"That's right, today's society is becoming more and more realistic. What kind of eminent monk is that? Last time, my mother bought me a piece of jade, and it was consecrated by some eminent monk. It cost 1,000 yuan. I knew how to chant sutras to the jade pendant.

, you can collect 1,000 yuan for no reason!”

"What's 1,000 yuan? I've seen temples charge hundreds of thousands for consecration."

"It feels like a lie and has no effect."

"I can't explain this clearly. If you believe it, you will have it, if you don't believe it, you won't. The main thing is to seek comfort in your heart! But it is true that monks are becoming more and more realistic these days, and most people really can't afford one."

.......

As Yang Ming's Weibo post spreads more and more widely, its influence becomes greater and greater.

Flies don't bite seamless eggs.

Buddhism itself is not monolithic. With so many monks, their quality quickly varies.

There must be monks who are dedicated to studying Buddhism, and there are also monks who deceive the world and steal their reputation.

It's just that the Buddhist institutions that have the most contact with the public are those with a profit-making nature.

Therefore, when Yang Ming brought up this matter on his scarf, he immediately received the approval of countless netizens.

That's the truth.

Today's monks are becoming more and more realistic and talk about money more and more.

Sometimes when traveling to a temple, if you don't donate some money to the merit box, you won't even be allowed to leave.

If you buy another incense to worship Buddha, the incense will also be classified into high and low.

Most people can't afford good incense.

As netizens exposed more and more, this matter became the biggest issue.

Most of them are saying that monks are not good.

The media also discovered that the commotion on the Internet was getting louder and louder.

Especially after they saw Yang Mingfa's scarf, they immediately reposted the report and beamed with excitement.

It seems that this matter is getting bigger and bigger.

However, most of the news reports are basically criticisms of the crazy money-making behavior of monks and temples.

The few eminent monks from the Yanjing Buddhist Association who had been targeting Yang Ming almost lost their noses in anger when they saw so many negative news about Buddhism suddenly breaking out.

Especially when they learned that everything was caused by Yang Mingfa's scarf, they couldn't help but curse.

I have the desire to compete with Yang Ming in person.

But now there are so many negative news about monks and temples, and they are suddenly overwhelmed and unable to lift their heads.

In fact, rumors about these monks who were the most popular dancers in the past have been exposed frequently on the Internet, and almost all of them are black materials.

There is a fee for consecration, and it is not a small amount.

If you participate in any ribbon-cutting ceremony, the appearance fee will start with five figures.

If a child is one year old, if he asks for a Peaceful Buddha, the cost is simply scary.

As more and more revelations were made, the monks from the Yanjing Buddhist Association did not even dare to raise their heads.

What they did also had a very bad impact on Buddhism, which to some extent caused many people to have a bad impression of Buddhism.

Soon, it will be the finale of "The Legend of White Snake".

The Buddhist Association made a decision. Several "advanced monks" who were frequently exposed on the Internet were expelled from the Buddhist Association. Their registered jade certificates were also canceled and they were completely removed!

When the news came out, everyone was shocked.

Moreover, at a press conference held by Buddhist related people, they also stated that the previous actions against Yang Ming were just an individual's and did not represent the entire Buddhist association.

The Buddhist Association really doesn't care about this matter.

It's not a big deal if someone makes a TV series based on ancient folk myths and stories. It's not a sensitive religious subject.

But now some people are jumping out to find fault.

It was indeed a bit overdone.

It is well deserved to end in such an embarrassing situation.

at a press conference.

Many media have asked what Buddhism thinks of the verse Yang Ming wrote on his scarf.

The elderly monk said with a smile on his face: "Perhaps the most powerful people in the world are not those who can fight back strongly when others bully them, but those who can still smile when others deliberately bully them.

A person who is elegant and calm, neither humble nor arrogant, neither angry nor happy, who doesn’t say a word, but makes everyone understand what he means and smile together.”

"The heart is like the blue sea, without any waves; the nature is like a quiet orchid, fragrant in the empty valley; the shape is like the bright moon, with every drop of brilliance."

After saying this, the kind-hearted old monk walked away.

After hearing this, many media reporters smacked their lips and felt something was wrong.

When the Buddhist Association's press conference, what the old monk said was reported by the media, it aroused the curiosity of countless people.

If you listen carefully, the above is really the best comment on the verse spoken by Yang Ming.

Is this an indirect admission that the verses written by Yang Ming are indeed in line with the tenets of Buddhism?

If it is an admission, what does the following paragraph mean?

Many people feel that there is more to this old monk's words than just that.

Yang Ming also saw what the old monk said for the first time. After contemplating for a moment, the corners of his mouth twitched.

This old monk means what he says!

Sure enough, there are many smart people at this time!

Soon someone understood what the old monk said.

"There are people in the world who slander me, bully me, humiliate me, laugh at me, underestimate me, despise me, hate me, or lie to me. How should I deal with them?"

"Just tolerate him, let him, let him, avoid him, be patient with him, respect him, ignore him, stay for a few more years, you can take a look at him."

This sentence was posted by Yang Ming on his scarf.

If we really want to follow the literal meaning of this sentence, Yang Ming should have responded with the attitude of the second sentence when faced with others' deliberate targeting.

In the words of the old monk, it is treated with a smile.

More vulgarly, it is to 'conquer people with virtue', rather than the current situation. Not only has the reputation of the Buddhist Association been affected to a certain extent, but the original monks also paid a heavy price for it.

In other words, the old monk admitted that the verses spoken by Yang Ming were indeed good, but Yang Ming himself did not have the ambition described in the verses.

After others interpreted the meaning of the old monk's words, many people also criticized Yang Ming in the media.

However, Yang Ming soon posted another verse on the Internet: The body is like a bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror. Always brush it diligently to prevent it from causing dust!
