Man or monk
Man: Rituals are an extremely harmful practice.
Monk: Yes.
Man: Then why don't you discourage ritual practice among your followers?
Monk: I give them what they want.
Man: If a drug addict begged you for drugs, would you oblige him, even though he is dying from those drugs?
Monk: Rituals are not that bad. They do more good than harm.
Man: Rituals are yet more things to become attached to, yet more excuses to refrain from thought. You are the provider of these evil things and are responsible for the harm they do. You wear robes, appear a monk, and people become attached to the idea "monk&qyot;. If you really wanted to help people you would wear any convenient clothing, then people would find it much more difficult to become attached to "monk" and would thus have one less hindrance to their spiritual progress.
