Listen, we are Buddhists, so when we go to the temple, we need to know a few certain rules, in Buddhist terms, the dignity of a Buddhist. Don't wear a blue robe, call yourself a Buddhist, but when you go to the temple, you don't know how to behave, it's very strange.

Listen, when talking to monks, you should say yes, yes, yes, when you go to the temple, when you meet them, clasp your hands together, bow slightly "Amitabha Buddha", it's so cute, why not do it. It doesn't matter whether the person you greet is virtuous or worthy or not, that's their business, it's your business to greet them. Some people say, oh my, those people are no better than me, they're the same age as my children and grandchildren, they're just better than me in terms of head and shirt. I'd say, that's better than me. If you can, try going to the temple, shaving your head and wearing monk's clothes, getting up at three or four in the morning to practice, being vegetarian for several months in a row, doing the work above and below, accepting the labor of serving, chanting sutras morning and night, then we can talk, not to mention the thousands of rules of discipline and precepts. It will probably take a few weeks for the roof to fall off.

Listen, the monks are very nice, some of them are also funny, like to joke around to make you happy, but don't get ahead of them because of that. There are some Buddhists who are always close to monks and nuns, like to joke around, and eventually treat them as friends, holding hands and legs, pulling on shirts and pants, and putting their arms around each other. Actually, the monks are close to each other to avoid creating distance, but try saying hello but not answering, asking questions but not talking, then calling them monks and being arrogant like ghosts. In general, don't think that monks are easy and treat them as equals, it's a sin. This is too much.

Listen, when you go to the temple, don't touch the monks' belongings or simply the personal belongings of the monks. "Monks and laypeople have their own belongings", people in the world and monks have their own belongings, if you share them you will commit a sin, Buddha will not be happy. For example, don't touch the abbot's chair or the bowl, chopsticks, and sandals. The Vinaya teaches that when you see a monk's chair, even if he doesn't pass by, you still have to bow your head, let alone sit on it and play. Do you want to be an abbot? Also, yesterday, a little Buddhist girl suddenly climbed onto my bed to sleep. When I walked in, I was shocked, thinking she was sick, but she was sleepy, as if she was at a resort. I said, "Oh my god, how can you guys sleep so well on your beds?" She rubbed her eyes and lay still, saying, "I'm sleepy." That's great, I'm a Buddhist, let alone a girl who dares to climb onto a monk's bed to sleep. Wake up, one day the Dharma Protectors will break your legs, my child.

Listen, Vietnam is so rich, why build resorts, amusement parks, and amusement parks, there are some places that don't charge money, why don't you go, why go to the temple to sit and have fun and then go home. Not only that, when you come in, you start dragging your sisters, aunts, brothers, and uncles in, drag them down to the kitchen to eat until their faces are full, then sit and gossip, this guy is handsome, that guy is dirty, this monk has acne, or that Buddhist girl is pregnant. Oh, why? If you go to the temple, please find something to do to have fun, more deeply, to avoid losing blessings, and if you eat or drink anything, no one will regret it, just please clean up after eating, people in the temple are very busy practicing, no one has time to serve us. When you go to the temple and see something, get involved and help. If you drag each other in and then sit around, talk, date... I don't like it, to be honest.

Listen, if you've asked your parents to let your family go to the temple, then go there and come back safely. Don't use the name of going to the temple to hang around a bit and then drag each other out, even go out drinking. It's fine during the day, but going at night is terrible, and you even wear the clothes you went to the temple without changing. What if something happens on the street, a car hits a dog, bites it, etc., it brings shame to the temple. Parents trust the temple too much, thinking that going to the temple is so good, all the people are kind, so they let their children go without thinking, not knowing that when they go to the temple, they gather their tribe and invite each other to go. Please think of the temple, of the monk, if something happens, they take their children to the temple and scold them, it's a pity for the abbot, who knows anything, and naturally they're in debt. We're grown up now, don't use the name of going to the temple to legitimize our own partying. Okay.

Listen, if you go to the temple and accidentally see some pretty monks, nuns, or uncles, just look at them for fun, don't bring them home. Why hold them in your heart and miss them, lose sleep and appetite, blame them, they're monks, not terrorists, so why blame them, it's a sin. Start to ask for their phone number on Facebook and all sorts of things, start to put up a profile picture, add a little heart next to it. Amitabha Buddha. Let them become monks, they left their parents, left their family to become monks, don't let a little selfishness ruin their whole life of being monks, if you love them, keep it in your heart, occasionally buy a cup of milk tea or a bag of rice paper to give them, don't overdo it, people will judge the abbot for not knowing how to teach his disciples. But you have to be determined, if you can marry them, then love them, if you can't marry them, don't love them, it's a waste. There are many beautiful people out there, why love those without hair?

Listen, if you go to the temple and you see some monks who have a little slip of the tongue or are a little hot-tempered or have some small mistakes, don't pay attention to it, monks are also human beings and have not yet become Buddhas, so everyone still has mistakes, why be so attached, saying that going to the temple is like this, going to the temple is like that. But not everyone goes to the temple for ideals, there are many fierce elements, so when you see something good, learn, when you see something bad, avoid, when you see someone who is cute and gentle and you feel close to learn a lot, then be close, when you see someone who still has too much worldly habits or who practices evil and acts strangely, don't go there, if you have questions, it's better to ask, it's worse to tell.

Listen, each monk has his own strengths, his own passion, his own field. For example, some people are good at writing, some are good at praying, some are good at arranging flowers, some are good at organizing, some are good at MC, some are good at singing, some are good at playing musical instruments, some are good at studying sutras... don't see one side and judge this monk is not as good as that monk, etc., start to tease, brothers in the temple have conflicts, you are committing a sin, Buddha taught that going to the temple is not allowed to be nosy.

On the 9th day of Tet, I wrote a few bold words for fun, but it doesn't mean anything. Know to avoid it, don't commit any offense. But if you have done it, then stop. But the temple is a place of compassion, gentleness, no one is stubborn, monks are also very lovely. I wrote this article as a Buddhist who goes to the temple, not a monk, so after reading it, don't wonder and say this or that. I just see that my fellow Buddhists have not learned much about dignity, so I'll tell you a little bit for fun. ANGER AND IGNORANCE CAN DAMAGE LIFETIME.

Whatever you say, I hope everyone, especially young Buddhists, will actively go to the temple, learn, and serve the Triple Gem. There are many groups of people who go to the temple, so stay away from forces that entice and entice you to play around, whatever it is, keeping the temple's reputation is the most important thing, and when you go to the temple, you should maintain a bit of dignity. At the beginning of the year, I have a few words of advice for you all.
