Sodaji Khenpo: Does Buddhism agree with Chen Guangbiao’s high-profile behavior when doing charity?

Sodaji Khenpo: Does Buddhism agree with Chen Guangbiao’s high-profile behavior when doing charity?

(4) Question: There is a philanthropist named Chen Guangbiao who donated hundreds of millions of yuan.But he is very high-profile in charity. For example, he will smash his own Bronze and ask employees to ride bicycles with him to and from get off work, thereby promoting low-carbon and environmental protection;Or he himself had a personal concert, but he was incomplete in tone, giving pigs, tractors, and red envelopes to farmers attending the concert... Nowadays, many public opinion criticized him for making a show. I wonder if he agrees with such high-profile charitable behavior in Buddhism?

Answer: I have also read some reports about him, but I have not learned in detail about the specific situation, so I dare not comment on it.

In general, if the good deeds you do really benefit others, it is understandable even if you are high-profile.The charity dinners held by Bill Gates and Buffett are also relatively high-profile. They often promote charity concepts in many public occasions. Not only is this not worth criticizing, but it should be rejoiced.

Of course, if a person's good deeds are different from each other and have many loopholes, they will gradually be discovered by people.There are still many imperfections in China's charity today.Not long ago, Jet Li, who founded the One Foundation, said: "If China's charity wants to meet the American standards, it will take at least thirty years."Indeed, charity lacks corresponding legislation nowadays, so the charitable behavior of some philanthropists does need to be standardized.

However, according to Buddhist views, as long as a person's good deeds are beneficial to all living beings, even if they are a little more high-profile, there is no big problem.After all, others generally dare not show up, but he resists the attacks of everyone and ignores himself for the sake of altruism. This spirit is quite valuable.Of course, some people are also making money for themselves under the banner of charity, and their various behaviors are particularly bad.Therefore, it is difficult to make a conclusion about these aspects. Everyone needs to open their wise eyes and make careful choices.
