Religion can end up with transactions.
Transactions in business too can take on religious practices.
Though religion is to help others, it needs to be financed and cannot depend on donations alone. There must be sale of oil, incense sticks and even books and compact discs.
Does this mean we have to pay for devotion and for listening or reading sermons?
Legitimate business can organise a religious activities and even sale of religious items not only to own employees but to clients. Thus charcoal is sold as black gold and feng shui items too must be paid for or even auctioned.
Bo Tien 武天 descended in 1969 to correct the anomaly. Religious blessings are free and cannot be purchased or sold.
Towards this ideal, it is better to bless those who come to religion for blessing with holy water which is not equated with a fee.
Donations to charity must be of free will and temple or business can be the agent for this but must not take cuts or commissions for this.
