What Buddha statues should be offered to lay lay monks?

Generally, we can make offerings to our Guru Shakyamuni.

Buddha, of course, many of our brothers will also worship Avalokiteshvara.

It should be noted that we can worship Buddha Shakyamuni, Avalokiteshvara, Amitabha Buddha and other Buddha statues, but we don't need to invite too many Buddha statues, we can worship one Buddha statue, which also represents all Buddhas.

I personally recommend offering the Amitabha Buddha statue. If you want to alleviate the obstacles of sin, visualize Amitabha. Imagine the Buddha statue you have seen (whether it is a sculpture or a painting).

Then hold it until the image is clear and obvious, then this Buddha statue is the situation.

There is no connection between the practice of meditation and the offering of Buddha statues. First of all, what is meditation? Meditation is not moving the mind on the inside and not looking at the outside.

As for which Buddha to support by studying Buddhism, it depends on which Buddha you like, and at a glance you see which Buddha you like is the most destined, just worship him at home. The purpose of offering to the Buddha is to enable us to learn from the Buddha from time to time, and to learn from the Buddha's sincerity, purity, equality, and compassion. If you offer Buddha at home, people will not dare to do bad things.

It depends on which Buddha you have faith in, in fact, you can also make offerings to your teacher, Shakyamuni Buddha.

1. Place the incense case, the statue of God, Buddha and Bodhisattva is centered, and five offerings are placed in front (1 incense burner is centered, and three incense sticks are inserted; 2 vases on the left and right, three or five flowers arranged, odd number is appropriate; A pair of candlesticks on the left and right, with red candles. collectively known as the "Five Offerings").

2. Put five grains (five colors of grains, such as rice, black beans, mung beans, soybeans, peanuts, etc.), five fruits (five colored fruits such as apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, pears, etc.), three cups of tea, etc., remember not to put meat, otherwise it will damage the gods and Buddhas (because becoming a god will "not eat the things of the world"), and also damage their own blessings.

3. Whether it is gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas or in fact, they can be worshiped together, or they can share a furnace of incense. As for the statement that "the Buddha fights for a furnace of incense", it is purely superstitious or folk customs, and it should not be true. Because Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are great achievers, they are here to save sentient beings, and the power of great compassion and compassion is boundless, and there is no distinction anymore, so naturally they do not care; And the immortals, the ancestral gods, including the heavenly and earth monarchs, all belong to the six realms of beings who have not yet jumped out of reincarnation, and they are naturally willing to get close to the Dharma, not only do not count, but also have more joy!

However, it should be noted that when you offer incense, you must call the name of the Buddha and Bodhisattva you worship (you can also think about it in your heart), and worship Guanyin Bodhisattva and call it "Nan Wu (pronounced "Namo") Guanyin Bodhisattva" or "Nan Wu Great Compassion and Great Compassion to Save Suffering and Rescue Guanyin Bodhisattva"; Worship the Buddha and call it "Nan Wu Master Shakyamuni Buddha"; Worship the Jade Emperor and call it "Nanwu Jade Emperor" and so on. If you want to be lazy, or if you are in a hurry, you can collectively refer to the "Gods and Buddhas".

You can buy a Buddha statue and make offerings. The Buddha statue remembers to face west because of the western Elysium. The face of the Buddha statue should face west.

Offering the Three Jewels is making an offering to the Buddha, every time you go to the monastery to buy a ticket, you donate money to the Buddha for the renovation of the temple, and you are offering to the Buddha when you make an offering to the monks! If you practice the Dharma and maintain mindfulness awareness, you are making Dharma offerings.

Yes, as long as you have a Buddha in your heart.
