lt;lt;A man wearing Guanyin and a woman carrying Buddhagt;gt;gt;gt; - This is disrespectful in Buddhism! - A must-read for modern Buddhist believers!
In recent years, some people who do not understand Buddhism want to rely on Buddhist mascots as "talismans" for the safety and well-being of themselves, their families and friends. Some handicraft manufacturers have taken the opportunity to cater to people's psychological needs. The statues of Buddha and Bodhisattva are used as "talismans" such as badges and gold cards. They also promote "men wearing Guanyin and women wearing Buddha". Some people even cast Buddha statues on gold rings. They not only carry Buddha and Bodhisattva statues to unclean places such as toilets, but also use The hand with the Buddha statue ring is not clean (someone once dropped the Buddha statue hanging on the body into the toilet).
It is said in the Buddhist scriptures that if a person does not wash his hands and pray to Buddha after going to the toilet, he will be guilty of immeasurable sins and will be infested with insects in the toilet after death. Then the crime of holding a Buddha statue in the toilet is even greater. "Master Yinguang's Notes" contains an introduction to the origin of the "Buddha Statue Badge": In the second year of the Republic of China, Master Daojie of Fayuan Temple in Beijing held a memorial ceremony for the Buddha's birthday and used the Sakyamuni Buddha statue as the badge. Master Yinguang had no idea what happened. Dao Jie came to Putuo to give Master Yinguang a badge, but Guang scolded him for blasphemy. Twelve years later, it was still like this. Shanghai also followed suit, and lay people today also follow suit. The sin of making figurines starts from the Taoist level. The level can still teach scriptures, but it is completely indifferent to respect and respect. It is really regrettable.
If you wear it to worship Buddha, it is not appropriate. If you wear it to worship others, it will destroy each other's blessings.
It can be seen from this that wearing a badge of Buddha or Bodhisattva does not bring blessings but invites sin and has no protective effect. The Buddha mentioned many times in the sutras that people should chant the holy names of Buddha and Bodhisattva, but never mentioned that people should wear Buddha statues. Nowadays, many businessmen and even some monasteries who only care about immediate profits are also using "protective Buddha" to make money. There are also some monks who have recently become monks and use badges such as Buddha statues and gold cards as gifts to make friends. In fact, they are committing sins without knowing it, and they will suffer endless suffering in the future.
There are also many people who print Buddhist scriptures in recent years, or print Buddha images on the cover of the scriptures. This is inappropriate and should be printed on the second page of the scriptures.
Most people who come to temples burn incense, but now many incense manufacturers do not improve the quality of incense, but use Buddha and Bodhisattva statues as packaging to attract pilgrims. People spend money to buy low-quality incense, but still put the packaging with Buddha images in the trash can, or leave it on the ground for people to step on. The crime is really unimaginable.
I hope that knowledgeable people will not buy incense printed with Buddha images in the future, and incense manufacturers will no longer use Buddha images as trademarks and packaging, but should improve the quality of incense. In this way, both those who make incense and those who buy incense can avoid sin and gain blessings, and both can benefit from it.
If you want to get the practical benefits of Buddhism, you must seek respect. I sincerely invite all the great virtues and believers from all directions to respect the Three Jewels and gain practical benefits together.
