The
temple is an extremely holy place, pure, separate from the worldly,
where the beings to pay homage to the Buddha, sowing the seeds of grace
with the Buddha. So, ancient people go to the temple not to pay money, but to express the respect for the Buddha.According to the Buddhist sutras, the Buddha does not need any human material. The
compassionate Buddha, who wants to save mankind from the suffering of
the samsara, should teach mankind mercy, advise people to renounce
material desires, renounce "greed and greed" to achieve pure mind, proceed to enlightenment. What the Buddha gives to man is not money, wealth or health but spiritual wisdom and enlightenment. All
things in the human realm that is according to the law of cause and
effect, who do good will result in good luck, who committed the evil
will be evil.
The compassionate Buddha wants to save man from the suffering of samsara.
However,
today, many people seem to have forgotten the Buddha's teachings, they
go to pagodas asking for money, prayers, prayers, prayers, rescue
victims ... They go from temple to temple, Someone say where the sacred is to go forward ...***
The dinner of my family became unusually bustling, all around the story mother intended to leave home 5 days to go to the temple early spring with some neighbors. Mother said this year is the age of the father, star mate of the two are also bad stars, should sincerely go to the temple to solve the problem.
Go to the pagoda early (Illustration)
Grand mother support mother. She said, the day draw drawings, the teacher said that this year many family events, so be careful. I am the "bare eyes of meat", only the way to rely on the Buddha, bless the blessing to be new.A father who does not mind much about spirituality. Speaking
atheist is not necessarily, but his father busy business, do not have
much time, so in the family, smoke flavor to be handled by a mother. Father
often only burn incense for his ancestors anniversaries, anniversary,
full moon, the first, not to go to the temple, to the worship as
grandmother and mother. Listen to the mother spent 5 days to go to the temple does not seem like, the father said:"The old stuff taught:" First is home, second at the market, third at the temple. " Do not keep on going to the house and then ignore the story of the family and then in the quiet outside. I do have it".
The most important is the cultivation of xinxing
"Most important is the cultivation of xinxing. I see that if you live honest, good work will be god bless, not necessarily to report the merit and demand this thing another. "There are gods on the head." I
go to college, sometimes the weekend I still go to the temple to eat
vegetarian, chanting, reciting Buddha for pure mind, but I do not ask
anything. My brother continued.Each person has an opinion, discussion, rumors and rumors, until the end of the meal has not finished the story, the end to do other work, so that the mother decides whether to go to the temple or not.
A painful image ... when the hand of a Buddha is like this ....
Normally I'm not a little talker, but today I really do not want to say a word. I led my mother into the room, took on the bookshelves of the Epoch Times magazine brought her mother."Page 56 had" Going to the temple early and misconceptions ". I thought you should read this and then decide whether to go to the temple or not. "Mom nodded her approval, picked up the magazine, and headed for the room.About 2 hours later ...Knock Knock knock!!! Guess the mother knocked on the door, I stood up to open the door, is not wrong!"The magazine is too cute! It
is true that the mother has only gone to the temple following the
movement, worshiping people without knowing that they have done many
wrong things. Mother thought to go to pagoda is the heart of the Buddha, who unexpectedly ... ".I said:"I know I'm wrong now, Mom. Compassionate Buddhists will not blame people. "Mother responded:"The next day I will not go to the temple anymore. Mother has just read the song "All the Buddhist life but why still not satisfied? This is because of lack of an incense stick ... "The article was so emotional.I smiled and gripped my mother's hand, I never saw her eyes so radiant, she looks so good and holy ...***Please excerpt a paragraph in the article: "The whole Buddhist cult but why still not satisfied? This is because of a lack of incense ... "
"The Buddha nature of the world, shaking the world"
"The
whole person standing in front of the statue of Buddha only pleads for
the benefits and fame of himself without knowing that: Chanting is not
successful, it is because" there is still a lack of incense. "What is "compression incense" it?It is said that the 'Buddha of compassion'. But
is it because the tray is high, because some fruit offerings, or
because some three compressed incense and chopped three times that the
Buddha must do what people are pursuing? If we hold that way of thinking, it is very likely that we are disrespectful to God Buddha without knowing it.So how is the gods bless the gods? Buddhism has the sentence: "Buddha nature most, shaken the world cross." "Buddha
nature" - that is when in the real heart pure, pure, not interested in
self interest, completely thinking to others, can touch the mind of the
Buddha. So also say, people value the reputation, money, status, but the Buddha only one word "mind" only.So,
when people can let go of their desires, let go of their pursuits,
focus only on their morality and their xinxing, naturally they will not
pray for themselves.
