Recently, a cup of merit coffee wrapped in bright yellow paper has attracted the attention of netizens.

It is reported that the specially packaged drink was launched by a coffee shop around the temple. The bright yellow paper used to pack drinks is not casually printed on the Internet, but is written by monks in the temple and sent to the store every day, so this cup of meritorious coffee is sold in a limited amount of time every day.

According to customers who sign in at the store, whether they buy ordinary American drinks or store specialty drinks, they can get a drink wrapped in rune paper. Moreover, this cup of merit coffee is not in vain. Netizens revealed that the shopkeeper will take part of the profits from each cup of drink sold and donate it to nearby temples, not only for himself, but also for the customers who buy drinks.

After learning about the uniqueness of "merit coffee", many people were amazed at its creativity. "this is interesting", "it feels good" and "emotional value is full". They all said they wanted to clock in and buy a cup.

However, people who are in awe of the Buddha think that there is something wrong with the store's approach, such as "strange packaging", "it should not be appropriate to consume Buddha", "this is too disrespectful", and "it is not very auspicious to drink this." In addition, some users said that this kind of paper with special meaning can not be discarded at will, "throwing away will create an industry", "throwing away always feels disrespectful to anything."

In this regard, a netizen who knows something about metaphysics said that the function of these runes should be to exorcise evil spirits, so it is not a problem to wrap drinks with this kind of rune paper. if consumers ask for peace of mind, it is best to remove the package and burn it with fire after drinking. Some customers said that the store would recycle and dispose of this special package.

In recent years, many young people have "chosen to put on incense between going to work and making progress." from time to time, they go to some temples that are said to be very effective to worship the Buddha and to get what they want and get what they want. Businesses are also aware of this consumer demand, with "fate", "merit", "drawing lots" as the selling point to attract the attention of consumers.

However, when trendy drinks are combined with religious metaphysics, there will always be heated discussion among the public. For example, when Xi Cha launched the "speechless Bodhisattva" cup, people who had no scruples would speak and tease that Buddha would also come out to work, holding the cup one after another, drinking milk tea while tapping wooden fish to accumulate merit. People who are in awe think that playing with stalks needs to be moderate, especially when it comes to religion.

In addition, it has also been pointed out that businesses do have a lot of ideas in packaging drinks with charade paper, which is enough to attract attention and make fresh consumers come for "meritorious coffee". But if the drink only has a unique appearance, but is not recognized by most people on the inside, then consumers will also go because of the unexpected "merit coffee" and will not become long-term supporters of the store.
