Taoist priests are the clergy of Chinese Taoism. Among them, male Taoist priests are called "Qiandao", also known as feather man, immortal, immortal, Taoist, feather flow, feather coat, Ziyang, alchemist, Huangguan, sir, Xiyi, etc. The following is what I brought to you. Why are poor Taoists and rich monks in China?, For your reference.
Why are poor Taoists and rich monks in China?
We all know that Feng Shui comes from people. The monk can spend a lot of money to learn Feng Shui, or open a convenient door for people with real things, and then use the cemetery made of real Feng Shui to hide in a neutral place. The advantage is that if Feng Shui is wrong and something goes wrong in the family, it will be the retribution for the evil done by the family. If the family is good, it will be the result of the blessing of the Buddha. It will not be said that it is Feng Shui. Doing so is tantamount to publicizing Buddhism in a disguised form, This is a virtuous circle.
In contrast, Taoism has been artificially added to Buddhism since the Qing Dynasty. In addition to some people who can't see people better than themselves, there are also some Taoists who start classes for petty profits. Well, you open your class, but don't always say that your monk doesn't learn things that are Taoist, Taoist and Taoist. You know that there are many people who cheat in Feng Shui. Because of their own technology, they can't get rich after burial, Therefore, there is the saying that Grandpa protects his grandson. Just because these people are not skilled, some Taoists lower the threshold and earn the door wall for their own self-interest. In this way, these two knives have identity and charging capital. However, after learning, the students use them ineffectively for fear of causing disasters, so they began to doubt Taoism. This is a vicious circle.
In view of the fact that some "Taoists" dare to do anything, so the real Taoists with ideas and abilities are pulled back and stabbed. However, the monks only accept people with high education or real things as monks, and then make money together. The "Taoists" boast that they suppress others everywhere. This result is unspeakable.
In the final analysis, the fundamental Taoist is poor. What is poor is thought, and what is rich is concept
What is the difference between a Taoist and a monk?
Monk, as long as you can recite namo Amitabha, you can wander the Jianghu. If you are merciful and kind, the people will choose thumb: an absolutely good monk. If you don't kill or eat meat, you are a perfect master in the eyes of the people.
Taoist priests are not. At first sight, he asked: can Taoist priest tell fortune? If answer: No. At that moment, the Taoist priest gave a discount in the other party's heart. If the other party asks again: can you Feng Shui? If answer: No. Yes, I think this Taoist doesn't have real talent. If the other party asks: the Taoist priest will have eight characters, face changes, predict the layout, change luck, choose a day, Tai Chi, go to Italy, eight trigrams, palm, piano, flute, calligraphy and painting, chant, spell, draw, pinch, step, step, step, vigorous, altar, Dharma, acupuncture, plaster, fall, shock, drive away evil spirits, chant, rhyme, open light, bless Jingzhai, super alchemy and meditation..... Anything, if you say no, you can be a lump of cake in his heart.
Monks talk about giving alms, including material alms, financial alms, Dharma alms, etc. of course, the biggest alms are Dharma alms, that is, the big monk gives you scriptures. In return, the monks give money to the temple to protect themselves from greater wealth and better luck. As long as the money is in place, any disaster will be solved for you. Why, four words: boundless Buddha Dharma.
Taoists talk about nature. Everything goes with nature and reason. Your business is not good. Find a Taoist priest to pray for luck and Feng Shui. The child cried in fear and asked the Taoist priest to calm down. When the old man was ill, he asked the Taoist priest to chant scriptures to prolong his life and eliminate disasters. Hysteria attached to his body, he hanged himself and jumped from a building to die. He asked the Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits.
Taoist priest is so tired that he has to live and die. Let's deal with it. Let's give him money. I don't like it anymore. Eh, isn't it the responsibility of Taoists to subdue demons and eliminate demons? Is it not the duty of Taoist priests to pray for disaster? Isn't it a Taoist's duty to live in peace and contentment? Wow, wipe, shouldn't we "pay for meals and pay for stores"? In this case, Taoists have to be obligatory, so they can't mention labor fees. If Taoists don't become immortals, they have to eat. Even if they can dig the valley, they have to go out and buy tickets. Even if they can drive the cloud and guard the sword, they always have to repair temple statues and seal scriptures. Do they have to force Taoists to learn to turn stones into gold one by one? Of course, when Taoists have the obligation to help, why do they have the obligation? Because some people have their original fate.
The monks also talk about the third cause and effect. Pour up three lives, not to mention rice grains. You haven't even eaten a piece of dirt and garbage. Do you think you're interested in asking me for voluntary help?
As the old saying goes, "Taoists don't make a fortune". Taoism doesn't have to be a monk, but there are many celibates, because some Dharma practitioners will commit five disadvantages and three deficiencies after practicing some spells. There are also Dharma practitioners who get married. That's the fate of life. After all, they get together less and leave more. (the Taoist who doesn't practice Dharma ignores this paragraph. Don't be afraid. He didn't say you). Learn the arts of literature and martial arts, return goods and know the family. It's good to ask the Taoist priest to be your volunteer worker.
Taoist priest takes Qing's money to eliminate disaster with you. If you receive money from you, you will have to take advantage of your karma. After going back, I bought fragrant flowers, fruit lamps, water, rice and oil to support my ancestors to eliminate this karma. If you are not a relative, how can a Taoist help you carry your karma. The law without money doesn't work. Anyway, I don't take the Tao as a favor. Do I believe it or not.
Here's a point to add. Kaiguang was originally from Taoism, but later Buddhism copied it and applied it to perfection, startling heaven and earth and weeping ghosts and gods. It can do anything! The most typical case is that the monk lights up the car and the human body!
