What is the best oil for the oil lamp in front of Buddha? (It is best not to light the Buddha with environmentally friendly oil. )
Master Menzhi @ Junior Class Jiuhuashan Daci Temple, please indicate the source of the second textbook. What is the best oil for the oil lamp in front of Buddha? The oil lamp before Buddha can include incense oil lamp, butter oil lamp, soybean oil oil lamp, rapeseed oil lamp and other plant oil lamps. Never use animal oil to light Buddha lanterns. The oil of Buddha lanterns is best fried with sesame oil, which is also commonly known as sesame oil. It is the best oil for Buddha lanterns. Using sesame oil fried with sesame seeds to provide Buddha lanterns not only has the wisdom to support the Buddha and the merits of life, but also has the function of perfuming the Buddha. Because the fragrance of sesame oil itself is the most precious and pious fragrance, it also has full merits. Followed by ghee (extracted from pure milk), followed by vegetable oils such as soybean oil and rapeseed oil. However, sesame oil and pure ghee fried with pure sesame seeds are too expensive and rarely used for a long time. Generally, soybean oil or rapeseed oil is used to light Buddha lanterns. There are minerals, plants and synthetic oils sold in the society for lighting Buddha lanterns. They have their own advantages and disadvantages, some are smoky and smelly, and the price of being really smokeless and tasteless is very high. Therefore, it is not only cheap but also suitable to use soybean oil and rapeseed oil to light Buddha lanterns. Soybean salad oil and rapeseed salad oil sold in the modern market are moderate in price, excellent in quality, smokeless and tasteless, clear and transparent, and are usually the best oil for Buddhist lanterns in temples and ordinary people. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The water is polluted. Do you blame water? Is it caused by our karma? Even our water and air are full of the shadow of the last French era. Tell me, is it in the newspaper? Even the air and water are polluted. Is there a TV? Is there any music we can listen to? The words you read and the music you listen to are polluted everywhere. Burning incense, candles and lamp oil are even more fake candles, which have the taste of mineral wax or chemical essence. A drop of wax oil is not solemn, second, the smell of incomplete combustion is not solemn, third, the burning time is short, fourth, it is easy to extinguish, and fifth, it is not good for samadhi and its effect is slow. Some so-called environmental protection lamp oils are actually blended with mineral oil, kerosene and diesel oil and essence pigments. In the last days of France, even the incense was fake, and so were the candles. It used to be different. Candles are edible before they are released. Now they are still going to India. India has this small candle, but this candle is extracted from honey. Yes, so beeswax is as edible as propolis. Many pills are combined with propolis. Ancient waxes were all good, and now they are all extracted from oil. Don't say mineral wax is inedible. The black smoke was smoked by someone else. After coughing for three days, the lungs were still dirty. At present, there is "environmental protection" oil on the market specially for Buddhists to burn lamps, but its raw material is kerosene. As far as we know, kerosene comes from the complex chemical changes of animal carcasses many, many years ago. So, can we use this oil to feed Buddhists? The key point is to order edible vegetable oil butter lamps that are truly green, natural and non-chemically synthesized. Why use butter butter lamp for Buddha? Because the supply of ghee is to supply both food and light. As long as the disciples who study Buddhism seriously believe in cause and effect, they will not add wax to the food that supports the Buddha! ! ! We believe in cause and effect, so we must be responsible for all our brothers and sisters and ourselves! Tibetan offerings to the Buddha are made of the best food, milk and goat milk-ghee, which is a respect for the Buddha! Animal test method: one of the simplest methods, put butter lamp particles in the place where rats appear and observe. If you find "butter lamps" (inferior butter, ginseng wax and other chemicals) that even mice don't want to eat, can they still be Buddha's food? It can only be regarded as a way to worship the light (candles to worship the light are the cheapest, more than 50% cheaper than "butter lamps" with wax! ! Why spend money on butter lamps? )。 Soybean salad oil and rapeseed salad oil sold in the modern market are moderate in price, excellent in quality, smokeless and tasteless, clear and transparent, and are usually the best oils for temples and ordinary people to make Buddha lanterns. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ If it is rarely repaired, it is a sacrifice to the Buddha. Then legal interests are often absent, and induction is absent, mostly because of their own karma. When you put your energy, wealth and life into offering, you add your life, time and energy into Buddhism and Buddhism, and you transform your karma and make your karma an extra offering. Burning forty-nine lights is particularly important. For this kind of patients, this is extremely important, extremely important. Now people often don't know enough about this place. In some Tibetan secret ceremonies, we attach great importance to burning lamps and incense to show our praise and support. In our mainland, we usually put an apple there, but the apple is rotten, and it means more if we don't want to take it down. All aspects of support should be respectful, clean, solemn and respectful. As long as it is to save your family, you can spend tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. Ignite the oil lamp, as we do, as a general cause, it is to ignite 49 lamps. A lamp like ours, with 49 lamps and 49 lamps, may use 300 kilograms of oil, which is about the same amount. If you can live in held, it will save fuel. Then the man put it down regardless of him, and lit the lamp, and the lamp oil burned very fast; If it's a compliment, what about this lamp? The oil won't go down. It's always on, but the oil just won't go down. There is nothing magical or exaggerated about this. It is this matter that he really has such a blessing. He mainly told us to abandon our own career and point directly at our own career. There is a change. Our money, we went to start a business without offering it to the Buddha, and there is nothing to say. The main thing you should do your best to support is to turn your karma into supporting Buddha, supporting perfection, supporting light, supporting truth and supporting this kind of return. He produced an incredible blessing, or a transformation of karma. This purpose is particularly clear. It is not enough to regard the lamp as legal support. Really made the dharma protector angry! On the contrary, this Buddhism has some karma that should not be played. Protecting the law is ruthless, he is protecting the law, and breaking the law will also bring you trouble. There is nothing to say. Therefore, Buddhism is indeed merciful, and the protector is ruthless. Why heartless? In order to let more people hear Buddhism and live in the world, Buddhism will not be destroyed. So it is normal for him to teach you, regardless of your personal harm to Buddhism. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Soybean oil: the oil color is dark yellow, the bean smell is strong, the taste is astringent, and the oil foam is white. Cottonseed oil: dark yellow in color, tasteless in taste and yellow in oil foam. Sesame oil: brownish red, with strong smell and taste, suitable for seasoning. Sunflower seed oil: the color is clear and transparent, fragrant and delicious, and the cooking is not greasy. Hydrogenated shortening is transformed from the English word "short", which means that when cookies are processed with this oil, the products can be very crisp, so the oil with this property is called "shortening". It refers to refined animal and vegetable oil, hydrogenated oil or the mixture of the above oils and fats, which are refined and kneaded to make solid oil or dynamic oil without refining and kneading. Shortened oil has processing characteristics such as plasticity and emulsification, and is generally not suitable for direct consumption. It is used to process cakes, bread or fried foods. Shortened oils have different properties and production processes. Palm oil: It is widely used in cooking and food production in the world. It is used as cooking oil, crispy fat and margarine. Like other edible oils, palm oil is easy to digest and absorb, which promotes human health. Palm oil is an important component of fat, which is mild in nature and a good material for making food. Judging from the composition of brown and blue oil, its high solid glycerol content keeps food stable without hydrogenation and effectively resists oxidation, so it is a good seasoning for cakes and baked products in hot climate. Palm oil is deeply loved by food manufacturing industry because of its several characteristics. Rapeseed oil: commonly known as vegetable oil, also known as coriander oil. It is a transparent or translucent liquid obtained by squeezing the seeds of Brassica (that is, rape). Rapeseed oil is golden or brown in color and has a certain pungent smell, which is called "green taste" by the people. This gas is caused by containing a certain amount of glucosinolates, which is not contained in excellent varieties of rapeseed. Corn oil: Corn oil is rich in vitamin E and has good thermal stability. Olive oil: rich in unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E, it can be absorbed by the skin, moisturize and nourish the skin, make the skin shiny, delicate and elastic, promote blood circulation and skin metabolism, help to lose weight, reduce wrinkles and delay aging. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ghee should be called ghee strictly. Shortening oil is divided into animal shortening, plant shortening and mixed shortening. Vegetarian ghee is vegetable ghee, which is made of vegetable oil. Whether to buy vegetable butter or yak milk butter for Buddha depends entirely on whether you like it or not. The price of yak butter is two to three times that of vegetable butter. ) Buddha butter lamp status: 1 Now there is a formal factory name. How many products have passed the certification of edible oil? Fake edible ghee products abound in the market. From various inspection reports, we can know that most of the so-called "edible ghee" is illegal, and it is processed from animal fat that has been used many times and useless fat that has been fried at low prices many times. In order to seek personal gain, these lawless people do not hesitate to cover up the odor with industrial essence, and cover up the impurities and precipitation of oil with industrial pigment to deceive everyone. Do you know that?/You know what? These raw materials not only contain a lot of animal fat, but also contain heavy metals such as arsenic and lead that are harmful to human body and carcinogens such as aflatoxin and benzopyrene. In order to ensure that people's health is not endangered, the government also strongly advocates prohibiting the use of waste oil in the catering industry. How can we get the waste oil fat that we can't eat to the Buddha through reprocessing? Believers should keep their eyes open and think about why they should offer lanterns in front of the Buddha. How devout are you to Buddha? If you think about it more, you won't be fooled by fake and shoddy products, nor will you buy fake goods for temporary cheap, and support counterfeiting! The above only says oil. Some manufacturers use the by-product of petroleum refining, or industrial grease, called ghee through processing. Deceive believers. It is really sinful to use these so-called "ghee" to make Buddha lanterns. You know what! These harmful oils and chemicals will produce toxic gases harmful to human body, such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide, which will cause chronic poisoning, not only harmful to health, but also serious air pollution to our living environment and temples. Excuse me: we are devout believers, are we still willing to choose these fakes? Will you still support counterfeiting? For the health of you and others, and to protect the environment from damage and pollution, we should unite and work together to resist the invasion of fake and shoddy yellow oil lamps into our clean practice places and thousands of households.
