What are the tricks for the temple to cheat money?

Monks build temples to inherit China's excellent traditional culture and cultivate themselves. At the same time, they also build temples to promote Buddhism and educate all beings. Temple management is an ancient management mode in China, with a set of traditional and strict economic management methods, and the accounts are published monthly. The temple has a clear distinction between public and private functions. The economic income of the temple is mainly donated by believers. The expenditure of temple economy includes: the maintenance of ancient temple buildings, the construction of new religious buildings, the protection of cultural relics, cultural education, the promotion of Buddhism, charity, and the salaries of public utilities and personnel. In the expenditure, the daily living expenses of workers and monks and the subsidies of monks account for a very low proportion of the total expenditure of temples, and most of these funds are used for major projects such as the protection of cultural relics and historical sites and cultural education. Some people see that temples have a certain income, and they want to put the construction and charity expenses such as cultural relics protection into their own pockets. Therefore, although they don't understand Buddhism and culture, they invest in building temples with only one purpose: to make money! These businessmen with legal approval from the government became the owners of the temple, and invited several so-called monks (why is it called so-called, maybe the lay man shaved his head and faked it; There are also real monks, but their motives are not pure and they have no faith. After being discovered by master, he was expelled from the mountain gate to join the merchants. Some monks who become monks but don't want to become monks, seeing that the real temple is more austere and has more rules and regulations, go to the merchant's door to pose and start a business. Their tricks are as follows:

One is to charge high admission fees. Sign contracts with tour groups to attract a large number of tourists and earn ticket fees. The second is to sell high-priced incense. Generally, many people run a candle business next to the temple and rely on the temple to maintain the family's life. However, corporate temples will sell high-priced incense in temples, ranging from tens to thousands of dollars. These fragrances are made of grains, grass and other impurities and essence, which are shoddy, toxic substances seriously exceed the standard, and the cost is very low. The real environment-friendly fragrance is perfume synthesis, which costs a lot. Have you considered how to sell for more than 1000 yuan at the cost of tens of dollars? Pure deception! Some companies will cooperate with tour guides to guide you to burn high incense. According to informed sources, it is generally 50-50 for sellers.

The third is to fake the living Buddha master to tell your fortune and then let you eliminate the disaster. The company will send child care or cooperate with tour guides, saying that a living Buddha master has great kung fu and talks big. Child care has obtained a lot of useful information from tourists or pilgrims. You become invisible in front of your master, including the place where you live, so that you are stunned and pay without thinking.

The fourth is to promote all kinds of "open things". These things include jade Buddha, gold and silver antiques, and they say they can save houses, eliminate disasters and pray for blessings, and everything. When you spent two or three thousand yuan to buy it back for experts to see, you said it was only worth tens of dollars. I often meet some businessmen who show off the treasures he invited in a certain place in front of me, that is, ordinary processed and colored jade, which costs thousands of dollars at most.

The fifth is to do high-priced disaster relief. Some monasteries are pleasure, that is to say, you can give some support at will, and even if you become a monk, you will be given voluntary labor. But here, doing a fake ritual may cost several times or even dozens of times the price of a real temple, and it is said that it can save you from a catastrophe.
