As Lin Pen-hsuan, an associate professor of religion at Aletheia University, says: "Most people still prefer to take the well-trodden path, and follow a famous monk, or else just donate money to charity on a regular basis and burn incense in the temple twice a day, rather than have to become a truly practicing believer."
「一般人還是寧可選大道場、追隨明星級高僧，要不就甘於做一個只定時捐善款、早晚上香拜佛，卻不必去道場打坐實修的人」，真理大學宗教學系助理教授林本炫說。
