I met a monk on the road today. I calculated my fortune-telling, which is quite accurate. I sent the lady a string of beads and an amulet.

Amitabha! You have just been cheated by a fake monk. Real monks don't tell fortune to people all over the street. Divination and fortune telling are forbidden by Buddhist disciples. In other words, this kind of behavior belongs to heresy, not a true Buddhist disciple. For a long time, the teaching function of Buddhist monasteries has not been restored, because of the lack of talents to spread Buddhism. As a result, some witches, diviners and other witch doctors pretended to be Buddhism, deceiving and confusing the ignorant masses, which caused social unrest. The mass media mistakenly believe that these fallacies and heresies are the inherent content of Buddhism, but they are actually false and blaspheme the dross of Buddhism. Therefore, Buddhism has also been labeled as "superstitious" mysticism. I hope you will have the opportunity to listen to the enlightenment of the Great Virtue Monk and enhance your understanding of Buddhism and Buddhism, so that you will not be deceived.
