The disciple made a vow to become a monk, how to make a vow to take refuge in the master

Buddhism attaches great importance to the practice of life, and to be able to practice the Dharma in daily life is practice. Therefore, Buddhists can practice throughout the day from waking up in the morning to resting at night. Such as:

Morning and evening recitations, walking, sitting, lying down, going out with the family, dealing with others, studying and studying, etc., should abide by the Dharma, be compassionate, convenient, and kind to others, which is the practice. Buddhism values the experience of practice, and when there is enlightenment, there is a point of ignorance. Therefore, the practice can be done on your own schedule, as long as you can do it consistently.

For example, in the morning, worship incense, or chant a sutra, or sit quietly for five minutes; You can also pray to the Buddha in front of the Buddha before going to bed to meditate, or recite prayers to reflect on yourself; You can also participate in the dojo to wash away your greed and troubles.

Can escapism escape family affection? When you go to escape the world, who will support your old father when he is old? Who can be filial piety in bed when they are seriously ill?

I'm on a mission, I wish you all the best!

Then come out, why are you so long-winded, you still want others to keep you.

Nowadays, many people want to believe in Buddhism, but they don't know where to begin, and they don't know the specific meaning and content of believing in Buddhism, so that they are far from getting the benefits of believing in Buddhism, and some even deviate from the true Buddhist path.

Taking refuge is the dependence and destination of the heart. Fundamentally, as long as a person believes in Buddhism and is determined to convert to Buddhism, he can be called a Buddhist, but generally speaking, the ritual of refuge is still necessary and meaningful.

1. Refuge rituals.

Refuge ceremonies can be performed in temples. In general, temples have regular conversion ceremonies for believers. If you find it inconvenient, for example, if a nearby temple only holds a refuge ceremony once or twice a year, and you want to take refuge now, then you can take refuge in front of the Buddha on your own.

Because refuge is the refuge of the mind, even if there is no witness, but the Buddha is omnipresent and omniscient, as long as you take refuge sincerely, the Buddha will recognize you, and you are a Buddhist.

Second, bathe before taking refuge. If possible, incense should be burned.

Thirdly, the Buddha statue that we take refuge in is usually the Buddha Shakyamuni, the Buddhist leader of our sampa world. Others, for example, if you are inclined to cultivate the Pure Land, then the first choice can also be the Amitabha Buddha statue. There is still a difference between a Buddha and a Bodhisattva, and the first choice should be a Buddha statue.

But if you are particularly close to a certain bodhisattva, you like to take refuge in him as your main deity, such as Avalokiteshvara, or King Jizo, Manjushri.

Fifth, burn incense and make offerings before taking refuge. Three sticks of incense will do. Offerings can mainly be sweet melons and fruits, and no meat should be avoided.

Sixth, take refuge. Solemnly recite the refuge vow: "I so-and-so, I vow to take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha until I become a Buddha" three times, and each time I recite it, kowtow my head.

Kowtowing to the supreme Buddha is a sign of respect and seeking blessings and protection. Taking refuge in Buddhism is mainly the three refuges, that is, taking refuge in the Three Jewels of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, and the specific meaning of taking refuge in Buddha, Dharma and Sangha will be explained in detail below.

Seventh, the refuge vow is completed and the ceremony ends.
