Pray to Buddha for the health of your family in 2017, and there are some rules for burning incense and praying to Buddha during the Spring Festival!
Introduction: The Spring Festival is an important traditional cultural festival in our country. It has many customs, many of which require burning incense and worshiping gods in order to pray that the family will be smooth and blessed in the coming year. Therefore, there are certain rules for burning incense and worshiping Buddha. So, what should we pay attention to when burning incense and worshiping Buddha during the Spring Festival? Now, let’s follow the editor to learn about it. In addition to the grand and festive celebrations of the Spring Festival, we also need to pay attention to some taboos regarding the Spring Festival. Next, let’s take a closer look at the Spring Festival special topic compiled by Mr. Shui Mo!There are four meanings of worshipping Buddha:1. Induction worship: to ask Buddha and Bodhisattva for blessings, to grant good luck, to avoid disasters, to ask Buddha to guide and liberate, and to thank for the kindness.2. Worship with respect: Worship out of respect for the Three Jewels, or out of gratitude and reverence. This kind of worship comes spontaneously from the sincerity of the heart. 3. Confession worship: that is, worship for repentance. Anyone who can do the confession service must already be humble or is learning to be humble. Therefore, the confession service can enhance one’s personality, change one’s temperament, and make one become honest, gentle, and modest. 4. Formless worship: Formless worship means worshipping without asking for anything, which is divided into three levels. At first, you know that you are worshipping, experience every movement of worshipping, and direct your body to worship; when you enter the second level, you know that you are worshipping and experience yourself worshipping, but the mind of command is gone; finally, you reach the third level, with neither command nor experience, but you clearly know that someone is worshipping, and you don’t mind who this person is. Anyway, "he" is worshipping. Therefore, when worshiping the Buddha, you should bow down slowly and stand up slowly, one movement at a time, very clearly and naturally. Your movements should be slower, easier and softer. Great virtues demonstrated how to experience each movement and the feeling of the movements slowly and easily. Do not make the movements of worshiping the Buddha hurried or nervous. Otherwise, if you worship too quickly, you will feel panic, busy, anxious and chaotic, and lose your peace and tranquility. When worshiping Buddha, place your forehead on the ground, keep your back straight, your body should be soft, and even the ground you touch should be soft and cool. After bowing down, use your heart to experience your two palms. After standing up, experience the movements and feelings of your hands and feet. Feel your experience, experience your feelings, feel every little part. If, when you worship Buddha, you only go through the motions but lack sincerity and a sense of shame, then you are just kowtowing like crazy, which will hardly help improve your personality. If it is inconvenient to come to the temple to worship Buddha, you can also repent, express gratitude, or relax your body and mind by worshiping in the Buddhist altar at home or in an open and bright place. Especially when you feel restless, you might as well calm your troubled mind by praying to Buddha! Buddha is the abbreviation of Buddha, which means an enlightened person, a person with great compassion, a person with great blessings and wisdom. Worshiping Buddha means taking Buddha as a teacher, learning how to behave in the world according to Buddhist principles, accumulating virtues and blessings, being a compassionate and wise person, a person who is pure and healthy in body and mind, a happy and worry-free person, a person who is beneficial to society, the country, and all living beings, and a selfless and altruistic person. Because Buddhism is the Buddha's education, which is the education of being a human being. A successful life is a success in being a human being. So how should we worship Buddha? The key is sincerity and respect. Master Yin Guang taught us: "If you want to obtain the true benefits of Buddhism, you must seek them in reverence. If you have one point of reverence, you will eliminate one point of sin and gain one point of blessings and wisdom. If you have ten points of reverence, you will eliminate ten points of sin and gain ten points of blessings and wisdom." Summary: Through the above article content, we have a certain understanding of the etiquette of burning incense and worshiping Buddha during the Spring Festival. I hope these contents can provide some reference for everyone. I wish you and your family happiness and good luck in the new year!
