Behind the thunderstorm of Famen Temple, the temple is lost in the wave of commerce, how to avoid

Buddhist temples are a quiet place in the minds of many people, but I didn't expect the temple to become commercialized, Famen Temple has been listed by the court as a dishonest company because of rent default, and a good quiet place has become a debt overdue, which needs to cause people to think about it. According to the data, the temples in various regions have become more or less commercialized, mainly in Sichuan, Shanghai, Beijing, Zhejiang and other places, and Buddhism has become less majestic and has been materialized.

If Buddhist temples want to survive, they need more or less economic support and material foundation. If the monks want to sustain their daily lives, then they need to have access to a reliable economy**, which requires the monasteries to seize the opportunity to increase their economic income. With the continuous development of society, Buddhism has also become modernized, and the construction of temples has become a very important part.

The daily life of modern monks has also changed greatly from the lives of ancient monks, and it is normal that Buddhism cannot be completely separated from society.

The society is not opposed to Buddhism carrying out some legal and compliant business operations, but some Buddhism operates by virtue of marketization, turning a good Buddhist activity or monastery into a profit-making tool. He believes that no matter how Buddhism develops, it cannot lose its original intention, although if you want to obtain economic income, then you need to do something that is beneficial to people's livelihood, and not make some activities too commercial. When some monasteries go on the path of accumulating wealth, Buddhism will lose its essence, and at the same time, it will affect the public's perception of Buddhism.

If Buddhist monasteries continue on this path, it may damage the rights and interests of the Buddhist community, and at the same time, it will also damage the religious feelings of the masses and corrupt the social atmosphere. If you want to avoid the commercialization of temples, then you need temples to realize their mistakes, need to strengthen their own construction, need to actively respond to social development, and resist some adverse effects of the economy on temples. The most important thing for monks is to practice, not to crawl around in the red world, and the relevant departments also need to supervise the temple and improve some bad behaviors.

It is necessary to avoid over-exploitation of temples, not to link them to commercial interests, to standardize temple management methods, and to establish religious associations to play their due role as groups, so as to avoid the commercialization of temples.

The current temple is seriously over-exploited for commercialization, which has changed the taste of traditional temples, and if you want to avoid the commercialization of temples, you must prevent over-exploitation of temples. Let the temple avoid the fact that Sheik does not ** tickets, and do not let him carry out commercial restructuring, and the corporatized operation can avoid the emergence of the commercialization of the temple. Although this claim is opposed by many, it is an effective way to stop the commercialization of temples.

Now there is a certain controversy over the operation and management of the temple, for the people in the temple, they want to fight for the independence of religious affairs, and for the relevant departments they want to grasp the right to develop the temple's tourism resources, the two are in conflict, and there is no guarantee that the temple will become a real blessed state, so it will lead to the commercialization of the temple more and more serious. To change this kind of thinking and change a way of thinking, the temple should be restored to its true nature.

Although the commercialization of the temple should be avoided, it is impossible to avoid it absolutely, because the temple also needs to be repaired, operated and maintained, if the temple does not have any income, then the temple will not be able to move an inch and cannot continue to maintain, so it also needs a certain amount of income, where this income comes from, whether it should be obtained through tickets or through incense, this is also a debatable question, and this problem can also effectively avoid the commercialization of the temple after it is determined.

Standardize the management methods of temples, in this management measures, it is necessary to clearly write that temples are not allowed to operate commercially, and only after there are clear regulations can things be done in accordance with the rules and regulations, so that the monks in the temples can really focus on studying and presiding over and promoting Buddhism, and build the temple into a place to carry forward Buddhist culture, and it is also an important base for monks to engage in serving the society and benefiting human activities. Where conditions permit, Buddhist associations or religious associations can also be established, so that they can play the role of a group to jointly resist the process of commercialization of temples.

I think the first thing is that the management of the temple must raise their own awareness and not do something that violates the law and discipline, and the temple is a relatively quiet place, so they must do something with a sense of justice and can be approved by others.

Temples in the country have been commercialized and landscaped.

People who like Buddhist culture will choose to go to the temple to worship incense, but now the temples in China have been completely commercialized and attributed, which makes it difficult for us to calm down and understand the Buddhist culture.

With the continuous development of the times, the temples in China also have a high status and influence, because in everyone's eyes, the temple is a concrete embodiment of Buddhist culture. For the sake of their own beliefs, many devout Buddhists will come to visit the temple, but with the commercialization and attraction of temples in China, it is not Buddhists who come to the temple, but more tourists. <>

Since monks are not able to earn wages like ordinary people, merchants must fully commercialize and make temples attractive if they want to have a stable amount of money**, and only by attracting more and more tourists to visit and visit can they earn more income for the temple. Perhaps such an approach would cause great controversy in the temples in the country, but for the sake of the normal operation of the temples, the monks could only accept such a decision. <>

In order to attract tourists and promote the development of tourism, some areas will commercialize and scenic the local temples, which may disturb the tranquility of the monks, but in order to earn more tourism income for the local area, the local ** must also use the temple as a local cultural symbol. If you don't choose to do this, it will not only lead to the temple becoming very dilapidated, but also lead to the local economic development level becoming very unsatisfactory, from the perspective of economic development, the commercialization and attraction of the temple is indeed a very good choice. <>

That is true. Now we generally feel that many monasteries have been overexploited, and the smell of commerce is strong.

I think yes, because many temples are required to offer incense money, and it costs money to worship tablets.

I think that the current temple has been commercialized to a certain extent, and it is not a pure temple.

A real monk does not pursue financial gain, and it is enough to have a place to eat and live, to be well fed and clothed. They pursue Borod, liberation, and nirvana, and they believe in cause and effect, and they break evil and cultivate good. They know that everything is empty, they have no obstacles, they are far away from upside-down dreams, and they are the teachers of man and heaven.

Worship respectfully.

Famen Temple. Thunderstorm, as a temple, debt ratio.

It has actually been reached, which is a very exaggerated number, and the problem of Famen Temple has already appeared in 2021, because of the default of rent repayment, Famen Temple has been sued by many companies, and in the process of inspection, the equity and a large number of bank accounts have been sealed. According to the relevant ** report, the operating income of Famen Temple can only maintain its normal operation, but it is not able to repay the principal of the debt and the interest of the old interest.

The relevant person in charge of Famen Temple is undoubtedly very greedy, blindly pursuing profits, but ignoring the most essential things, not only bearing huge debts, but also greatly reducing the image of Buddhism. It is normal for temples to need financial support if they want to continue, so the temple economy is also an indispensable thing, but many temples have slowly lost their original intentions in this process, and instead are like a businessman, involving various fields of society, such as sightseeing and pilgrimage, agricultural and industrial products, cultural and educational guidance, etc.

Generally speaking, if the temple wants to obtain economic **, it can be obtained from peripheral consumer goods, tickets, incense money, devotees donate merit boxes, etc., but with the continuous development of society, some temples have provided offering tablets.

services. In order to obtain money, many temples do not pay attention to the purpose of worship, which will inevitably bring certain troubles to the temple, such as a temple in Nanjing that actually enshrines the Japanese war criminal Yusan.

It's a very outrageous thing, and it's also something that challenges the bottom line of the public.

Shaolin Temple. and other industries. Excessive commercial demolition and upgrading will inevitably make some temples suffer a lot of infamy, and it will also make the Buddhist culture taste bad, which will cause a very serious impact.

Buddhism is a quiet place and cannot be disturbed by the world, but many temples have become a business, and monks have become a profession. Monks do not pursue the Dharma, but desires.

In my personal opinion, the question of the commercialization of such temples. On the one hand, the first department should make corresponding policies and norms to prevent some temples from making additional pricing for the purpose of taking money in the transition period. On the other hand, religious personnel should also be clean and self-sufficient, and should not prioritize commercial interests.

With the continuous development of modern society, it is inevitable that temples will be commercialized to a certain extent in order to catch up with the changes and pace of the times. But the relevant boundaries in this still need to be clearly grasped. Otherwise, if many temples focus too much on money, it will not only lead to a negative impression of Buddhism, but also lead to criticism and dissatisfaction among the masses.

**The department should reduce the commercialization of temples for tourist attractions.

Due to China's thousands of years of religious culture and history, many people will go to temples and other places during the New Year's holidays, so some departments in order to improve the development of tourism in the region, may be forced to merge temples and tourism to over-commercialize. This behavior is noteworthy. This will not only disrupt the daily life of many monks in the temple, but also cause people to have a certain contradiction about the high price of the scenic spot and the combination of the temples inside.

And make corresponding policies and norms to eliminate the additional consumption caused by some temples in order to obtain money.

At the same time, in view of the excessive commercialization of some temples themselves and the mass consumption caused by the acquisition of money, the ** department should also make corresponding norms and policy strategies. Help temples establish the basic boundaries of religious beliefs and mass consumption. Let many religious personnel have a better reference idea when operating, and greatly reduce the problem of the commercialization of some religions with huge customer traffic.

Temple personnel should also be clean and self-conscious, and should not prioritize commercial interests.

Many individuals also have to clean themselves up within the religion, and the temple itself is a place to spread faith and self-cultivation for believers. Commercial interests should not be the main priority. Instead, they should take their own cultivation as their main purpose.

Don't overly use external objects as a reference point for your inner life. <>

If the road ahead of the temple is so bumpy that there is no way forward, because the temple is a solemn place for the monks to practice, if the maximum enlightenment is commercialized, then the temple that has been left for thousands of years, the Dan Pan culture will no longer exist.

We should abandon commercialization and return to the original operation of the Famen Liji Temple, the ticket price should not be too high, and we should not artificially induce everyone to buy some inspection halls, so as to revitalize the industry.

I think that the commercialization of temples has broken the traditional conventions and abandoned their original ideas, which is really unreasonable and not advocated.

Domestic 5A-level scenic spots.

The operating body of Famen Temple, Shaanxi Famen Temple Cultural Development, is overdue due to a number of financial leasing products. According to statistics, its current liabilities and non-current liabilities totaled more than 4 billion yuan, and the monetary funds in the account.

It is less than 100 million yuan. Famen Temple Cultural Development has been involved in several lawsuits since June 2021 due to default on rent repayments, and the court has now included it in the list of dishonest companies.

Famen Temple is located in Fufeng County, Shaanxi Province, Famen Town 10 kilometers north of the city, because there is a pagoda and got its name, formerly known as Ashoka Temple. In August 1981, the tower collapsed in a storm. After the collapse of the pagoda, Shaanxi ** began preparations for reconstruction, until 1987, archaeologists officially began to rescue and excavate Famen Temple.

During the cleanup, construction workers discovered the sealed underground palace, which, in addition to thousands of Tang Dynasty treasures, was also accidentally discovered.

The middle finger bone shocked the Buddhist world at home and abroad.

In October 2006, the construction of Famen Temple Cultural Scenic Spot in Shaanxi Province.

It was established, and the operation team of Qujiang New Area was stationed and was fully responsible for the construction of Famen Temple Cultural Scenic Spot. The successful operation experience in the past has made Qujiang New Area full of ambition. The planned area of Famen Temple Scenic Area has also increased from the original 5 square kilometers.

Increased to square kilometres, investment has also increased. After the completion of the scenic spot, the scale of investment has reached 3.2 billion yuan. Excessive commercialization is not only given to the Shaolin Temple.

brought a bad reputation and also to Buddhist culture.

It had a big impact. Buddhism is the Pure Land of the Six Roots, however, when temples become businesses and traveling monks become professions, Buddhism becomes obsolete. Ultimately, it is the temple itself that is affected.

By the end of 2020, there were 10,000 temples in China, of which more than 20% had been commercialized, mainly in Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Henan and Sichuan.

In the face of the outside world's doubts about the Shaolin Temple, Shi Yongxin.

Zeng said: "Shaolin Temple has gained international influence from a dilapidated temple to now, and how much it has gained from the society should also be borne at the same time." "In the Buddhist world, there has always been a contradiction between piety and desire.

Currently, the commercialization of the temple is still ongoing. There is still a long way to go in finding a balance between the nature of religion and commercialization.
