What are the Buddhist rituals? What are the basic rituals of Buddhism

The Buddhist rituals are:

3. Before entering the temple, you should first purify your body and mind, wash your hands, and do not look around or look around when entering, and only after worship can you look at the holy face and recite the clouds: If you can see the Buddha, you should wish all sentient beings to see all the Buddhas without hindrance.

One is the etiquette of the human temple. Behind the door of the temple, it is advisable to go straight without searching for auspiciousness, and the advance and retreat should be walked along the left arm of the individual, in the door of the temple, the hat and cane must be carried by themselves, or it is better to store it, and it is not allowed to place it on the Buddha case and the Buddha seat.

The second is the ritual of worshiping the Buddha. The main hall ** worship mat is used by the temple master, not in the upper worship, it is advisable to feast on the cushion stools on both sides, divided into men and women to worship on the left and women, where someone worships, can not walk in front of his head.

The third is the etiquette of reading the scriptures. If there is a public reading of the scriptures in the temple, you can sit and read them casually, you must first clean your hands, put it on the table and look at it, do not hold a scroll, or put it on your lap, and especially do not add clothes and hats to the scriptures.

Fourth, the etiquette of worshipping monks. When you meet, you are called a world judge, or a great monk, and you should not be called a monk or a monk. The common way to greet monks is to put their hands together, bow their heads slightly, show respect, and avoid improper etiquette such as shaking hands, hugging, and touching the monk's head.

When bowing to him, if he says a bow, he should not continue to prostrate, and no mortal should bow to him when he is praying to the Buddha, sitting in meditation, chanting, eating, sleeping, sutras, or going to the toilet.

Fifth, ritual etiquette. The bells, drums, and fish in the temple are not allowed to be knocked without permission, and the tin staff, mantle and other things are not allowed to move.

Sixth, the etiquette of listening to the scriptures. After taking a seat, do not greet acquaintances, do not sit up, cough and talk, if you can't listen, but do a chorus to the Master, withdraw quietly, and do not beckon others to retreat.

Whenever I arrive at the temple, I feel a transcendent purity and tranquility, and I feel a solemn and quiet heart, which makes people naturally want to enter the main hall, worship the Buddha three times, express their respect and gratitude to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and feel the stability and humility of the Buddha worshippers from the soft, slow and serene bending down to worship the Buddha. Below I have sorted out for you, I hope it will be useful to you!

People who don't know Buddhism think that worshipping Buddha is superstition and idolatry. In fact, Buddhism worships the Buddha and Bodhisattva, expressing respect and gratitude for the Three Jewels of the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha. At the same time, worshipping the Buddha can also repent of the negative karma that oneself has created. Therefore, worshipping the Buddha is the first religious ritual that every Buddhist should learn.

The action of worshiping the Buddha is to sincerely and respectfully put your hands together, bow your head and bend down, and throw your five bodies to the ground - two elbows, two knees and forehead to the ground, to complete the highest salute of the head and face touching the Buddha's feet, so it is also called prostration. Bending down and bowing one's head shows humility and admits one's lack of merit and wisdom, and when the five bodies are thrown into the ground and touches the earth, it is touching that the earth gives birth to sentient beings, carries sentient beings, and contains all the spirits, so that we can be grateful to the earth and all sentient beings with a heart of gratitude, a heart that thinks of the source with drinking water, and is grateful to the earth and all sentient beings.

And from the action of worshiping the Buddha, it makes people think that when people's hearts are full of respect, gratitude and repentance, there are also like ears of rice, which droop due to ripeness; And the meaning of worshipping the Buddha is like this.

1. Stand with your hands together, your feet in a figure-eight shape, your heels about two inches apart, your toes about eight inches apart, and your eyes on the tips of your fingers.

2. The right hand goes down first, the left hand is still in the shape of a palm, the waist is slowly squatting, and the right arm is stretched forward, the right palm is pressed down on the ** of the mat or the front of the right knee, the left palm is still held still, and the knees are immediately kneeling. After kneeling, the left palm is stretched down and pressed on the left side of the mat** over the right half palm. When worshipping the Buddha, do not move or flip the toes of your feet.

3. The right palm is moved forward by the right side of the mat or the front of the right knee, and the left palm is at the same time, the two palms are about six inches apart, and the forehead is flat on the ground.

4. Two grasp the virtual fist, turn the palm upward, open the palm, and the palm is up and the back of the palm is flat to the ground, which is called the head and face of the foot ceremony. When the head hits the ground, the forehead touches the ground, not the top of the head.

5. When getting up, flip your fists with both hands, open your palms, put your palms down to the ground, keep your head off the ground or the prayer mat in the sedan hall, and move your right hand back to the prayer mat or the front of your right knee.
