There are many monks of similar types to Shi Yongxin.

One very important reason for their proliferation is:

For thousands of years, the tide of anti-knowledge and anti-rationality has surged endlessly.

When rational, healthy, and free voices are suppressed or even ruthlessly eliminated, it creates a stage for various religious hooligans to perform.

Counterfeit and inferior masters have also emerged, which can be described as a perfect match.

In terms of faith, many people rely only on utilitarianism, and they must receive immediate rewards in this life.

Isn't this so-called belief a farce of civilization?

As a country Taoist, my true belief is anti-utilitarianism, and there is no immediate effect.

Faith addresses the fundamental issue, which is the problem of life and death.

If faith is a medicine, it can only be a remedy for the problems of life and death.

God is not a wandering doctor; He can do what He wants, but only guides you to the other shore.

Many people are eager to burn incense and worship deities, donating money to temples, not for the sake of the afterlife.

He was unwilling to think about this question before seeing the coffin.

Only seek to achieve excess real returns through this method.

Moreover, one commits sins, seeks forgiveness, and continues to commit sins.

This is by no means the true intention of faith.

Burning incense is a way to express inner devotion; what does the thickness of the incense or the burning time matter? Does the Buddha care about this?

Many people are so enthusiastic because they want to gain some advantages from the divine.

Many of my friends around me believe in this today and that tomorrow, and this is thanks to this extreme utilitarianism.

In a sense, hell has a more positive meaning than heaven. Because of hell, we must cultivate goodness in order to escape a terrible fate.

This also conforms to the logic of not knowing death, how can one know life.

In my opinion, this logic is somewhat frightening, but highly constructive.

Cultivating virtue, pursuing justice, and aiding those in crisis are the essential paths for our quest for liberation.

At least it's much more effective than being the first to grab the opportunity or stuffing money into the donation box.

If God is omnipotent and just, he will certainly see everyone's cultivation and make a reasonable judgment.
