    Some people feel very scared when looking at the Buddha statues, this is because many temples are in the deep mountains and old forests, in relatively remote places, if a person goes to these temples, it is inevitable that they will feel very afraid. There are some temples that are not taken care of by monks, so the Buddha statues and other furnishings in the temples will fall a lot of dust, plus some cobwebs, it looks very eerie. If you watch horror movies a lot, you may feel even more scared.

    The architecture of the temple is also very different from the building in the home, and even in the summer, you will feel very cold when you enter the temple. If you live in the countryside, you must have heard a sentence that one person does not enter the temple, two people do not look at the well, and three people do not hug the tree. If you want to go to a temple, it is best to go to some temples with monks, which is also a phenomenon that can reduce your fear, and there are temples with monks that will be taken care of.

    Where there are people, everyone's fear will be reduced a lot, in fact, this is also a psychological thought. Generally speaking, girls and some children are more timid, and they may be more afraid after seeing these Buddha statues. <>

    There are also many folk rumors about Buddha statues and some supernatural events, so many people will be more afraid, but I want to tell you that these are all non-dusty possibility, and Buddha statues are also worthy of respect. Many people will go to worship the Buddha statue in the morning, praying for a healthier family.

    All fear stems from the fear of a basic thing in our hearts, or we are relatively timid, so there is a phenomenon of fear. It is recommended that you can learn more about it, learn about the relevant knowledge, or you can choose to go to the temple with your friends, so that you will be particularly scared and be able to better protect yourself.

    Those who are not controlled by their thoughts and are truly alive are Buddhas.

    Bodhisattva is the name given to the enlightened after the Buddha.

    Buddhism was founded by the followers of the Buddha, and the Buddha himself did not even write Buddhist scriptures, let alone establish a sect. He just told us to "be our own beacons".

    The quiet environment of the temple, the burning of incense, etc., were originally intended to provide a good place for spiritual practice. But later this act was symbolized, mythologized, secularized, and turned into a prayer to the gods and Buddhas.

    The Buddha was originally worshiped to thank Siddhartha Gautama for his discovery, and he was a remarkable person. But later this act was also symbolized, mythologized, secularized, misunderstood, and turned into a prayer to the gods and Buddhas.

    There are two kinds of people who want to become a monk: one is to escape from reality. One is to attain enlightenment through monastic practice and thus live out the true nature.

    Ghosts are also called food incense, burning paper and burning incense is not to worship any gods and Buddhas, it was originally used to serve ghosts, because it is profitable, it expands its influence. The Buddha himself is atheistic, and Buddhism was originally a philosophical religion, so many people want to become monks and seek wisdom and liberation. But over time, Buddhism changed from an atheistic religion to a polytheistic religion, and even Shakyamuni himself was worshipped as a Buddha by believers.

    If you look at Buddhism today, what is the difference between it and the vegetable market, where people exchange incense, paper, and coins of one cent or five cents for blessings.

    A Buddha is enlightened, a bodhisattva is a Buddha who is close to enlightenment, and Buddhism is a loose group of people who believe in Buddhism.

    The main function of worshipping the Buddha is to give some people who have done bad things, people who have encountered setbacks, and people who are psychologically fragile to have a certain amount of psychological comfort.

    Most of the monks are people who have a difficult life and cannot find their place in society.

    To put it simply, a Buddha is an enlightened wise man, but this wisdom is not the wisdom that we comprehend, and this wisdom can know everything that happened in the past and future world.

    None of them are really willing to become monks, they are all escaping the pressure that reality brings to them, but then again, these pressures are their own blame. No one forced anyone to burn incense, no one forced anyone to worship the Buddha, they all voluntarily burned incense and worshiped the Buddha. The Buddha is the one who makes you happy from suffering, and the Bodhisattva is a fan of the Buddha.

    Buddhism says that everyone is a Buddha, and it is theoretically speaking. Indeed, our Buddha-nature does not increase in holiness and does not decrease in mortality, and the Buddha-nature of the Buddha is not as much as ours, and we are not as small as the Buddha's. But physically, we are still different from Buddhas.

    The Buddha can be free in the void of the ten directions, but we can't. It's like a gold mine, the gold in the vase is extracted and made into a treasure bottle, and the gold in the vase is as much as the gold in the gold mine, but the value is different.

    In addition, burning incense is not a patent of Buddhism, it is the result of the localization of Buddhism after it was transmitted to Middle-earth. Those who think that worshipping the Buddha and burning incense, but do not change their behavior from the true heart, to correspond to the Buddha, even if they burn the incense of the three thousand worlds, are only superstitious and useless. But worship the Buddha, the Buddhist scriptures say, worship the Buddha, sin destroys Hengsha.

    To worship the Buddha more is to let go of one's greed, hatred, and ignorance, so that the goal of eliminating sin can be achieved.

    1. It means that at the most abstract level, do not discriminate, saying that everyone is a Buddha, and saying that everyone is a human being, is the same meaning, a Buddha is a human being;

    2. But in fact, it is very difficult for people not to be able to discriminate, for example, the sentence you asked, it means that your consciousness itself is intentionally separated;

    3. As a teacher, the Buddha should be respected and mythologized by future generations, which is also cause and effect;

    4. Many people burn incense, not out of respect, but for self-interest, so you will always see someone burning incense to worship the Buddha.

    Burning incense is a way of expression, if it becomes superstition, it has nothing to do with burning incense itself, it is caused by people's choice and ignorance of righteousness, and their hearts suffer from gains and losses. If you know how to reflect and correct, burn incense and don't burn incense, it's just a difference in the form of marriage, follow your fate, and treat everything respectfully.

    If you have a Buddha in your heart, you are a Buddha, but most people don't realize it. Religion is just a kind of philosophy to educate people, most of the people in the world understand superficially, can't let go of all kinds of things, greed, worship no one is useless, or unhappy, unhappy means can't see through the eight sufferings of life, suffering from these eight sufferings every day, Buddha is liberating, don't have to suffer for the eight sufferings of life. Formalism is far less important, but in the eyes of most people, it is very important.

    If you have attained spiritual freedom and compassion in your heart, then you have realized that you are a Buddha, and when you are awakened, you don't need to go to the shrine.

    The Buddha is the person who has come before, and the person is the Buddha of the future. You're right, just worship yourself.

    Everyone is a Buddha, emphasizing the equality of all beings, rather than allowing you to be self-serving. Dogs also have Buddha nature, if you can let go of the unequal heart, there is no difference between worshipping the dog and worshipping the Buddha, but we are prone to make the mistake of either looking down on the dog or looking up to the Buddha, this kind of inequality of the mind can only show that we do not really understand what is equality, what is called unholy.
