    Land Bodhisattva does not recommend offering flowers. Because there is no land bodhisattva in Buddhism, the bodhisattva is a bodhisattva, and the land is a figure in Chinese Taoism or local beliefs, equal to heaven and man. We should learn from the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, call them teachers, and learn from them.

    Celestial beings, we respect them but do not pray, do not make offerings.

    Worshipping the heavens is a fluke mentality, wrong.

    The Dharma Sentence Parable: Mascot says: "Do not follow heaven and man, hope to seek luck; Nor do you pray to the shrine, which is the most auspicious. "Meaning, don't expect a fluke from the heavens.

    When some people worship the Buddha, they worship on all sides and ask him what he is worshipping, and he says, "Ah, this is to worship the ghosts and gods and the heavens." "This side worships the Buddha, and the other side worships the outer way, so there is no devotion to the Buddha.

    What did he want? This kind of hope to get a fluke is actually wrong. Buddhism says that what you sow will cause you will reap, and if you sow the cause yourself, you must bear the result, and it is not something that others can give.

    It's like eating, eating and filling yourself.

    The five precepts are laymen, and they do not worship the heavens.

    It is said that some people have received the five precepts, and when they worship the heavenly people, the heavenly people dare not accept it, and they hide far away, because of what? When a person who has received the five precepts goes to worship him, he is afraid that his good fortune will be reduced, and he wants to stay in heaven for a few more days. When you pray, his good fortune decreases, so you can't pray.

    Worship the outer way, lose the vows.

    It is easy to lose the three refuge precepts when worshipping the outer paths. Therefore, not going to worship gods and shrines is the most auspicious thing.

    We sometimes have a fear that this temple is not worshipped, what will it do if it comes to me in the future? This is the general psychology of everyone, a kind of dark shadow. What is actually the most auspicious thing?

    It is most auspicious for you not to worship. After you worship, there will be shadows, and when you produce shadows, your heart will be suspicious, and many correct views will be broken. Originally, we had a lot of correct views when we studied the Dharma, but because of this prayer, our correct views were broken again and again.

    So it's terrible, it's not a question of whether or not to worship, it's a question of whether we want to be auspicious or not. If we want to be auspicious, we have to stay away from these unkind, wrong and bad things.

    1. Flowers are one of the offerings to the Buddha and Bodhisattvas, and the flowers represent the cause, that is, the cause of repentance. Offering fruit to the table of cultivation and generosity to obtain good fruits.

    2. Make a vow to be pure when offering flowers: even if it is just to offer a flower to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, you must hold it with bodhichitta; This kind of offering is not for oneself, but for the liberation of all beings in the world.

    3. The object is pure: The statues of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas such as Shakyamuni Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva can be offered, but they must be standard Buddha statues.

    4. Purity of offerings: If we know that a certain flower is poisonous, or that it has a certain unpleasant smell of old spine, we should not offer this flower to the Buddha.

    5. Flowers for Buddha can include various flowers such as lotus flowers, or artificial flowers, plastic flowers, lotus lamps, etc.

    6. The Buddha hall uses plastic flowers to offer to the Buddha, which can avoid the trouble of frequent replacement. Plastic flowers, artificial flowers, lotus lamps, etc. can be changed once a week. Occasionally, flowers can be used, because flowers are sometimes more expensive, can be at the beginning.

    On festivals such as the 1st, 15th or Bathing Buddha Festival, flowers are offered to the Buddha.

    7. The flowers offered to the Buddha should be inserted quietly and solemnly, and some flowers wither earlier, so this part can be pruned off. After a long supply of plastic flowers, dust will accumulate on the flowers and leaves, so attention should be paid to cleaning.

    Yes, there can be five things to worship the Buddha and Bodhisattva, which are: flowers, lamps, incense, water, and fruits. Flowers and plants are flowers, of course.

    In addition, offering incense to the Buddha and making offerings is only one aspect of our study of Buddhism and belief in Buddhism, and more importantly, it is also more important to pay attention to the implementation of the Buddha's teachings to us: do not do all evil, and practice all good. If you can correct your mistakes, do good deeds, and be a good student of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will be very happy when they know about it, and you will have good fortune as a result!

    In the accumulation of virtue, it is easy for us to ignore the filial piety to our parents, and our parents are our greatest blessing. Filial piety to our parents can accumulate good fortune for us, while unfilial piety will undermine our good luck. Confucius said that the most difficult thing to be filial to one's parents is "erotic difficulty", that is, it is difficult to be kind to one's parents, so we must treat our parents with tenderness, speak softly, and do not speak fiercely.

    Finally, I suggest that you ask for an introductory book on Buddhism to get a comprehensive and concrete understanding of the Dharma. The Buddha said that the human body is rare, and the Dharma smells bad. That is to say, it is a very rare thing to be reincarnated as a human being, and it is even more rare to get a human body and hear the Dharma, if we are in the world, without the guidance of the Dharma, without doing a lot of good deeds and accumulating virtues, we may lose our human body in the next life, and thus enter the three evil realms to suffer, (the three evil realms are hell, hungry ghosts, and livestock), so please cherish your Buddha fate, seize the time, and study Buddhism hard.

    The book suggests "Understanding Buddhism" written by Master Jingkong, Buddhism explains the origin of our world, the task of life, and how we can get happiness from suffering, which is very worthy of our learning. This book can be pleased in the temple.
