Recruitment of Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou: Will the commercialization of Lingyin Temple affect monks' practice without becoming a monk?

Regarding the proposition that the commercialization of Lingyin Temple does not affect the practice of monks, I think we should look at it in two ways, and we can't kill it with a stick, nor can we be absolutely sure. The following is a detailed introduction.

One: Lingyin Temple recruits people, causing heated discussion. About recent years. Temple recruitment? The topic can be said to be a point that everyone has always liked to discuss, including whether it is necessary to apply for more than two or graduate degrees. Can I still drink and dance if I am hired? And whether girls can apply. This recruitment information of Lingyin Temple answers some of the above questions for us. From this recruitment information, we can see that only a bachelor's degree is needed to meet the requirements, and after the competition, you don't have to eat fast and recite Buddha, just do your own editing work. In addition, according to the time of commuting, it can be inferred that your private life will not be controlled by others. It can be said that you can do whatever you want after work at 4: 30 in the afternoon. Apart from these other restrictions, there are basically no restrictions. The only pity is that the salary income is not specified. But even if there is no salary statement, there are still many people on the Internet who want to apply for Lingyin Temple, and the comments below the post are in full swing.

Two: Times have changed, and commercialization is the general trend. In the traditional concept of most people, Buddhism is a clean and secular practice place, and everything related to modernization should not appear here. Then, under the influence of this concept, most people scoff at the commercial operation of temples, and some even think that Buddhism is leading to a dead end, because once commercialized, monks will not be monks, and they will practice everything. Bullshit? . However, in my opinion, the commercial operation of temples is not so terrible. On the contrary, I think it is a kind of progress and improvement, which is conducive to the temple's better integration into this ever-changing world. Otherwise, if you can't keep up with the development of the times, you will be eliminated by this world. I think this situation is not what everyone wants to see. Therefore, regarding the commercial operation of Lingyin Temple, I don't think it is necessary for everyone to deny that it is useless. What's more, I will never go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha again, because you will be more active than anyone when you go, and you will believe in the old monk's way than anyone else. What we have to do is to accept the changes in the commercialization of temples naturally and frankly.

Three: the master leads the door and practices in the individual. There is such a classic dialectics in philosophy. Internal cause is the root of change, and external cause is the condition of change? For a monk who wants to practice, as long as his will is firm enough and he has a Buddha in his heart, the change of the so-called external environment is not enough to affect the final outcome. He should be a master of Tao, and he will still be a master of Tao. On the other hand, if he has no intention of becoming a Buddha, even if the temple is not commercialized, the Taoist priest has nothing to do with him. Therefore, the commercialization of Lingyin Temple will not affect the practice of some monks, unless he can't control himself and chooses to fall voluntarily. This is only a disadvantage brought by the commercialization of Lingyin Temple, but there is no way to avoid it.
