The reason why the monk was kicked out of the temple was because of what he had done?

According to the "Buddha's Speech on the Merits of Building Pagodas": "All dharmas arise due to causes and conditions, I say it is cause and condition; when the causes and conditions are exhausted, they cease to exist, I say so."

As we all know, Buddhism originally originated in Nepal and was not introduced to China until the period of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty. Buddhism from ancient India, after being translated into Chinese, became Chinese Buddhism. After that, it quickly took root and sprouted on the land of China, and gradually became luxuriant.

Today, after thousands of years, Buddhism has become a major religion in China. China has become a country with a strong Buddhist culture. It can be said that Buddhist temples can be seen everywhere in the country. At the same time, there are of course a large number of monks, and there is an endless stream of pilgrims coming to burn incense.

Being a monk is to cultivate your mind and nature and pursue transcendence from the world. As a monk, you must achieve inner peace and tranquility, which is what many people yearn for. It is precisely for this reason that since the spread of Buddhism, many people have cut off three thousand troubles in order to seek the Dharma and gain inner peace, put on plain clothes, and live in deep mountains and valleys, accompanying the Buddha all day long.

For the monks, entering Buddhism means that secular interests have nothing to do with them. What this article is going to talk about is an example of a businessman turning into a monk.

1. A successful businessman is still trapped in the world of mortals. After transforming into a Daolu monk, he was kicked out of the temple

It can be said that in anyone's life, he will always encounter There are many grievances and hatreds, and for those mortals who cannot bear the sufferings of life, the introduction of Buddhism is undoubtedly one of the ways to relieve them.

In the Puxian Temple in Nantong, Jiangsu, there was a monk named Daolu. Before he became a monk, this monk Daolu was still a successful businessman. So what happened? What made him give up his superior life and be willing to spend his whole life with the green lanterns and ancient Buddhas?

In fact, even people who are successful in their careers may not necessarily be able to understand the laws of love. Monk Daolu is a typical example.

Among the many emotions that people have, love is the most elusive. Before becoming a monk, Daolu experienced two failed marriages. And it was precisely because of this that he finally chose to escape into Buddhism.

Monk Daolu’s first marriage was established under the control of his parents. Because his parents' thoughts were still stuck in the feudal period, they arranged a marriage for Monk Daolu. Not only was this marriage not what Monk Daolu expected, but the marriage partner also had a certain blood relationship with him.

Although Monk Daolu was reluctant in his heart, he finally chose to obey his parents' arrangements. After that, Monk Daolu and his wife had offspring. They originally thought that the birth of offspring would stabilize their family. However, what was unexpected was that shortly after the birth of the child, the gap formed between the couple. Conflict with each other made them finally choose to divorce.

At that time, Monk Daolu was already a successful business elite. At the same time, his parents could not bear to see him die alone at a young age, so they planned to introduce him to a new marriage partner. . However, this marriage was not much better than the first marriage, so in the end Monk Daolu still ended up getting divorced.

Two consecutive failed marriages made Monk Daolu completely lose his illusions and expectations for love, and also caused serious damage to his heart. Finally, in 2010, he At only 35 years old, he chose to convert to Buddhism when he was depressed. So he went to Puxian Temple to get tonsured and become a monk. This ended his secular life in the first half of his life and began their Buddhist life in the second half of their lives.

However, he was later kicked out of the temple and became a "fake monk". What happened?

In fact, the reason why Monk Daolu was kicked out of the temple was not because he did anything wrong, but because of the good deeds he did.

2. He was kind-hearted to help women, but was kicked out of the temple and became a "fake monk"

After becoming a monk, Monk Daolu did not only chant sutras and praise the Buddha, but also In addition, they will also receive pilgrims who come to burn incense and worship Buddha. As time passed, Monk Daolu discovered a strange thing, that is, there were often pregnant women crying and praying in the temple, which made Monk Daolu very confused.

Until 2012, the then monk Daolu was worshiping Buddha, and suddenly a pregnant woman who looked skinny and distracted came in. When he saw the pregnant woman started to cry again, Daolu The monk stepped forward to comfort her, hoping to enlighten her. But the woman's emotions could not be calmed down for a long time.

After some comfort from Monk Daolu, the pregnant woman revealed her difficulties. It turned out that her trip was to liberate her unborn child. Due to family reasons, she was unable to give birth to the child and was forced to undergo an abortion. She was very unwilling in her heart, but was unable to do anything about it. In desperation, she came to the temple, hoping to save her child.

Facing the desperate pregnant woman, Monk Daolu was deeply shocked when he learned the truth.

In Buddhist education, abortion is not advocated because every life has the right to live.

When facing a pregnant woman, Monk Daolu recalled his only daughter, so he felt the same way and began to persuade the woman to give birth to the child and help her find a solution.

After encountering several situations where pregnant women came to pray for their children, a new idea came to Monk Daolu’s mind. He plans to use his savings before becoming a monk to help pregnant women in need, so that new lives can be born into the world.

For this reason, Monk Daolu has borne all the expenses for pregnant women from hospital delivery to confinement. If the pregnant woman is unable to raise the child, Monk Daolu will also be responsible for raising the child until the age of 18. And his only request to the pregnant women is that they come to meet their children when they are 18 years old. Of course, they can pick up the child at any time during this period.

It can be seen from this that what Monk Daolu did was a kind act. He selflessly devoted his efforts and money to provide free help to pregnant women who were unable to raise their children. It was really It’s so admirable!

Because of Monk Daolu's kind deeds, his reputation is growing. However, his interactions with pregnant women have caused some people to spread false rumors. Although these rumors were false, they were unacceptable to Buddhists who valued tranquility, so they had no choice but to expel Monk Daolu from the temple. In order to help pregnant women, Monk Daolu would rather be kicked out than stop his good deeds.

So, what happened to Monk Daolu and his relief plan after leaving Buddhism?

In the past three to eight years, we have helped more than 200 pregnant women, and they have as many as 22 children.

After leaving Puxian Temple, monk Daolu, who had no place to go, went to Wanshan Temple. ,

Even though there are difficulties and obstacles ahead, Monk Daolu still does not intend to stop.

After it spread on the Internet, many helpless pregnant women found Monk Daolu and entrusted their children to him. Monk Daolu never refused these requests for help. Therefore, since 2013, many pregnant women have successfully given birth with the help of Monk Daolu. By 2016, his charity was supported by many enthusiastic people, and people donated funds, allowing Monk Daolu to help more than 200 pregnant women.

After the deeds of Monk Daolu spread, he became famous and accepted interviews from some media. As for his good deeds, he said that he was just doing good deeds and hoped that those new lives would survive. opportunity.

After those children grew up, most of them were taken back by their parents, but there were still 22 children who stayed with Monk Daolu for various reasons, and Daolu Monk Lu also shouldered the responsibility of raising them and became their common father.

Perhaps such a selfless and great act as that of Monk Daolu is the meaning of Buddha.
