On April 23, a woman posted that she was scolded for wearing a skirt to the temple, and the tube was really wide.
She explained that she was going to Mianyang to run errands, and when she passed by the Holy Water Temple, she wore a skirt and went in for a spin. As a result, he was pointed at by a stranger passing by and said, "How can you dress like this to enter the temple, corrupt customs, and disrespect the Bodhisattva!"
The woman immediately replied: Bodhisattvas can be naked, why do you care about me?
The text is accompanied by several photos of himself and the Bodhisattva.
In the photo, she is wearing a purple semi-sheer full-breasted dress, which has a faint gauze feeling, and looks very elegant. She touched the Buddha statue and looked at the Bodhisattva, looking at a very pious atmosphere.
The controversy is: due to the material, the long skirt will be very close to the wind when it is windy, and the ups and downs of the body can be seen at a glance. There are also people who feel that the exposed area of the chest is too large and untimely.
As soon as the photo was released, it detonated controversy among netizens.
Some netizens said: What's wrong with wearing skirts? Isn't the Buddha statue also bare-chested and breast-exposed. It is more important to have a good heart and good moral character to worship the Buddha.
There are people who support the woman: the Qing Dynasty has fallen, and everyone has the freedom to dress and don't care about the eyes of others.
However, many netizens expressed great opposition and anger at the woman wearing a semi-transparent long skirt and entering the temple to worship the Buddha.
Netizens said: I thought the long skirt was nothing, but when I saw that I could see even my small belly clearly, I was silent.
It looks really like a studio style. Many people even thought of Alyssa Jia's version of Wu Mei's girl's costume at once.
What occasion to wear what kind of clothes, Buddhism has rules, and it is indeed very inappropriate to dress without showing your knees or breasts.
Some people even said: We are not allowed to take a frontal photo of the Bodhisattva, which is disrespectful.
There are also many temples in Thailand, Arabia and other countries, which often have strict dress codes. When tourists go abroad, they will consciously abide by the rules of worshipping Buddha in temples of other countries, which is called "cultural respect".
However, in China, it only talks about the freedom of dress, not about etiquette norms. Isn't this a double standard?
It doesn't mean that you can't enter the temple to worship the Buddha if you wear a long skirt, but those who sincerely worship the Buddha will be welcomed by the Bodhisattva wherever they are.
However, as netizens said, the style and material of this long skirt are really difficult to be elegant.
Not only is it not suitable to appear in the temple, but in many scenes in life, everyone will consciously avoid such clothing when they see it.
Wearing the right clothes in the right place is the most basic moral sentiment, just ask, can you wear red clothes to the funeral with "freedom to dress"?
In fact, the freedom to dress is not incompatible with the observance of etiquette. It's just about whether you really respect your heart.
What do you think about this?
