Kwan Yin Temple...just wondering....

AhMeng said:

Just a few questions and wondering if forummers here can assist me...

1. Joss sticks are provided free by the Temple...why do people still buy from the joss sticks hawkers outside?

2. The hawkers just outside the Temple also sell flowers. They will ask everyone who is walking towards the Temple to buy...never bought before..but i see lots of people buying...and then u put inside the Temple and then? Are they recycled and out for sale again by the hawkers outside?

3. The fortune tellers outside the Temple...if u believe in Buddhism...everything is fated...why do u need fortune tellers???

4. Today...also got some souls wearing Polo shirts with some 365 logo asking charity for cancer...is it a legitimate charity?

5. I see lots of people praying opposite direction inside the Temple...why huh?

Anyway... i now eating nearby and filing this post....hehehe

I am good at this... other than Q4.. The rest I should be able to answer you...

1. Like what laksa said... Some poeples may wanted to pray more... Reason like prayers were answered, strike 4D, got serious issues needed the kwan yin to help...

2. They will exchange the flowers and bring home wash heng heng!!!

3. Many peoples are curious about fate so go ask the fortune teller...

4. Don't know...

5. You have to pray to Ti Gong first before the kwan yin... Ti gong = 玉王大帝。
