Have you given money to a Buddhist monk or would you consider it?

Asked by Aster (20023points) July 18th, 2014

I’ve been goofing off and reading about Buddhism. I’ve learned quite a bit. I have zero interest in becoming a monk but I wondered if anyone gives money to them for medical treatment for example. Do you hold them in high esteem and feel that providing them with meals , which is the only way they can eat except for foraging for berries, is a good and moral thing to do because of their alleged holiness, simple living and celibacy?
