Fortune-telling for King Dibao _ Fortune-telling for King Dibao

I was instructed that I should invite the Earth Treasure King and Bodhisattva. I don't know why.

That is superstition. I'll tell you what Buddha is, why, and what is the significance of worshipping Buddha. Read carefully and don't be superstitious.

Today, especially young people and some intellectuals who are not in contact with Buddhism often have a prejudice and misunderstanding about those who study Buddhism. As soon as they entered the temple, they had a mysterious feeling or mistook it for feudal superstition, or even thought it was backward, ignorant and stupid. This is a concrete manifestation of ignorance of Buddhism.

If you understand and study Buddhism, you will definitely eliminate doubts and misunderstandings. In view of this, I make the following ramble.

We need to know what Buddha is.

"Buddha" is an Indian Sanskrit Buddha, whose full name is "Buddha". The abbreviation is "Buddha" The Chinese translation is called The Awakened. That is, feeling without being fascinated. Buddha is neither a god nor a god. Buddha is equal to each of us. Becoming a Buddha is not a little more than us ordinary people. Although we are ordinary people, we are a little better than Buddha. As the saying goes, "You can't add anything to your mind, and you've never lost anything in your mind." . The Buddha is equal to all beings, and the Buddha does not increase, and everything does not decrease.

What's the difference between ordinary people and buddhas? The Buddha is conscious but not fascinated, and the ordinary man is fascinated but not enlightened. The so-called "obsession is sentient beings" and "consciousness is Buddha". Buddha is an enlightened person, and man is an unconscious Buddha. As the saying goes: "He who realizes others and realizes perfection is a Buddha". In Indian Sanskrit, that is, "there is no supreme samadhi, three benefits and three bodhi", the Chinese translation is "there is no supreme enlightenment". The existence of the highest consciousness. For example, Buddha is a mirror, which can reflect heaven, earth, everything and everything. Since ordinary people are equal to buddhas, why can't we ordinary people take pictures? Buddha's mirror, the mirror light is clean, the mirror light of ordinary people is polluted. What is pollution? It is the contamination of our hearts, bad thoughts, bad habits, bad styles, ten evils, five desires and distractions, greed, love, fame and fortune. The so-called ten entanglements, ten things accumulate into leaks, and six roots and six dusts create endless crimes, which makes the mind light unable to appear. What is practice? That is to say, in layman's terms, it is self-transformation. Repair, change also. It is also right to correct your behavior. Is to fight against bad habits. If you can remove the stain from your heart, you will become a Buddha. The so-called "diligence, wisdom and ignorance" is the program of learning Buddhism.

What's the difference between ordinary people and buddhas? Buddha "feels" but is not fascinated, and is pure and unspoiled. Ordinary people are "fans" who can't feel it, and their hearts are polluted. To learn Buddhism is to be fascinated, to realize, to dye and to purify. The difference between an ordinary man and a Buddha is the difference between four words: awareness, purity, fascination and dye.

From what has been said above, we understand that the Buddha is a human being and an enlightened person. Practice is not mysterious, but self-transformation and fighting against bad habits.

May each of us become a noble, perfect and conscious good person.

Do you know why you burn incense and worship Buddha? Do you know why you want to make a tribute?

1, meaning to worship Buddha statue.

Buddha was the first teacher. Just as we commemorated Confucius in China, Confucius represented the teacher. When we offer Buddha in Buddhism, we don't forget the fundamental teacher and the lessons the teacher gave us. This is the first meaning. The second layer means "Meet Si Qi". When we see the Buddha statue, we will think of many lessons that the Buddha taught us in the classics. I don't look at Buddha statues, sometimes I forget them, and when I see them, I mention them. In our daily life, do we follow the teacher's lessons when dealing with others? This is the second meaning of supporting Buddha statues.

2, the meaning of burning incense:

Three sticks of incense represent the three studies of "abstinence, determination and wisdom" Burning incense is to purify the air and worship Buddha.

3, the meaning of flowers and fruits:

Flowers represent cause, and fruit is fruit. Flowers are good, career is good, and fruit is good. If fruit is good, it will be good. Flowers and fruits represent cause and effect, so you can see that you often think that planting well leads to good results. If you can think of this, the light will shine and your heart will shine!

4, for the meaning of a glass of water:

On behalf of the heart, the water should be clean and the surface should be clean; Waves are flat, representing equality. So our hearts should be as clean and equal as water. This is very important. You don't even burn incense, light candles, offer fragrant flowers or fruits, but you can't help offering a glass of water to remind us that we should know how to cultivate purity and equality under any circumstances, such as human environment and material environment. Purity and equality are Buddha's heart and sincerity.
