There are no special requirements for offering fruit in front of the Buddha, and common fruits such as apples, oranges, and watermelons can be used. However, fruits with a special smell such as durian are best not to be offered. In addition, because pears are homophonic with "li", they are not suitable as fruit-offerings.

Fruits bought from outside must be washed before being placed on the table, and if they are fruits that need to be peeled, they must also be peeled before they can be offered.

Extended information: Offering fruits, is Buddhism.

One of the most important ways to make offerings. In Buddhism, effect represents the result and consummation, and Buddhism attaches great importance to cause and effect, and everything is inseparable from cause and effect. Among them, offering flowers represents good causes, and offering fruits represents good fruits.

The realm of Buddhist practice also uses the fruit position to indicate that the highest state is the attainment of Buddhahood, that is, the ability to "realize, perceive others, and realize fullness".

In order to remind themselves that they have attained this perfect Buddhahood, Buddhists often offer fresh fruits in front of the Buddha, and the offering of fruits in front of the Buddha is a manifestation of the Dharma, inspiring sentient beings to always know how to refrain from all evil and to practice all good.

All the fruits that we usually eat can be offered to the Bodhisattva.

There are no requirements for the variety of fruits to be enshrined, but care should be taken to choose ripe, fresh, and clean fruits to worship the Bodhisattva.

For example, you can have a plate of fruit, a plate of snacks, and a plate of meat. But you can't just put a plate and think it's okay. Since worshipping the gods is a festive event, it is reasonable to avoid a single in action, so the offering fruit can be used in an even number, and the odd number should not be used.

The following kinds of fruits are not allowed to be offered:

1. Pomegranate. The offering is to express their respect, many people will choose fruits, flowers, wine and water offerings, what are the fruits that can not be offered, there is a saying in the folk, the seeds will enter the sewer before the pomegranate grows, people think that it is not clean, so do not use pomegranates to offer.

2. Cherries. Cherries are also a fruit that is not suitable for offerings, mainly because the cherry fruit is small, but it is often sown by seeds, so that the seeds come into contact with unclean things, and offerings are sacred and solemn, so cherries cannot be offerings.

3. Pears. In many places, pears cannot be used to offer to the Buddha, because everyone thinks that "pear" is homophonic to "leave", which will give people a sense of separation and contain a bad meaning, so pears are generally not used to offer to Buddha. Apple can be used instead, there is a saying to keep peace.

4. Plums. The reason why people think that plums can't be used for offerings is because plums and Taishang Laojun.

In the case of surname conflicts, in order to avoid secrecy and to show respect for the gods, other fruits will be chosen instead.

Taboos: 1. Do not use beef and dog meat to worship the gods. 2. Do not use eels and eels to worship the gods. 3. Avoid using food that has been eaten to worship the gods. 4. Avoid using bitter gourd and winter gourd to worship the gods. 5. Do not use "hollow" fruit sacrifices.

There is also a saying that you should not make offerings that are not good for God, I hope mine will help you!

According to the traditional customs of our country, the fruit is generally enshrined with five fruits (referring to the color of the fruit of the five colors of green, yellow, red, white and black), and the number is singular, because the singular number is yang, and the even number is yin.

The fruits offered to the bodhisattva are as follows:

1. Citrus orange: "orange" means "auspicious", and the color of the orange itself is golden yellow, which looks like gold, so the orange is conducive to attracting wealth and treasure. In addition, the taste of the orange itself is quite fragrant, and even if it is not served, it has a good effect of refreshing the air.

3.Pineapple: The skin of the pineapple is one by one, which means that it rises day by day. It is more respectful to shout one oak on the left and right when worshipping, so pineapple is also a very suitable fruit for worship.

4. Lychee: The peel of lychee is red, so it has good edible significance and is also very ornamental. However, lychees have a short shelf life and need to be replaced frequently.

5.Peaches: Peaches are also called fairy peaches and longevity peaches, so many places will use peaches as fruits for serving, and peaches can still be eaten after serving.

This statement is incorrect.

Offering to the Bodhisattva, fruits, grains, tea, wine, water, flowers, all can be.

The five kinds of fruits do not have a scientific basis for Yingxiang, but which one is a kind of belief in people's spine.

The number of fruits offered is not the key, it is good to put a few, but it is necessary to pay attention to a few taboos, such as pomegranates and cherries should not be offered, and Taoist ones cannot be offered to plums.

In fact, the importance of fruit is really not as much as ordinary people think. Some people think that pears can't be offered, because the homonym is separate, which is a bad meaning. But in fact, the offerings of the Buddha and Bodhisattva pay attention to the form and meaning. Fruit represents a constant reminder to those who study Buddhism to practice hard and attain positive results.
