Does a monk from a temple in Haining, Zhejiang Province open Bentley? Local Buddhist Association Response

On May 7th, the Buddhist Association of Haining City released a situation statement. The explanation is as follows:

Recently, the online release of information related to the opening of Bentley by a monk from a temple in Haining has attracted attention. After investigation, a non local believer named Chen, along with his sister, grandson, and niece, drove a Shanghai brand Bentley to pay respects to the Buddha at the Xiaoputuo Zen Temple in Yanguan. At around 3pm on May 2, 2024, the Buddhist ceremony was completed and I plan to visit the surrounding area. Due to unfamiliarity with the road, believer Chen asked the monk Shi Mouxiang (with a driver's license) from Xiaoputuo Zen Temple to drive on his behalf. When opening the car door and getting into the car, a tourist took a photo and posted it online, causing a misunderstanding.

I will further improve the management of temples and teaching staff. At the same time, it also calls on netizens not to believe rumors and not spread them.
