The developing pattern--Excessive concern on the external shape while few attentions to core thoughts of Buddhism does obscure the light of Buddhism in short period? but whether it may lead to the eventual demise of Buddhism for long-neglecting the core thoughts of Buddhism or not in a long run?With concerns and questions, author uses the famous temple-FamenTemple as the mass medium which advertising Buddhism.
