they will not give a cent; 3:

    Remember: don't give it if you're too young, only old monks who have been monks for many years will go out to travel because of their cultivation, generally in temples or deep mountains and old forests, and they can walk when they come out, don't take a car, don't give if they are spotlessly dressed, he must be impersonating!

    Because I'm also a monk, hehe!

    It can be given under normal circumstances. But it's better not to meet on the street. You can go to the temple and make offerings to him.

    Because some monks don't want money, you give it to him, and if he doesn't want it, it will hurt your self-esteem. Although Buddhism talks about fate, some people hold money vows, and if you ask for money, you don't have to give it to a monk. True monks don't come out to ask for money.

    Usually the monks who are out of the house will not take the initiative to greet you, but usually go door-to-door in front of everyone's house to ask for alms and meals, not money.

    Bhikshus have a precept that they are not allowed to touch money, and what you meet is estimated to be false. (Of course, there may be a few other than that.) )

    Bhikshu means to beg, like a Buddha begging for wisdom, and begging for food from the people, and now India and Nepal still maintain this point, but there is almost no Chinese Buddhism.

    Remember, don't give money to your family, if you still take the initiative to ask for it, or say that you have a good complexion, you are definitely not a real monk. You have to be careful.

    One of the monastic precepts is that the precept of money is to be kept. They can't take money, and of course we can't give him money.

    If you want to get started, go straight to a temple or other organization, and someone will take care of it! Wouldn't it be better not to break the monk's precepts, but to support them, and at the same time to express their own minds!

    Monks normally don't need money, as long as they eat, but now monks have very little to eat, if you want to donate money, go to the temple == If the monk wants it, then he is not a real monk Haha.

    A real monk who holds the money vow will not take any money from you. If you want to make offerings to monks, you can go to the temple and make donations.

    The monk's money is offered by the ten parties, and ordinary people are not blessed. If you are an only child, you have the obligation to support your parents, and when your parents are old and financially poor, you can support your parents with a part of your own single expenses.

    It doesn't matter who you give it to or what you give it, it's the heart that matters. We should contemplate the Dharma realm, and all things are created by idealism. If it is selfish, then cause and effect. If you live in the realm of equality without distinction, you will be the same for everyone. If you don't know, even if you use it yourself, you have to pay it back.

    There are several situations:

    After becoming a monk, any money offered by the believers cannot be given to relatives of lay families. Because all the money offered by the believers is for the Three Jewels, if it is given to lay relatives, it is against the original intention of the believers to make offerings.

    Possessions before ordination can be given to lay relatives. For example, the house, savings, pension, etc., which were available before the ordination, can be given to lay relatives.

    Under special circumstances, the monks can use the income of their labor to support the old, weak, sick and disabled among their relatives at home. The Muzhou monk of the Tang Dynasty used to weave straw shoes to sell and support his mother. The ancient books record that he said, ".……Often weaving pu shoes, placed on the road, and serving the mother.

    If there are special circumstances, please consult the abbot of the monastery.

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. >>>More
