Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva asked why he should not make offerings casually

Have you read the "Ksitigarbha Sutra"? If you make offerings to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, you will not fall into the evil path. I have never heard that Bodhisattva cannot make offerings.

"Ksitigarbha Sutra" The Tathagata's Praise Chapter 6 "Universal Guangdong, if there is a good man or a good woman, or paint an image, or earth, stone, glue, paint, gold, silver, copper and iron, make this Bodhisattva, one Those who pay homage will be reborn in the thirty-three heavens a hundred times and will never fall into the evil realm. If the blessings in heaven are exhausted and they are reborn as kings, they will not lose great benefits. This situation occurred when your grandma made offerings to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. It is not necessarily because of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. There may be other reasons. It may also be due to induction. Before the karma appears, a serious illness occurs. This is a good thing. Because of this illness, many karma will be eliminated. Many eminent monks and great virtues also have this induction. When Master Xuanzang passed away, he fell ill. Some students asked him: "You, old man, have such good skills in spiritual practice, translated so many classics in your life, and have such great merits. How come you are still sick when you leave?" He said that he was a sin obstacle since the beginning of the kalpa, and his serious crimes were lightly punished. , in this illness, all karma was eliminated. . Another situation is that the method of making offerings is wrong, which results in slandering the Buddha's teachings and praising the Buddha's images.

You can make offerings to Buddha statues regardless of fate or not. As long as the method is correct, it will be beneficial and harmless, so feel free to make offerings.
