If you take the offering away without permission, or use it for yourself, or throw it away without redeeming the incense, it is an act of stealing Buddha's objects. Buddha is the supreme blessing of the three realms. Giving Buddha a fragrance and a flower will bring infinite blessings. On the other hand, stealing Buddha will bring infinite crimes and the consequences will be unimaginable. The Buddha respectfully supports the Buddha statue, and the Buddha will confess, which is why we are blessed. However, due to karma and other karma, the incarnation of Buddha can't be seen in most cases.
However, looking at the vast number of good men and women today, it seems that there are not many people who can practice this way of worshipping Buddha as the law. Many people simply take off their offerings and leave after offering the Buddha, but they don't know that they have unknowingly committed the crime of stealing from the Buddha. Offering Buddha has its merits, but after each success, it will create another important cause!
According to the Mahayana Statue Merit Scripture, those who take Buddhist objects at will should repent to the Buddha, and then calculate the lost objects and pay them back several times. If fellow initiates make the above mistakes, don't worry too much. They can sincerely repent to the Buddha and swear that they would rather die than commit the evil act of stealing the three treasures in the future. Only by measuring the value of stolen offerings in the past and repaying them to the Buddha with several times the value can the crime be eliminated.
There are many violators in this trip. If you see this senior posting on this post, please let it be widely known to save the scholar and make great achievements for yourself!
Although the law is empty, the karma is not empty, be careful, be careful!
Redemption of fruits:
May this pure fragrance redeem the Buddha's offering.
Pray for Buddha's blessing and increase all blessings.
The doctrine spread to ten parties and became enlightenment.
Nanwu teacher Sakyamuni Buddha (three)!
There are no Sakyamuni Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, Guru Liuli Buddha, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Tibetan Bodhisattva, Nanbu Bodhisattva, and Nanbu Jinghai Bodhisattva.
Dedication is the extension of giving up, paying and dedicating, and it is the meaning of giving. Giving is repeatedly mentioned in the Diamond Sutra, and giving is also the first priority of Bodhisattva's six-degree trip. Jia Yan expanded the law of giving alms to poor old women; When Ashoka was a child in his last life, he gave a handful of sand to the Buddha and later became the wheel saint king; You have to reach the point where the elders give alms to the refined house, and you are still enjoying happiness in the paradise palace. Therefore, giving is of great merit. If we can return to the western paradise, it will become our food in previous lives.
Goodall said, "There is nothing on the surface? Is it really a support? Is there nothing in your mouth? Miaoxiang, don't move? Priceless treasure, immortal is true. I hope we can always give smiles, love and joy, and give people confidence, hope and convenience, so wherever we go, we will be barrier-free.
To learn Buddhism, we must have a deep understanding of offering Buddha, so that we can legally offer Buddha and serve Bodhisattva, and let the donors get greater merits and benefits. If you can't support the buddhas and bodhisattvas in a reasonable way, there will be no merit and benefit, but a great sin. Be respectful in front of all kinds of Buddha statues, because all buddhas and bodhisattvas are empty and everywhere. Where there is a Buddha statue, there is dragon day's protector (dragon day's protector is the Jade Emperor and the heavenly generals guarding him). Just like when the ancient emperor came to your house, he would inform the inspection department, the magistrate, the county magistrate and the seven-product sesame official. You must make financial and material preparations at least one year in advance. You have seen the scene of the emperor going out to inspect in TV series, and how many dharma guards will be around you. If the emperor came in person, how would you entertain him? From here to there, you will think of how to support the buddhas and bodhisattvas. It is necessary to support the buddhas and bodhisattvas by trillions of times. Because life is the most precious thing in life, and our loving heavenly father Amitabha has blessed and led us out of the six divisions in the wheel of karma forever, leaving suffering in the western life, making our life infinite, bright, happy and eternal. Everyone said, without hundreds of billions of times more respect and sincerity than the emperor, can we support the buddhas and bodhisattvas, .......................?
First, in front of the Buddha, we should keep it clean, tidy, solemn and quiet. When offering products, you should treat them with respect.
2. Common offerings: incense, lamps, candles, clear water, flowers, fruits, vegetables, etc.
Lamp: indicates light and wisdom.
Flower: it means that the lover is solemn and the table is repaired.
Water: indicates a pure heart. Water purification: water is pure in the moon, and the heart is pure in the Buddha.
Fruit: indicates the fruit of Bodhi.
The above incense, lamps, flowers, water and fruits are collectively called five sacrifices. Plus tea, food, treasure, pearls and clothes, it is called ten nourishment. And worship Buddha with physical and mental respect.
Avoid alcohol, meat and meat, and pay special attention to it. Among them, food should be provided at 10: 00 in the morning and withdrawn after 12 at noon. When you buy fresh fruit at noon, you should give it to the Buddha before eating it.
4. Precautions for offering and withdrawing: Before offering and withdrawing, light a lamp and burn incense, cross your hands and ask questions, read the name of Amitabha several times, bow three times, and then withdraw the offer. Be careful not to take or eat the offerings at will before withdrawing the offerings (it is obviously very impolite for you to take and eat the food placed for the guests at will when the most distinguished guests come and the guests have not left). The holy water for the Buddha can't be picked up and drunk casually. It should be poured into a daily drinking cup, which should be the same as abstinence. Holy water should not be poured casually, but should be drunk and watered. When you provide food for Buddha and Bodhisattva, it means that you have given the food to Buddha and Bodhisattva. How can you touch these things easily again? What's the difference between tampering and stealing? You can't eat or take offerings from the temple without master's permission. If you want to become a Buddha, if you don't respect all buddhas and bodhisattvas, can you feel the handover and lead you to the west? You want Buddha and Bodhisattva to bless this and that. Can you bless them if you don't respect them? Can you feel the crossroads? Can I take you to the west? If you don't respect a person and want him to do great things for you, do you think he can do it for you? Amitabha! Excerpted from the second episode of Pure Land Practice.
