Netizen complaint content is as follows: I and my family in the Kuntong Mountain Scenic Area on October 4, got off the bus in the middle platform, was told that you can get a souvenir for free, after receiving a small wooden bead, was led into the house, there is a so-called teacher (dressed as a monk) for us to calculate personal fortunes, and suggested that we light the lamp, saying 100, 300, 500 can be, I and my lover said not to light the lamp, the monk is not pleased, said that the incense lamp is related to the offspring, do not light the lamp will break the incense, will affect the future generations, and even use "no off the offspring" Words. Dare to ask whether there is such a reason under the heavens, it is clear that it is to borrow the Buddha's wealth and ruin the reputation of the Buddha, and also ask the relevant departments to seriously investigate and deal with it. Before leaving the house, the so-called teacher was still saying, "If you don't light the lamp, you'll know next year." Originally, the lighting or not is all voluntary, how much money is donated is in the heart, the monks here are 100, 300, 500, is it not possible to pay 1 yuan and 2 yuan? Am I guilty if I don't light this lamp? Moreover, my lover and I each donated 20 yuan to the scan code. If you don't donate money, the so-called teacher will use suggestive, threatening words to imply that something bad will happen after not lighting the lamp.
For me and my lover, we have been married for less than a year, and this "teacher" can use the words "cut off the incense" and "never queen" without lighting the lamp, which can be said to be a vicious curse. And look at the whole thing, I found that this is all a process, pattern, first of all, when getting off the car, there are guides who repeatedly remind, the front of the yellow room can receive free souvenirs, to the door of the yellow room, someone asks the genus, and then give a small wooden bead with your own affiliation, without any notification and inquiry willingness, let you enter the door to ask the teacher to help you see, the teacher enters the door first compliment two sentences, and then asks the age of marriage and family situation, will be targeted to let you light a certain lamp, The price is all over 100 yuan. In fact, if you buy a lamp yourself, you only need one or two dollars. I don't know how many tourists have been kidnapped and donated in this way before, and how many tourists will still be deceived in the future. In addition, the two-dimensional code is posted at the entrance of the temple throughout the Kuntong Mountain, and tourists blindly scan the code without their knowledge, and the codes scanned everywhere are different, I don't know who owns these two-dimensional codes? I don't know where these donations will eventually go, is there no donation statement? Shouldn't there be an account for tourists?
