Did the incense money donated to the temple be used by the monks to improve their food?

The money is not used to improve food, but some of the money is used to improve accommodation, and some of the money is given back to the community.

This phenomenon does exist, but I don't think it matters, it is also appropriate to let these monks eat well, and they usually work very hard to take care of the temple.

No, some of them will be used to repair the temples, many of which are in disrepair and need to be repaired, and the other part will be used to improve the salaries of the masters, and the rest will be used to improve the food of the monks.

I think it may be, because the current monks are not taboo about some chicken, duck and fish, and they are not like the monks in the past who only ate vegetarian food and did not eat meat, but now they eat everything, so most of the incense money should be used for food.

A large part of the "incense money" donated to the temple is used by the monks to improve their food, and a large part is used to build the temple.

At the end of the day, you have to understand that nature is empty.

First, monks are forbidden to travel to the party, which is clearly stipulated by the Chinese Buddhist Association, if you see a relationship on the road, you are basically a fake monk.

Second, monasteries and Buddhist associations have a tradition of charity and disaster relief since ancient times. During the epidemic, Buddhism donated hundreds of millions, including the flood in Henan this year, and the Buddhist community not only donated money and materials, but also rushed to the front line of disaster relief.

Misunderstandings about Buddhism, including misunderstandings of other religions, are all due to limited propaganda, and the Buddhist circles and the entire religious circles have always been a positive force in socialist construction.

Who told you that the monastery did not make donations? Buddhism is not allowed to promote their own merits, this Zhengzhou flood, most of the country's monasteries have donated, the author's vicious intentions to destroy Buddhism and religion are really terrible, please ask the author to donate his own merits and charity funds to take out the sun!

Grandpa Buddha is a rice bowl for monks to eat, and when they have money, they eat fragrant food, drink spicy food, and marry daughters-in-law! How is it possible to donate!

You know a yarn, Dharma is greater than any generosity, Dharma is able to save the life of wisdom.

There are many monasteries in Henan flood donations, which I saw on the Internet 2 days ago.

It's about substance!

Only, the Tao is natural! Benefit the world!

The main thing is that you see the world with a pair of tinted glasses.

Hello dear <>

In the temple, give blessings to others, give incense, money, good relatives.

It is an ancient custom that the payment of incense money is considered a blessing, and it originates from the ancient respect for Buddhism. Paying incense money is a Buddhist custom, which is to worship the Buddha with a certain amount of money to show respect and respect, and to express gratitude to the Buddha. Paying incense money can not only pray for the blessings of the Buddha, but also increase the blessings of oneself and make one's life better.

Therefore, the payment of incense money can indeed be counted as good fortune, and it can bring good fortune to oneself and to others.

Hello dear, glad to answer for you. This question involves Qiaoqin's personal beliefs and cultural traditions, and different people may have different opinions. In some regions and traditions, donating incense money to a temple is considered a way to show respect and gratitude, while others believe that it can bring blessings and blessings from the gods or Buddhas.

However, from a modern secular point of view, blessings do not require the payment of incense money. If you think this is a necessary way to feel balanced and happy, then you can choose the right amount, but you should avoid being too financially burdened by pursuing so-called "good luck". In conclusion, individuals can decide for themselves whether or not to donate incense money to the temple, but please pay attention to moderation and rationality.

When we go to the temple, we usually burn incense and pray in it, and many people are very curious, the incense money we give in the temple ends up going to **?

As for the use of incense money, the temple monks explained that 70% is used for temple maintenance, 20% is used for living expenses, and 10% is used for charity, and the specific use is unknown.

Shaolin Temple's publicity expenses, decoration costs, and charity expenses, which account for the majority of the incense money, have never stopped over the years. Therefore, the Shaolin Temple has survived thousands of years and still survives in the world.

It costs a lot of money to repair the temple, gild the body of the Bodhisattva, and the salary of the monks who work in the temple is not low, and it costs a lot of money to maintain the daily operation of the temple's greenery.

The money is generally used to build the temple, add facilities to the temple, and provide for the daily living expenses of the monks.

Since Buddhism was introduced to China from India more than 2,000 years ago, it has been integrated with our traditional Chinese culture, attracting a large number of Buddhist believers, and after years of development, it has become a part of China's traditional culture. In particular, many temples in our country have a very long history, so visiting the temple can not only burn incense and worship the Buddha, ask for a psychological comfort, but also be able to appreciate some historical buildings. However, many very devout Buddhists tend to donate a lot of "incense money" to the temple, which is actually very unnecessary, just look at those fat-headed and big-eared monks.

Although the Chinese monks are basically vegetarians, but in fact, Buddhism does not stipulate that Buddhists must be vegetarian, in fact, Chinese monks must be vegetarian is the regulation of Tang Wuzong, the ancient productive forces are relatively backward, and the monks do not produce, the pressure on ordinary people to support the country has been great, so Tang Wuzong stipulates that monks must be vegetarian or to a certain extent to reduce the burden of the people, so Chinese monks vegetarian as a tradition has been maintained to modern times. However, although they are vegetarians, the diet of the monks is still very particular, and many monks can be oily just by eating vegetarian.

In fact, whether it is ancient or modern times, it is not very easy to be a monk, in ancient times, there is a degree to be regarded as a formal monk who is recognized, but it is not easy for ordinary monks to get a degree, with a degree can be exempted from some taxes and servitude, and the imperial court at that time in order to increase income is also clearly marked with a price, and it is very expensive, it can be said that if it is not a family wealth, it is difficult to become a real monk. In modern times, it is not very easy to be a monk, after all, most of the temple incense is very prosperous now, and monks are also a very sought-after and stable job.

Many people are also curious about what the temple incense money is used for? Some people may joke that they are all eaten by monks, but the actual situation is similar, because monks can only eat vegetarian in order to ensure nutrition, and monks are still very concerned about eating. And the difference between the food levels of different levels of monks is also very large, with a total of 8 levels.

Moreover, the monks will also hold various dinners regularly to improve their food, so many tour guides say not to donate more incense money to the temple, and all this money is eaten by the fat-headed and big-eared monks.

In fact, most people donate "incense money" to the temple for psychological comfort, and there is no need to spend too much money. To live the life we want is up to us to work our own. Ladies and gentlemen, about the tour guide:

Don't donate more "incense money" to the temple, it will all be eaten by the fat-headed and big-eared monks.

Most of the incense money is eaten by the monks in the monastery, who also go out to dinner.

No, they were all used as maintenance buildings for the temple, and they were not eaten by monks. Don't be so biased.

No, part of the money is used for other expenses of the temple, such as repairing the temple, etc., and a small part is used for food, buying clothes, water and electricity, etc.

In fact, most of the incense money in the temple is used for the daily expenses of the temple, such as the daily maintenance of the temple, meals and even water and electricity bills. Many people learn about the negative news about incense money from the Internet, but in fact, I am still neutral about the news of these "squandering incense spark money monks"; After all, many of the current monks have very good family backgrounds, and it cannot be said that others have squandered the money for sesame oil in the temple by driving luxury cars.

1. The incense money in the temple is generally used for the daily expenses of the temple, and will not be deliberately squandered by some people

In the temple, we will always see a lot of sincere people praying to the gods and donating their snacks at the same time, especially the more famous temples will even receive a lot of sesame oil money donations! So what exactly is this money used for? In fact, after receiving these sesame oil money, most of it is directly used in the temple, in addition to regular temple maintenance and decoration, it is also necessary to pay the monks' salaries, food and even the temple's water and electricity bills.

Under normal circumstances, the sesame oil money received is specially graded and managed, and most of the time it will be saved and kept for the annual temple maintenance; It doesn't cost casually.

Second, regarding the negative news of incense money circulating on the Internet, we should maintain a neutral attitude to look at things

It was once rumored on the Internet that monks took incense money to squander, and even said that some monks also drove luxury cars to live a happy life. Is there any evidence? If not, why is it being shouted on the Internet?

In fact, when you see the information on the recruitment of monks, you will find that the monks of today are not the kind of monks who can enter casually in the past; Children who have the ability to go to college believe that some families are still better, so what does the car they buy have to do with the incense money in the temple? Does becoming a monk break with one's own home?

Therefore, I still believe that incense money is used in a reasonable place, not a squander circulating on the Internet.

The incense money donated by tourists in the temple is mainly used for the daily maintenance of the temple. Some also provide relief to a large number of believers, as well as the surrounding people, and will also use some incense money when holding some Buddhist activities.

The day-to-day operating expenses of the temple. To raise the temple is a basic religious policy in our country, the temple's incense candles, rice, flour, grain and oil, monk's clothes, etc. all need to spend money, water and electricity bills, etc., these expenditures are part of the incense money.

Most of the incense money donated by tourists is used for the construction and maintenance of the temple, and some of it is used for the basic daily expenses of the monks of the temple, and such donations are basically not particularly large.

It is used in the food of the monks, and they also eat at different levels, in addition to eating vegetarian fasting, they also eat other foods, as well as free incense for tourists, and the maintenance of the temple also needs money.

It was all given to those monks, and the monks would use the sesame oil money to eat, drink, and have fun outside, and buy luxury cars. I often see some monks playing with their mobile phones, driving luxury cars, and eating meat, and the monks are so rich these days.

How to use the money sent to the temple is the monks' business, and you have a lot of control.
