The Hanshan Temple outside Suzhou City recruits a host with a monthly salary of 80,000 yuan. If the Buddha asks you to devote yourself to it, will you do it?

Hanshan Temple, a famous Buddhist temple located in Gusu District, Suzhou City, was first built during the Xiaoliang Dynasty of the Southern Dynasties (502-519 AD). Previously, our understanding of it was through the ancient famous saying "Hanshan Temple outside Suzhou City, the midnight bell rings to the passenger ship". Now, Hanshan Temple has become popular again because of this recruitment notice.

The recruitment notice issued by Hanshan Temple is too tempting. The intern monks have to work for two years, with food and accommodation included, and they have to travel to do things. The monthly salary is 18,000 yuan; if they are capable, they can become a full-time monk, and the salary after becoming a full-time monk fluctuates between 20,000 and 50,000 yuan. The abbot in the temple earns a monthly salary of 80,000 yuan, which is tax-free and includes a year-end bonus. A host can earn such a high salary, which is even better than a CCTV host!

After reading this recruitment notice, are you determined to let Buddha accept you? !

The most humane thing about this recruitment notice is that it stipulates that "working hours are 8 hours/day. During this period, you must abstain from sex and alcohol. In principle, you will not interfere in your private life after get off work." This is simply several times more enjoyable than being a monk and hitting the clock all day.

However, after this recruitment notice appeared on the Internet, a staff member of Hanshan Temple refuted the rumor, pointing out that "this is false. The temple has not published any recruitment information on the Internet at all." And, "No. We welcome people who want to become monks, but it is impossible to come to the temple to get paid.”

Although this is a rumor, why is it still so popular?

First of all, I feel that Hanshan Temple can definitely afford this money.

"There are all the good words in the world, and the monks from the famous mountains in the world have them all." Nowadays, which famous mountains and rivers do not have nunneries and temples, and which nunneries and temples are not packaged as tourist attractions? As long as you open the mountain gate, you will not worry about someone coming in to deliver incense. Money is required for entering the door, money for burning incense, and money for ringing the bell. There is a lot of cash in the merit box. Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts. A monthly salary of 80,000? Even if the monthly salary is 800,000 yuan, the temple can definitely afford this salary.

The other thing is, "In principle, you will not interfere in your private life after get off work", which everyone will understand instantly.

There has definitely been a lot of controversy in Buddhism in recent years. Whether it is the Shaolin family’s real-name report, various Rinpoche’s wandering around Chaoyang District, or the legend of “Master Tai let me go”, or the internet celebrity Taoist priest Liang Xingyang, all make people feel that there is no place for Qingxiu. Purity, Buddha, gods and gods are all commercialized.

So, in people’s minds, the monk is no longer a good monk who can chant sutras; therefore, they no longer need to worship Buddha sincerely, but they say, "I spent so much money this time, it must be effective!" "This is not burning incense and worshiping Buddha, but naked bribery. They have this kind of attitude towards the Buddha. If they post a recruitment notice that offers a high salary and does not interfere with their private lives, what reason is there to not believe it? !
