A few days ago, a monk at a temple in Kaijiang, Sichuan Province, scolded a visitor who brought incense sticks outside, sparking debate among netizens.
On Saturday (March 20), a video circulated online showing a woman saying that she went to the Jinshan Temple in Kaijiang, Sichuan to burn incense and was stopped by monks at the temple for carrying incense bought outside, and that the monks dropped her incense, and that the monks said she had to buy incense from them before she could burn it. The woman repeatedly asked who had stipulated this? The monk said “you do not care”, and later the monks present also followed her scolding.
In this regard, netizens have been discussing. Many netizens said these monks are “fake monks”. “Covered in patina…fake monks.” “A little compassion is not, full of brain, a stomach full of bad water, full of money taste, behind the incense field to investigate.” “This shave a bald man and pretend to be a monk.” “The mouth full of benevolence and morality full of profit-oriented.” “This monk six roots are not pure, desire is not shallow na.”
