    There are differences within each group, even the monastics, who claim to be "equal to all beings."Some monks are accompanied by luxury cars and beautiful women, and some monks are troubled and have no one to take care of them.

    1. Some professional monks have no savings, and they do not have children to provide for the elderlyIn the eyes of our ordinary people, those monks who are monks are generally very rich, and the incense in the temple is more prosperous than the business of the store, and they are not short of money at all.

    In fact, within Buddhism, the various hierarchies are very obviousThe true title of "monk" is something that only a very small number of monks deserve. The person who can be called a "monk" does not mean that you just shave your head and wear a monk's robeYou have to be profound in the Dharma and highly respected, and usually such monks are elders or presiding officers in the temple. Otherwise, like ordinary novices or monks, they don't have any special status at all, and even if they want to make money, they can't get it.

    In addition, after the commercialization of Buddhism in modern times, it is those monks who have "joined the WTO" who can make money, and those monks who continue to practice really have no money. Because some of the monks' precepts areHe doesn't manage his finances and lives by begging, indifferently facing birth, old age, sickness and death.

    As for those gurus (ascetics, practitioners), they even temper themselves and hone their minds with asceticism. From the perspective of ordinary people, they live a life of "asking for hardships".

    When these monks who have no savings are old or sick, they can only struggle, endure and sigh silently, waiting for their "death".

    Second, some monks are addicted to making money, ruining the reputation in the hearts of the worldBuddhism was born in ancient India, introduced to China during the Han Dynasty, and it has become a part of our traditional culture after more than 2,000 years of competition and integration with Taoism. It can purify our hearts, help us find sustenance spiritually, and make us think deeply in philosophy, abandon evil and follow good.

    But,Some monks are accustomed to using this to accumulate wealth and squander it on a large scaleFrom ancient times to the present, this phenomenon has not stopped, especially after the modern commercialization of Buddhism, this kind of phenomenon is more obvious and prominent.

    After seeing too many greedy and wealthy monks, people have a certain dislike for monks, and even if there are really poor monks who need help, it is difficult to get enough help.

    This is a misunderstanding caused by the lack of understanding of Buddhism.

    After Buddhism was introduced to China, the patriarchs created the jungle system according to the local situation.

    In the Zen temple, there is a strict management system, a clear division of labor, and each performs its own duties.

    Among them, there is a special function for the management of medicine, called a decoction waiter.

    According to the "Position Gate" of the "Zen Forest Elephant Instrument Note": the decoction waiter, one of the five waiters of the Zen forest, is also known as the waiter. Decoction refers to soup fruit and medicinal stone. That is, the title of waiting for the abbot's meal, decoction, and medicine.

    According to the fourth volume of the "Hundred Chapters of the Imperial Cultivation of the Qing Rules", the "Two Prologues: The Waiter at the Head of the Western Order" contains, the decoction waiter, the decoction of the abbot in the morning and dusk, should be connected to the left and right, and the attendant of Sasuke's mantle and bowl should be compensated for the servants of recent affairs. And if there is a temporary shortage of waiters, there are guests coming, and when there is a shortage of people to return, the waiter of the decoction should be an assistant. Generally, it is held by the young, cautious and experienced people.

    Therefore, since ancient times, there has been a special function in Buddhist temples in charge of medicine.

    Among the ancient Buddhist temples, there was also a Nirvana Hall, which was a place for seriously ill monks.

    Nirvana not only provides medical services, but also has monks who take the initiative to take care of sick monks.

    In modern times, large monasteries also have medical facilities.

    For example, the Nanputuo Temple Free Hospital in Xiamen has been established for 26 years, and in January 2019, Xiamen Nanputuo Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine was established, which is a non-profit hospital with Buddhist characteristics established in accordance with hospital standards. It not only benefits the monks of the monastery, but also the general public.

    Since 2012, Suzhou Lingyanshan Temple has also set up a Buddhist nursing home, providing a place for elderly Buddhist believers to "do something, take care of the elderly, return to the elderly, and be reliable".

    In addition, the Douluo Temple in Xiushui, Jiangxi Province also has a Buddhist nursing home, and Yanshan County, Hebei Province also has a Bohai Shuangyuan nursing home, etc.

    Therefore, in the Buddhist world, if you are in a big temple and you are strict with the precepts, there will be no situation where you can only leave in desolation after being seriously ill.

    First, Buddhism is not a religion, it is education. Second, God is inherently there and has nothing to do with religion. Thirdly, I would like to quote the words of the Buddhist scripture "Jizo Sutra": "There is another land. and the world of sava.

    Poseidon. Jiangshen. River God.

    Dryad. Mountain gods. Earth God.

    God Kawasawa. Seedling God. God of Day.

    Night God. Empty God. God.

    Food God. The god of plants and trees. Wait for God.

    All come to the rally. ”

The incident of destroying the Buddha in the Three Martial Arts and One Sect had a great impact on the development of Buddhism, and the reason for this incident can indeed be said to be that Buddhism moved the royal cake.
