Master Zhong Zheng: How can I offer a blessing to the Buddha?

Master Zhong Zheng, with his profound vision and excellent knowledge, tells people how to offer Buddha blessings. China's traditional culture is profound and impressive ... In the folk sense, there are only two words: respect. Respecting Buddha, Bodhisattva and the gods in the Buddhist world; Buddhism and Taoism, respect for Taoist immortals and respect for these two words are hard to write and do. Some people are disrespectful to God because they don't know the rules and worship the wrong God. There are many cases on my blog that will be explained one by one. Others don't put the Buddha sacrifice in an important position in their hearts. More seriously, some people regard offering Buddha as the object of bargaining. Let's talk about the first point: problems caused by unintentional mistakes. In the case of feng shui adjustment, we can see that some families sincerely offer Buddha, but mistakenly offer Guanyin Bodhisattva and the God of Wealth together. Guanyin Bodhisattva, known as the first Buddha in the East, has cultivated to the status of Buddha, and the dharma is as clear as the name of Buddha. Buddhism has a very high position in the Buddhist world, showing the world by Buddhism and educating the world. The god of wealth is just an ordinary god in Taoism or folk belief, which is far from Guanyin Bodhisattva. This kind of worship will have two results. The immortals in the Buddhist world think it is disrespectful to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and of course they don't want to help you. The god of wealth is too low to sit side by side with Guanyin Bodhisattva, which leads to the situation that big leaders don't come to small leaders. Some people worship Guanyin Bodhisattva and God of Wealth in dark, messy and dusty side rooms, which is disrespectful. More importantly, the position is not placed correctly. The position in the spiritual world is the same as that in Confucian culture, that is, the position facing south is the largest and the position facing west and east is the most respected. Let's have a look at the Golden Jubilee Hall in the palace. You must sit facing south, facing south and facing north. This is the Ninth Five-Year Plan. The position of the national leader in the Great Hall of the People faces east from west. This determines the worship status of Buddhism and Taoism. First, we should sit facing south, then facing east and west, and then facing north and south. It is forbidden to sit in the east and sit in the west. You can go to Elysium, but you can't pursue human blessings. What is more serious than this is that some Feng Shui sects believe that the diagonal of the entrance is the so-called financial position. As a result, according to this theory, to worship the gods in the corner is the greatest disrespect for the gods, and the more they supply, the more unlucky they are. Secondly, there are many improper places in the sacrificial mode. In the feng shui case of the hair salon, there is a big bowl of town house copper coins on the speaker on the right side of the Buddhist temple. In front of the copper coin is a three-legged censer tripod, and the copper coin is surrounded by Amitabha and Manjusri Bodhisattva. Here, the Buddha and Bodhisattva became the guardians of the town house copper coins, regardless of their status, and the incense burner tripod was higher than the incense burner of the Buddhist temple. The head of a Buddhist student has never stood up and lost face, which leads to bad luck. In the owner's home of Panda Building Materials City around the island, there are two shrines, one is Guanyin Bodhisattva and the other is Manjusri Bodhisattva, and the Buddha of Sakyamuni is enshrined in the middle of the two shrines. The boss unilaterally thought that the middle position was the largest, but he didn't consider that both bodhisattvas had houses to live in, but put the Buddha in the middle of the gable. How can he get good luck? In Baoding, Hebei, there is a boss who came to Beijing to develop architecture. When he started his business, his family was very poor, with only three mud-walled tile houses. A statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva is enshrined in the purlin of his home. Six years later, the boss made a fortune. In addition to a building in Beijing, he also built 14 high-standard brick houses in his hometown, with bright windows and luxurious decoration. At this time, he felt that Guanyin Bodhisattva was not suitable, and finally put it on the wall frame in the northeast corner. A year later, the boss's husband and wife's health declined sharply and their business lost money. This is the result of cramming, throwing it away without doing anything, doing your best, and dying. To respect Buddha and Bodhisattva, we must get rid of the misunderstanding of traditional habits. In the eyes of many people, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas need to be quiet, so it is very incorrect to offer sacrifices in a small and independent room that ordinary people seldom go to at home. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, like teachers of the people, are teaching and educating people. When teachers lose their students, they lose their jobs and cannot play their due role. From the perspective of respect, the history of Buddha and Bodhisattva ranks first, and we rank behind, which is equivalent to our ancestors and the elderly. Many people are thinking that the old people have worked hard all their lives and should retire and live a happy life. They should buy a house in a quiet place so that the old people can enjoy their old age. They mean well, but they are all wet. What the old people need is a spiritual life with three generations of children and grandchildren around their knees, which they cannot enjoy. It is very painful to leave their children and grandchildren. People are a member of social groups, far away from social groups, unable to see their children and grandchildren, lacking communication with friends, spiritually lonely, suffering from inner pain, and not far from leaving this world. Therefore, we can see that those temples with less incense and cold fire are not effective, while those temples with more incense are responsive in all aspects and have good results. All buddhas, bodhisattvas and immortals are close to and concerned about human beings, without hating the noise of people. In the process of understanding the true connotation of folk beliefs and religious beliefs, we should change traditional customs and truly believe in Buddhism and respect Buddha and Bodhisattva. This requires us to do the following: first, in the choice of places to worship Buddha and Bodhisattva at home, first of all, which place is recognized as the best and which place should be worshipped, which is the real respect; Second, the Buddha's dharma body should be solemn, and the image should be dignified and kind. Buddha incense should not be higher than the top of dharma body. The incense burner should be made of copper as much as possible. This is a golden rice bowl. Try not to use ceramic incense burners. This is a mud rice bowl, especially a Jun porcelain incense burner. Jun porcelain's gold hook and iron painting lines are beautiful, but it is a broken rice bowl in the eyes of the spiritual world. Third, Buddhist temples should be cleaned and wiped frequently, and people and gods should be rational. We should freshen up every day. Buddhists and bodhisattvas should also be radiant and not unkempt. Incense burners are like our rice bowls. We should clean everything except the mouth of incense burners, so that Buddhists and Bodhisattvas will be willing to accept incense.
