(Baonghean.vn) - In early spring, people and tourists from all over the world visit, pray and make offerings at temples and pagodas. Taking advantage of this mentality, many superstitious activities have the opportunity to break out, creating ugly images in sacred places.
 |
At Hoang Muoi Temple (Hung Loi Commune, Hung Nguyen District), right in front of the temple gate, there are images of beggars sitting everywhere, despite the no-entry sign, making the temple's picture ugly. |
 |
When people passed by, the beggars immediately held out their hands to ask for money, making many people uncomfortable when going to the temple. |
 |
Not only at Hoang Muoi temple but also at Hong Son temple (Hong Son ward, Vinh city), as soon as entering the temple gate, visitors can easily see the image of beggars sitting in front of the gate. |
 |
Although begging activities take place openly, no authorities have stepped in to stop it. |
 |
Although for many years now, fortune telling activities have been banned by the Hoang Muoi Temple Management Board, many people still take advantage of people's gullibility to lure them into fortune telling through palm reading and physiognomy. |
 |
This activity is sophisticated but not hidden and attracts many participants. Each time he reads a palm, this man receives at least 20 thousand dong. |
 |
In addition, the spirit medium activity was still taking place right in the Hoang Muoi Temple grounds. Many curious people stood watching, creating a noisy and chaotic scene. As soon as the incident was discovered, the temple's management board asked this group of people to stop immediately. |
 |
At temples, it is common to see people hiring priests to perform rituals to ward off bad luck. Since then, many people have been drawn into superstitious practices that cost money, time and effort. |
