What does monk alms mean?
Buddhists' charity means that Buddhists think that people who can give alms to monks are predestined friends with Buddhists, and monks make good relations by collecting money and begging, so they call it charity. It can also refer to all activities of raising money for Buddhism, not just begging for food.
The word charity is extremely solemn, such as Buddha Sakyamuni, which appeared in the world for great cause. This karma is charity, that is, the karma of all beings; Educating all beings and crossing the sea of life and death is giving.
Culture has two meanings: enlightenment and fundraising. Fate is chance, or charity for short. The so-called enlightenment means talking about the meaning of Sanzang (the theory of Confucian classics). If all beings practice according to law, they can get rid of their sufferings and turn everything into saints. As for fundraising, it was set up to subdue the greed of monks when the Buddha was alive. All the needs of monks' life are completely supported by believers at home, which can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles and avoid life and death.
