If monks practice seriously, their merits and blessings go far beyond their families. Therefore, if the family does not respect the monk, the karma will be great. Therefore, the Buddha taught his family to respect monks, on the one hand, to protect their families from accidents at home. On the other hand, it is also to protect monks from the influence of their families, from being polluted by outsiders' karma and from obstacles in practice. You may not believe this cause and effect, but the Buddha ordered monks to avoid their families if it was not necessary. It is also mentioned in many Buddhist scriptures that family members do not respect their families. For example, "Don't give up the Buddhist Scripture" says: "In the shining world, when the Buddha was born, there were 50 people, each making 500 sutras and each supporting 1,000 monks. At that time, they talked more about the fault of releasing Huiji from abstinence, so that their bad karma matured and they fell into hell for 90,000 years. Later, 500 people were born, or they became stone girls. Cover up their good deeds with their karma. Good people should be convinced and understand this truth. After hearing this method, don't say anything, let alone hear it, when you see that the master has broken the precepts. A good man, if a person gouges out the eyes of all beings and scolds the mage for being disgusting and contemptuous, is better than the former; If a person kills all sentient beings, whoever sits with his back to him when talking about the mage will be guilty for millions or even countless times, which is worse than the former. A man who slanders a mage slanders all Buddhas. If he wants to serve the Buddha, he should say the mage. "
So don't blame the "hierarchy" in the temple. This is a protective measure to protect your own business and protect monks from family pollution.
