Suitable days for worshipping Buddha 2 Eight taboos for burning incense and worshipping Buddha

First, the names of monks should not be confused.

When you meet a monk when you burn incense and worship Buddha, don't learn to call him "old monk" or "mage" as in TV series, although this is respect to some extent. Monks actually have a lot of backup. There is only one real monk in the temple. All other monks can only be called "Qing people".

There used to be many real gifts, such as virtual cloud mage, Master Taixu and so on. They can all pass on the scriptures, and those who can become magicians have at least succeeded in spreading the teachings to the world. I have mastered the Buddha's jurisprudence. Monk and twelve, nothing is impossible. Monks, young and old, can be called "master" or "old master" to show respect.

Second, eating vegetarian food cannot be wasted.

Many Buddhist temples will prepare vegetarian canteens for tourists in case of emergency. You should be careful not to waste food when you eat in the Zhaitang. There is a saying in Buddhism: "A grain of rice is as big as Mount Sumi. I can't live in this life and still wear horns. " They think that every grain of rice is hard to come by.

When fasting, it is best to recite "Amitabha" to thank the temple for its support. In fact, a lot of food in the temple is also provided by the four parties in good faith. If it is wasted, it is a sin. At the same time, keep quiet and don't make any noise during fasting. Eat as much as you can and don't waste any rice dishes.

Third, don't ask the monk's age.

In the temple, no matter whether you meet young or old monks, if you ask their ages at will, even if you have some respect, they usually just smile and don't answer. Buddhism emphasizes death, proof and enlightenment, and does not care about the concept of age.

At the same time, Buddhism pays attention to monk wax, which is the time to become a monk. They only care about when they become monks, so they don't care about their real age. Remember, it is rude to ask his real age rashly.

Fourth, the posture of worshipping Buddha should be correct.

In the temple, many people saw other tourists put their hands together, learning to form a line with their hands pressed tightly like in TV dramas. Actually, this is not right. Real gesture of worshipping Buddha, two palms should be empty. Because Buddhism pays attention to emptiness, when your hands are empty, you can hold things. A solid palm, no matter what others say, you won't listen. So empty-handed heart has such a meaning.

Five, the threshold of the temple can not be stepped on.

When you enter a temple, you will find that the threshold of the temple is generally high. Threshold was a symbol of etiquette in ancient times. The higher the threshold, the greater the power. If you step on the threshold of a temple, it shows that you have no respect for the temple. Not only can't you step on it, but you can't even sit.

In order to show respect, when crossing the threshold, men usually take their left feet first and women take their right feet first. Buddhism has experienced the baptism of China's culture for thousands of years, and also absorbed the essence of Taoism. So it is better to follow these etiquette, more like the law.

Sixth, burn incense three times.

When burning incense to worship Buddha, many people think that the more incense burned, the better. In fact, burning incense and worshipping Buddha in Buddhism is just a form of expression. Sanxiang generally shows respect for Buddhism, Dharma and monks. Sometimes burning too much incense will pollute the environment, cause waste, and clean up the garbage. The so-called "too much is not enough" is the truth.

When you burn three sticks of incense, you can meditate in your heart: "convert to Buddhism, but you are not fascinated;" Convert to the law, right but not evil; Convert to a monk, clean but not stained. "As long as you sincerely meditate in your mind, you don't need to read it out loud.

Seven, dress appropriately.

Buddhist temple is a clean and solemn place. When we go to burn incense and worship Buddha, we should pay attention to our clothes and appearance. Male tourists should dress appropriately. On a hot day, they should not wear vests with bare arms, and female tourists should not wear exposed clothes or even heavy makeup. This not only affects others, but also has an unintentional blasphemy against Buddha and Bodhisattva. You'd better wear some simple clothes. Although you can wear fashion, you can't be too coquettish. This is the civilized ritual Buddha.

Eight, don't be too casual in supporting the flowers and fruits of Buddha and Bodhisattva.

Out of respect for buddhas and bodhisattvas, many people brought flowers and fruits as offerings when they saw others. Some people like to eat certain fruits themselves, so when buying food, they will follow their own preferences. In particular, pomegranates, durians and other fruits with bad smells and meanings should never be brought into temples to support Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Because pomegranate seeds are mostly excreted with feces after people or animals eat pomegranate, the significance is very bad.

At the same time, don't use some flowers that are too fragrant and withered to support Buddha and Bodhisattva. In Buddhism, using flowers as support means "seeing Buddha when flowers bloom". How can you see the Buddha when the flowers you support have withered? It has this meaning in it.

Suitable days for worshipping Buddha 3. Pay attention to burning incense and worshipping Buddha

1, Precautions and Taboos before Worship

Whether at home or in a temple outside, when you need incense, you can't say buy it, but ask for it. And when we worship outside, incense must be invited by ourselves. We can't use a handful of incense with others for convenience or saving money, that is, pray for others, not ourselves.

Then, before we worship God, we must wash our hands before burning incense. Generally, the more fragrant, the better, indicating that the fragrance is strong. Then when you worship incense, you should use your left hand, hold the incense in your left hand, hold your left hand lightly with your right hand, and then hold it above your head to show sincerity and respect, while when you worship candles, you should use your right hand instead. Burn incense and light candles, then kowtow and bow down.

Let me explain here that generally speaking, we all have the number of incense: 3, 6, 9,13; Why is this? Because of the different meanings, Sanxiang means to pray only for oneself, Liuxiang means to pray for two generations, Jiuxiang means to pray for three generations, and Thirteen incense means that what has been prayed for has been realized.

2. Pay attention to avoid kowtowing and bowing.

Before kowtowing, you should know whether the object of kowtowing is Buddha, Bodhisattva or Lohan. If we are facing a hidden treasure, then don't keep kowtowing to its object. The number of incense is preferably three, which represents abstinence, determination and wisdom. That is, the three treasures of Buddha, Dharma and Monk that we generally support live in it. In fact, we don't have to care too much about the fragrance. After all, what matters is sincerity. As the saying goes, "burn three civilized incense and respect a sincere heart."

The correct action of burning incense should be: holding the incense stick in the middle finger of the left hand, holding the incense tail in the thumb, holding the left hand lightly in the middle finger of the right hand, putting it on the chest, sincerely facing the Buddha and Bodhisattva, and then gathering incense until the eyebrows are removed; This action should be repeated three times. Finally, be sure to remember to burn incense on your left hand. The correct action when bowing should also be: kneel on the ground with your hands folded. When your hands are folded, your palms should be hollow and raised above your head, then stop at your mouth to pray and make a wish, then come to your chest to meditate, and finally spread your palms up and touch the ground on your forehead.

3. Three correct methods of burning incense

There are three ways to burn incense, so if you see that others burn incense differently from yourself, don't feel that you are wrong or that others are wrong. Let's see which three ways. Let's start from simple to complex.

The first kind:

When you put the first incense in the middle of the incense burner, you read-offer to Buddha, but you are not lost.

Insert a second incense stick on the right side of the incense burner, and read-support method, which is right but not evil.

Insert the third incense stick on the left side of the incense burner, and read-support the monk, clean and non-touching.

The second type:

The first one on the right, read-swear all evil.

Then on the left, read-swear to do all the good things.

The last middle thought-swear to all sentient beings.

The third kind:

The first incense in the world is inserted in the middle of the incense burner, and you meditate when you insert it-to support the three generations of three treasures.

Insert the second incense stick on the right side of the incense burner and meditate while inserting it-to support parents and teachers.

The third incense stick was inserted on the left side of the incense burner, and when I inserted it, I meditated-to support all sentient beings in the ten dharma circles and my unjust debt-stricken class.

After burning incense, you should face the Buddha and Bodhisattva, stand up straight with your hands folded, and meditate in your heart-may this fragrant cloud go straight to the Three Treasures/"Go straight to the Buddhas, seek great mercy and give alms to all sentient beings."

Some people may be used to perfuming rings, but at the same time they are worried that their sincerity is not in place. What is the correct way to perfume a ring? Now I'm going to teach you a method, which is actually very simple, just like keeping up with the long incense, except that the burning place needs to face the Buddha and Bodhisattva, and then the incense raises its eyebrows while meditating-I hope this incense will go straight to the three treasures, beg for mercy and give happiness to all beings. "Even if finished.
