Master Kong Jing revealed.
There are two meanings in offering sacrifices to Buddha statues. The first is "repaying kindness". All sentient beings are kind to us, and the greatest kindness is that Buddha and Bodhisattva are our teachers. We accept the teachings of Buddha and Bodhisattva, which is a true consciousness and an achievement of our law, body and intelligence. Therefore, to support the Buddha and Bodhisattva is to commemorate the teacher and not forget the heart of gratitude. The second meaning is the most important, "seeing the strange". Buddha is made by an ordinary person, and the image of supporting him reminds me to learn from him and become a Buddha. We should learn from the Buddha's intention to make a wish, live and work, and treat people with things. Learn Buddha in everything. We can't treat bodhisattva as a god, that's superstition, that's wrong, and if Buddhism becomes a religion, it's not education.
If this Buddha and Bodhisattva is photographed by a mage, he will live, and if it is not photographed, it will have no effect. Because many people ask me to shine for buddhas and bodhisattvas. I told him honestly that you should not support Buddha and Bodhisattva. He asked why? I said he was smart, and if he didn't work, he wouldn't work. I am smarter than him. Just support me. What do you support him for? Have you thought about it? This is called superstition. So I can also pretend to make gestures. If I help him make this gesture, he will be refreshed. Think about it, am I not more frank than him? Even if you don't understand this, you are stupid and confused to the extreme. A cool-headed, intelligent person suddenly realizes at a glance. When I say Buddha and Bodhisattva will be enlightened, he will be enlightened. This is deceiving all beings. You are so stupid and confused. That makes sense! So opening the light is to declare the meaning of this Buddha and Bodhisattva. For example, to support avalokitesvara, avalokitesvara represents compassion and declares the original intention of avalokitesvara to save all beings. When we support Buddha and Bodhisattva, we should follow the example of Buddha and Bodhisattva and be merciful. So seeing the image of Guanyin Bodhisattva and hearing the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva triggered our great compassion. We should show great compassion to all people, things and things, and really love, care and help them. This is the name of this statue, and this image develops the light of our self-pity, which is called opening the light. So we use the name of Buddha and Bodhisattva to develop the light of our own nature; This is the meaning of enlightening our own light through the image of Buddha and Bodhisattva. Your decision can't go wrong. If you are wrong, you are superstitious. Confusion, decision-making can't solve the problem, only wisdom can solve the problem. You can't learn this from Buddhism.
