Lately the flowers are blooming everywhere here and I heard the tabebuia chrysanthas are very beautiful in a temple. I planned to take some photos but then I found out they charged tickets to go inside.
It is not expensive at all, but this is not the point in my opinion. I just think that the religious places shall not charge tickets at all. They can depend on the donations or something like that. Here there are also other beautiful temples and churches which are totally free of charge to go inside. I just don't understand why that temple is so different to charge people to go inside. Especially I think Buddism is a different religion and they don't seek money as their goal.

Most religious places don't charge. But then there are few that have become very popular and more of tourist destinations. The donations and funds are not enough to maintain it and the huge crowd has to be managed. They charge some minimum amount.
Place of worship should be free and accessible to all

Now some religious places have become very commercial ! They make money under the guise of God.

I agree donations should be the way to go, especially since it’s an active place of worship and not a museum. Maybe people aren’t donating enough and they need the money for the upkeep.
