Can religion really bring us good luck and health?

If it's just for good luck and health, it's not good to buy and return the pearls.

What you believe in must be the truth, which can make people truly trustworthy, make people truly look up, and let people get the real treasure. These three things endure forever.

I hope you understand.

Things are man-made, and fate is not controlled by gods.

Most superstitious people believe that everything that happens in the world is controlled by the gods, and their own destiny is also in the hands of the gods, Buddhas, and immortals. Whenever life is not satisfactory, work is not going well, unlucky people get sick and injured, they will attribute the reason to their failure to worship the gods properly, which makes the gods angry, which causes them to have everything wrong, and they will not think that the cause is actually on themselves, let alone to solve the problem.

Superstition is divorced from reality, and family and work are wasted.

Many things can be done well through their own efforts, and superstitious people only think about worshiping the gods, and their minds are full of superstitious thoughts, how can they do things well? And in the long run, it is easy to ignore the feelings of the people around you, always beg the Bodhisattva to bless you with one mind, stay in the temple all day, don't care about your family, don't want to work, pray to God and worship Buddha all day long, and detach yourself from actual life.

Focus on the present, not superstitious escapism.

Many superstitious people pin their hopes on the gods and bodhisattvas, hoping that through their pious worship, they can make their future fortunes better. As everyone knows, this is just a way to escape from reality, always superstitious that the gods can make the future or the next life of their own luck better, better, in fact, you can make yourself live a better life is only yourself, you don't work hard, no matter how to ask God to worship the Buddha is useless, always look at the future regardless of the present is not right, what we have to do is to focus on the present, take every step.

Superstition is harmful and makes people negative and decadent.

Superstitious people are very negative, they will only pray to the gods and worship the Buddha when they encounter difficulties, pray that the gods can let them transfer, do not solve the problems, and dare not face them, which will only make the already bad things worse, day after day, year after year, long-term negative and pessimistic state will only make people more and more decadent, less and less enthusiastic about life, less and less confident in the future.

Faith is not the same as superstition.

Faith and superstition are completely different, people with faith will be stronger, and when they encounter difficulties and problems, they will think about the people, things, and things they believe in. Because they know that their fate is in their own hands, if they want to live a better life, meet better people, and get what they want, then work hard to improve themselves, make themselves better, and the harder they work, the luckier they are!

From the above, it can be seen that superstition is not credible, don't be a superstitious person, but also understand the difference between superstition and faith, don't be a person who only knows how to escape from reality, let alone accept fate, believe in your own strength, and strive for a better life.

A friend who played with me saw the cross around my neck and asked me this question: what are the benefits of being religious? I put "religious" in quotation marks here because I think there is a difference between "believing" and religious belief in her mind, and the "benefits" she is interested in have nothing to do with faith.

In fact, it is difficult to define the religious belief in her mind here, and she can only mention the advantages of true religious belief in passing, and these "benefits" have to start from people's misunderstandings of faith.

Many people say that it is good to have faith, but they often regard faith as a kind of spiritual sustenance, but it is not.

First, let's take a look at an excerpt from "Back to Basics" (

Louis).

In religion you can't find comfort by seeking. Searching for the truth, you may find comfort, looking for comfort, you get neither comfort nor truth, you get sweet words and unrealistic fantasies at the beginning, and you end up with despair.

The relationship between sustenance and truth is such that if you aim for truth, you can get sustenance, but if you aim for sustenance, you will despair forever.

There is also a small episode, many friends talk about the legalization and standardization of prostitution, thinking that it is a humane performance, I also thought so, but it is not.

In fact, the so-called normalization of prostitution is not a "humane" measure, but a helpless secularization of the diversion measure, which exists not because it is reasonable, but because of God's tolerance, because God leaves room for human repentance, if it is not so, it will not be a pity for mankind to perish immediately.
