i thought they usually settle for any amount given instead of asking for more?

no lei.. that time he give me a bill of the prayer session what got fruits, flowers and etc.. he said that amount i just pay for it cos me already very upset.. just settle the prayer and make a proper one will do. He ask my parents to give ang bao at the end of the session too. It was like 1 session more than $300

Bubblyl3 SG

they should not have a standard price list for their services also, monks, by right would accept whatever amount ppl give, and wont ask for more.

they believe it's the thoughts that counts in donations

got got.. that tots that count amount is their ang bao money la.. session charges seperate de.

That one can understand.. you must give a bit like donation to temple for their kindness prayer mah.. but this monk actually tell my parents after prayer must give ang bao.

why dun tell him upfront and said no.

no need to give any reasons for saying no. no means no, simple.

that said, he may approach money from other well wishers or strangers, worse. why not complain to buddhist association like SBA, tell them to look into this matter.

i already told him i got no mony to lend him le.. and he keep calling me and sms me.

I didn't know i can complain to buddhist association. Can drop email to SBA ?

1 - does not matter if he is real monk or bogus monk, he is a fellow human who deserves to be help

2 - does not matter if he con you or not as if he really con you, take it as a donation but if he is really sick, then you would have help him.

call and sms you? if he call you again, why dun tell him in a firm manner and said no. if he persists, then you can tell him loudly no means no, hope he get the message.

you can email to SBA about this. does the monk belong to any temple?

Did he specify any amount of ang bao money? did he say after prayers and rites, must pay him how much?

there are a lot of fake monks going around in benz and nice cars, conducting funeral rites and prayers for 1k.

If you invite a real monk from a temple, after he finishes, you just need to give him any amount as ang bao. if you need a monk to chant during funeral rites in future, pls call up a temple and ask.

ya good point

PedoBear SG

if you do not want him to come back, make sure he sees you dressed like this

marcteng SG

why dun tell your parents about it? tell your parents to speak to him or your uncles or aunties?

if all these fail, tell him if he not going to stop, call the police for harrassement.

a real monk wont ask for $$$

a real monk wont ask for a loan

a real monk will let his faith heal his wound

a real monk will let his faith heal his soul

a real monk will not sms u msg " chao cheeie pie"

a real monk smile to ppl even when he is hurt

a real monk still care for ppl even when he himself is trouble by illness

I happen to know this funernal monk that provide prayer services.

Recently, he drop me an sms that he got kidney failure and asking for donation. Of course without any doubt i suggested to give him 100 then he said he very sick asking me to donate 200. Then follow by a loan of $300. I told him.. i don't have much to lend him cos my mother had an operation and got an hearing aid not long ago.

He said thanks.. and not long after he come back for more donation. This time round i told him sorry i don't have any to lend him. As it is month end.. Me damn broke. He change his donation to borrow another $300 from me and promiss to return to me within a week.

I mean he been giving prayer service to so many families. And each service he is charging was 3~500 per session. if one day he perform 3 session ==> average will be 1k income.

Wonder is he a con or he is really sick.

Come come share your view.

take a bible. smack it on his head

and say

"Belive in christ and you shall heal!"

he dare to come ask again i pei fu him!

got got.. he tell my parents give about each ang bao $28.

He was driving a benz when he was there to conduct funeral rites.

I won't call him again. Anyway that monk was engage by the funeral service. We also don't know which temple he from. only know he do prayer for the dead lor.

That time my aunty invited a team nun and her fellow believers over to give prayer. Is free and they one whole group of them is like 20 of them. They only want some sweet soup after prayer that all. It was like last min arrangement after we engage with that monk things.
