Who can't take bodhi?
In recent years, wearing bracelets has become a fashion, and many people wear bracelets.
Not only because it is beautiful and generous, but also because it is a kind of sustenance, you can pray for peace, promotion or wealth, and you can also keep fit. Since it is a Buddhist thing, there must be a lot of attention. So who is not suitable for wearing a bracelet with a thousand eyes bodhi?
1, impatient person
Some people just play with the wind, don't particularly like bodhi, and don't bother to brush it after they get started. Such people are really not suitable for playing bodhi.
Because cleaning is the most important step, if you can't even do cleaning well, then you don't have to do it in the future!
2. People who like to show off
Some people will play their bracelets to the extreme and let themselves bask in their treasures in the circle of friends. Some people don't like bracelets, so they will go to the Wan Wen market to start with Bodhi, and then show it to others at an extremely expensive price.
You can't have this kind of mentality. You just like it. There is no comparability.
Taboos for wearing Bodhi bracelets
In fact, except as an ornament, Wan Wen bracelets are actually forbidden to wear. Here are some guidelines for wearing bracelets. I suggest you read them carefully.
Taboo 1: Those who have turned on the light should bring their left hand.
The folk saying that "men are left and women are right" is unreasonable. For polished bracelets, both men and women must wear them on their left hands. This has always been an unwritten rule of Buddhism.
Taboo 2: Don't wear bracelets with both hands at the same time.
Some friends may have too many bracelets and like them very much. They don't know which hand to wear, so both hands are full. In fact, it is unlucky to wear bracelets with both hands, because they look like handcuffs, and this statement is indeed circulating among the people.
Taboo 3: When wearing a bracelet, the stupa is facing up.
Many bracelets have stupas, which are connected with mother beads, that is, Buddha heads. When wearing or not hanging, the stupa must be pointed upward to show respect for the Buddha. If you face down, you lose the function of protecting yourself from evil spirits.
Taboo 4: Don't touch the bracelet with unclean hands.
If you touch raw meat, get blood on your hands, or sweat on your hands, don't touch the beads again.
Because this will not only pollute the bracelet itself, affect the quality, but also disrespect the bracelet from a deeper level.
Taboo 5: Don't touch other people's bracelets at will.
Curiosity is human nature. Many people always like to touch other people's bracelets. In fact, this is very impolite!
Bracelets are different from ordinary jewelry, so you'd better not touch them casually. In fact, your bracelet is also very taboo to be touched and played by others. Although this is hard to avoid in daily life, you'd better tell them that you can only watch from a distance and can't play.
Taboo 6: Don't wear the bracelet of the deceased.
Some unscrupulous vendors will sell bracelets buried in ancient tombs or second-hand bracelets worn by the deceased. These bracelets must not be worn, especially by women.
A woman's physique is feminine and easily swallowed by Yin Qi. Therefore, when buying a string, you must buy it through formal channels, otherwise you don't know where it came from. Do you have a solid heart when you wear such a bracelet?
Taboo 7: Avoid flame lines.
When wearing wooden bracelets, such as bodhi, rosewood, Daphne, etc., try to avoid fire marks on the beads.
There is a cloud in the Shurangama Sutra: "Bad karma is like fire." The flame pattern on the wood symbolizes the fire of hell, which is not good for the wearer. We must pay attention to this.
Taboo 8: Pay attention to the number of beads.
After so long, I don't know how many bracelets I have worn.
In general, 108 thousand-eyed Bodhi bracelets are the most common, which means to eliminate 108 kinds of troubles, and are the choice of many Buddhist practitioners.
In addition, other suitable bracelets are: 54, 42, 36, 20, 18, 14, 12, 10, 6, 3, 1.
