Monks and Taoists introduced: Both Buddhism and Taoism regard the sutra and precepts as the sect of Buddhism and Taoism. Studying scriptures and teaching and receiving precepts are compulsory courses for monks and Taoists. This department monitors the behavior of monks and Taoists, requiring them to read the scriptures thoroughly, strictly observe the precepts, and practice the law with a correct heart. Obeying the precepts will lead to blessings, and violating them will lead to punishment.
