Monks tell fortunes and treat diseases.

There are many fake monks now. There are fake monks everywhere in the streets, stations and docks. They used all kinds of tricks-treating diseases, eliminating disasters, telling fortune, attaching Buddha statues and pretending to give alms to temples. Wait, everyone should be vigilant.

Real monks usually live in temples to practice. Even if he goes out to do business, he comes and goes back to the temple in a hurry, and staying in the street is absolutely nothing. If we want to give money to monks, please go directly to the regular temple and put it in the merit box of the regular temple. This is really the merit of supporting the three treasures. Streets and alleys, stations and docks, should be vigilant. In order not to be fooled, giving money to fake monks is tantamount to conniving at those bad guys dressed as fake monks and deceiving people to destroy the reputation of Buddhism. This is not only undesirable, but also sinful.

In addition, according to Buddhist scriptures, it is best to provide four things for your family-medicine, diet, bed seat and clothes. Because that's all a real monk needs.
