Chinese Guanyin Bodhisattva Beliefs:

Avalokiteshvara is one of the four great bodhisattvas of Chinese Buddhism. According to legend, his birthday is the 19th day of the second lunar month, the enlightenment day is the 19th day of the 6th month of the lunar calendar, the day of Nirvana is the 19th day of the 9th month of the lunar calendar, and the Dharma dojo is Putuo Mountain. The belief in Guanyin has a far-reaching influence in China, resulting in various folk legends about Guanyin Bodhisattva, such as the widely spread saying that Guanyin is the third princess of the king of Xinglin Miaozhuang, Princess Miaoshan.

This kind of legend of female Guanyin can be seen in Zhu Ben's "Quwei Old News" in the Song Dynasty. Subsequently, at the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the pipeline rose to the "Biography of Guanyin Bodhisattva" to become a complete biography. Based on this, a large number of Guanyin storybooks such as "Xiangshan Treasure Scroll", "The Complete Biography of Guanyin in the South China Sea", and "Guanyin Attained the Dao" have also appeared.

When worshipping the Bodhisattva, you must recite three words silently in your mouth.

Guanyin Bodhisattva is the embodiment of great compassion, has always been loved by people, the folk have always had the customs and habits of worshiping Guanyin Bodhisattva, not only people who believe in Buddhism worship Guanyin Bodhisattva, there are many people who do not believe in Buddhism, they also like to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Many people worship the Bodhisattva only thinking of asking Guanyin Bodhisattva, and do not think of giving more to accumulate blessings, and it is a wrong behavior to worship the Bodhisattva with such a utilitarian heart. When worshipping the Bodhisattva, you must recite three words silently in your mouth.

Clause. 1. Maintain a compassionate and kind heart.

Our motivation in front of the Buddha is very important, and when you go to the temple to meet Guanyin Bodhisattva, you have to have compassion in front of the Bodhisattva. If you don't have any thoughts of compassion or gratitude just to ask the Bodhisattva, it will be useless for you to burn as much incense as you want to ask the Bodhisattva.

Buddhists often say: "If you don't have a good heart when you say Guanyin, it's in vain to shout to break your throat." "What kind of attitude you use to worship the Bodhisattva, what kind of results you will get. Those who worship the Bodhisattva with a good heart will naturally get good results.

Second, learn to be grateful to the Bodhisattva.

As mentioned above, many people only want to get when they worship the Buddha, but they don't want to give, but they don't have the cause and effect of the world, and there is no truth that there is no gain if they give. In the Buddhist view, the more you ask when you worship a bodhisattva, the greater the loss. The more you give, the more you get in return.

When we go to worship the Bodhisattva, we must know how to be grateful. As the saying goes, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." "We should do unto others as you would have them do unto us. If you want to be blessed by a bodhisattva, you must first give thanks to the bodhisattva.

In life, if you are good to others, others can be good to you, Guanyin Bodhisattva is kind to us, we must remember the kindness of the Bodhisattva, and worship the Bodhisattva with the heart of repaying the kindness, so that it will be beneficial to ourselves.

Third, keep a normal mindset.

When we go to the temple to worship Guanyin, we must maintain a normal state of mind. We must worship the Buddha with the attitude of being lucky and losing my life. Don't be too persistent, learn to do your best and obey the destiny of heaven.

There is no absolute, and there is no certainty in the world, you must know how to follow fate, worship the Bodhisattva, know how to be grateful if you have good luck, don't blame others if you don't have good luck, and don't complain, but to find the reason from yourself, to see if you are not doing well, only with such a mentality to worship the Bodhisattva, it is good for yourself.

Many people don't know much about Buddhism, I recommend a Buddhist primer, you can take a look, understand the basic knowledge of Buddhism, only after an in-depth understanding of Buddhism, and by constantly practicing yourself in accordance with the Buddha's teachings, learning Buddhism can really benefit.
