How to provide a cup of boiled water for Bodhisattva? What's the argument?

The water dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva is the water of great compassion, blessed by the Bodhisattva. We ordinary people can't bless the great compassion by chanting the scriptures ourselves.

Can supply hot water, cold water, mineral water, pure water and other colorless and odorless drinking water. Do not use raw water or tap water directly.

For the cup of great compassion, ask for a brand-new cup; Glass and ceramics can be used; With or without a cover, it is better to have a cover to avoid dust pollution; It's best to have nothing on the cup. If there are scriptures such as the Great Compassion Mantra, there should be no scriptures such as the Heart Sutra, there should be no statues of bodhisattvas or holy names of buddhas and bodhisattvas, and there should be no animal shapes.

Generally, several bodhisattvas have several glasses of water, or a bodhisattva can have many glasses of water, but the number of cups cannot be less than that of bodhisattvas. The cup should not be too big and should not be used to hold bottled mineral water. It is disrespectful to use bottled mineral water instead of cups. Generally speaking, you shouldn't provide bottled mineral water with cups.

The great compassion water on the Buddha's platform can't be directly picked up and drunk. It should be poured out of the Buddha's cup before drinking. You can't touch the Buddha cup directly with your mouth. Generally, you should first respectfully hold the cup with your hands facing the Bodhisattva, hold your eyebrows high, and gently read: "Please be merciful and merciful, and Guanyin Bodhisattva will bless me XXX and my health." At the same time, observe that the bottle of pure water of Bodhisattva is slowly pouring down your head and flowing all over your body. Then pour the water into another container and respectfully drink the water of great compassion. If you can recite the 1 mantra of great compassion before drinking, it would be better to put your hand on the top of the cup.

If the great compassion water after the Bodhisattva is served feels too cold, don't directly heat it or microwave it. You can drink it after heating it (only heat it slightly, don't boil it).

The water used by other buddhas and bodhisattvas can generally be poured out. If you want to drink, you need to recite the great compassion mantra before drinking. The water offered by many bodhisattvas should not be mixed, but poured into different cups.

Bodhisattva-specific water should not be used to water flowers.

A fellow initiate asked Master, What are the benefits of our daily water supply? The director told everyone that water supply has eight meanings, which is very auspicious. Therefore, water must be supplied to the Bodhisattva. Many people there offer sacrifices to bodhisattvas and incense, but not water.

Eight meanings, first, the water supply is cold, and the water is cold. It shows that you have discipline, morality and purity. Cool equals abstinence and purity.

Second, water supply is sweet. Sweet is sweet, sweet. After you offer a bowl of water to the Bodhisattva, you can enjoy all kinds of delicious food. Before you go to eat, take a sip of white water before you eat. It will taste good. Right? Your mouth is very spicy. Do you need a sip of white water? Your food is too salty. Would you like some white water? Your food is too sweet. Do you want some white water? So water is sweet.

The third is sexual lightness. The nature of water is light, which means physical and mental health.

The fourth is soft quality. Soft water and soft texture indicate that your mind is soft. Therefore, when drinking water, you should always think about these things, and your heart will soften.

Clear water means that your mind is clear and very clean.

Water is odorless and tasteless. Explain that there are no obstacles in your heart, and the obstacles will be eliminated.

Water is good for the throat. Many people say take a sip of water too much. Is it called "Li throat"? It's a profit throat, but it's actually a punch line for your success. They make wisecracks. People who used to tell stories can tell them for a long time with a sip of water.

The eighth is to nourish the stomach. People with a bad stomach can't drink anything, but water can.

When supplying water to Bodhisattva, or when the water supply is finished, we should always think of: cool, sweet, light, soft, clear, tasteless, benefiting the throat and nourishing the stomach. With so much water given to you by Bodhisattva, you will be healthy, clean your heart, be healthy and disease-free, and thoroughly clean your heart and body. A clean body means drinking water, so water supply will not cause all kinds of strange diseases. Those who support bodhisattvas should always provide water, do it themselves, and don't ask others to pour it. There will be no regrets when the water is supplied. People who often supply water will not be ridiculed or made some regrets by others in some bad ways outside. Many people say, "I have poor financial conditions and can't afford to raise fruit ..." In fact, if you really support yourself, you only need to support yourself cleanly and flexibly, remove obstacles, be witty and healthy, and your heart will be clean. But one thing: you can't supply empty cups. Many people put a glass of water for a long time and the water is dry. If you supply it there, empty the glass and everything is empty, then what you ask is useless! Give your heart to the bodhisattva.
