In addition, if the door of the house is located in the direction of the dark wealth, you can also place a lucky pig with a copper coin at the entrance of the door, because both places belong to the gas inlet.

The pig's head of the small year offering is placed in the direction of the God of Wealth, welcoming fortune.

1 We have seen too many things that Chinese often kill and sacrifice to their ancestors, sacrifice to ghosts and gods, and create immeasurable and boundless sinful karma, and they are not aware of it.

2 The Buddha made it very clear in the scriptures that he should give thanks to the ghosts and gods on his happy day, and that the ghosts and gods should not be killed or sacrificed. What's with? Killing and sacrificing, not only do we who kill people have sinful karma, but in the next life we will definitely fall into the three paths; As a result, the ghosts and gods who receive sacrifices also increase their karma, and their future is even more difficult.

3 Killing and sacrificing, the good gods and good demons are far away, and they are not willing to bear this sin. Why? You killed for him, and if he accepted the offering, he would bear the sin.

4 But there are some evil gods who are fierce, and who receive the offering of blood without fear, and because of this the fall of man and the spirits—man does this bad karma, and he goes to hell in the next life. Demons and gods created this sinful karma, and they will also go to hell in the next life. Knowing these facts, we decided that we could not kill.

A pig's tail is given on the pig's head, which means a whole headPig. In the process of worshipping ancestors, the main tribute is pork, and the whole pig sacrifice is emphasized. The so-called whole pig is not really a whole pig as a tribute, but the expressive parts of the pig's body.

Generally, there is a pig's head, four hooves and a tail of the pig, which is the whole pig.

The origin of the offering on the pig's head

In ancient times, sacrifices required three animals and six animals, namely cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, dogs, and chickens. But to get together these six kinds of livestock, in addition to the rich people, ordinary people are unlikely to take out, after all, ordinary people such as cattle, horses and sheep cannot afford to raise, even if they can afford to be used for agricultural production and breeding and trading, they will not be used for their own consumption.

The pig's head sacrifice was first derived from the Shang Dynasty, and it was said that the rich ate sheep, the poor ate pigs, and pigs and chickens were luxury goods that the general public could occasionally consume. It's okay to say that the whole chicken and the whole fish are not affordable, so the pig's head is used instead.

Since then, most people have offered pigs' heads. Often take the pig's head and pig tail as the whole pig taboo, as a meaning of having a head and a tail. In some areas, four trotters are added, or a pig offal, or a ball of pig hair.

The meaning is also to show the whole with zero. However, there are also quite a lot of people who use whole pigs to taboo worship, and if they are not particular, they can also be tabooed with a piece of roast meat.

New Year's Guanyin on the offering can not be offered to the pig's head. Avalokiteshvara's only six offerings:

2. Buddha lamp. The lamp represents light, and the light represents hope and wisdom, so those lamps in front of the Buddha and Bodhisattva are eternal and are meant to guide us to hope and wisdom'The path of life. 3. Candles.

We all know that to be a human being is to have the spirit of a candle, to burn oneself and illuminate others, which is also what Buddhism has always advocated to give up one's own thoughts, dedicate one's own ideas and concepts, use one's own actions and wisdom to help those in need, and selflessly serve the public and society.

4. Flowers. Buddhism calls flowers as the cause, on behalf of virtue, when we see the flowers offered in front of the Buddha, do not forget to cultivate virtue, plant good causes, and bear good fruits, this is the reincarnation of cause and effect, so we usually have to do more good deeds and accumulate virtue, do more good deeds, good deeds are not divided into big and small, do not take good and small and simply touch nothing.

5. Fruits. Buddhism says that fruit represents virtue and fruit, and he reminds us what kind of fruit we want to get, then what kind of cause to cultivate, as the so-called good people have good rewards, and evil people have evil and dry talk about retribution.

6. Tribute water represents clarity and cleanness, Buddhism believes that everyone has a bowl of water in their hearts, which is clearly visible when the heart is quiet, and turbid and blurred when irritable, and also represents that all people are equal in front of the Buddha and Bodhisattva, and there is no distinction between high and low. In Buddhism, this tribute water is the most important, and other offerings can be dispensed without, but this bowl of water must be there, and he always reminds us that we should always fail to cultivate a pure mind, an egalitarian mind, which is also the Buddha's mind.

It is not possible to offer a pig's head to Guanyin during the New Year, because Buddhism is particular about not killing, so it is more appropriate to offer fruits.

Offering meat to the Bodhisattva must not be served, because the Buddha and Bodhisattva are vegetarians. If you put on the pig's head, it should be for the immortal family, if there is no immortal family, you can't make offerings.

Hello pig head, it must be a whole pig head. It is generally the big day of the first fifteenth day of the new year. The pig's face is facing outward, but not facing the idol.

If the family does not allow it, in addition to the pig's head, a few pig's trotters are offered, and then a knife of meat is given to the pig's back, which symbolizes the worship of the whole pig. When the meat offering is completed, after the offering, all the staff can remove the three incense sticks, and the tributes such as fruits can be left for a few more days. Of course, the customs are different in different places, you can follow the method I told you, and then combine the situation on your side.
