    If you want to worship the Buddhist scriptures, you can make a good offering, and if you don't worship them, take them to the temple and ask the temple to help you deal with them. Don't put the sutras in a dirty and filthy place, it's disrespectful. As for the amulet, it's handled as above.

    Reading Buddhist scriptures can eliminate sins, but repentance is more important. It's all about your heart. Taoist spells are not fake, but ordinary people nowadays can't learn the real thing, it's all skin.

    In Buddhism, magic means supernatural powers, but Buddhism is education, and it doesn't pay attention to supernatural powers, spells or anything. It just teaches people the truth of being a human being and doing things, the truth of the human body in the universe. In Buddhism, we have a teacher-student relationship with the Buddha, not a relationship between a high god and a worshipper.

    In other words, those who study Buddhism are students of Buddhism just like Avalokiteshvara. It's a classmate relationship. Only when we truly understand the various religions can we understand the meaning, and we must not talk nonsense from people who do not understand.

    In addition, Guanyin and the God of Wealth do not conflict at all. Guanyin is a bodhisattva, and the god of wealth is a god. Buddhism speaks of the six realms, celestial beings, asuras, humans, animals, asuras, hungry ghosts, and hells.

    The God of Wealth is also one of the six realms. And you and I are also humane people, and there are also people who have left samsara, such as shravaka, karma, bodhisattvas, and Buddhas. The first six are the six mortals, and the last four are the four saints.

    And Taoism is very good, but the highest cultivation of Taoism, in the end, just hopes that he will become an immortal and have spells, that is, celestial beings. Everything has cause and effect, and after enjoying a little heavenly blessing, he still has to fall, and as for turning into a pig and a dog, or becoming a human, it depends on what evil things he did before he cultivated. As for other religions, they also hope to go to heaven after death and be blessed as heavenly beings, but there will always be a day when they fall.

    Not satisfactory enough. As for your so-called spells, Buddhism also has them, then they have supernatural powers, and you can look at the strange experiences of many modern monks to prove that they also have so-called spells. That's not unusual. When your cultivation reaches a certain level, you will naturally be able to have it.

    If you study for this, then I suggest that you don't study it, because it's easy to go astray if you don't get it right. All religions in the world teach people to do good, and no one teaches people magic under the banner. Hehe.

    As for the fact that you burn incense and do not work, this suggestion is to see the "Four Teachings of Liaofan".

    Those who believe in Taoism can make offerings to bodhisattvas.

    Taoism and Buddhism are the two main religions in China, and they have some differences in beliefs, rituals, and customs, but both can be dedicated to the Bodhisattva.

    It is important to note that different religions have different beliefs and regulations, so when offering to a bodhisattva, the rules and rituals of that religion should be followed.

    There are different theories about the origin and origin of the Bodhisattva in Taoism, Buddhism, and folklore. Guanyin is the Bodhisattva with the most Chinese characteristics, and the Guanyin Bodhisattva in "Journey to the West" plays an intermediary between Taoism and Buddhism, whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, it has an inseparable connection with Guanyin Bodhisattva.

    1. Taoism.

    Cihang Taoist, one of the twelve immortals of Kunlun, practiced in the Luojia Cave of Putuo Mountain, no apprentice, because of the battle of the gods by the Western quasi-Taoist people, after abandoning the Tao into the Buddha, becoming the Guanyin Bodhisattva in the three major scholars of Buddhism, turning men into women, the most famous, known as "the great mercy and great compassion Guanyin".

    2. Buddhism.

    In Buddhism, he is the head Bodhisattva under the throne of Amitabha Buddha, the head of the Western Elysium, and together with the Great Trend Bodhisattva, he is the Bodhisattva next to Amitabha Buddha, and is called the "Three Sages of the West".

    The Four Great Bodhisattvas

    Manjushri takes great wisdom as his wish, and the scriptures are in the clouds: the heart is the precept, and the precepts are determined, and the precepts are determined by the precepts. Manjushri, on the other hand, uses the method of purification as the method of meditation.

    Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva takes great compassion as his original wish and aims to save suffering. The scripture says: To save all the ends, Guanyin is the most. Compassion is the removal of the suffering of sentient beings. Of course, we must give happiness to all living beings in order to be free from suffering.

    The Bodhisattva takes the ten vows as the original wish, from one to worship the Buddhas to the ten universal dedication. All reflect the Bodhisattva's desire to save all sentient beings, and it is even more incredible that the Bodhisattva has no retreat.

    The Jizo Bodhisattva is covered between yin and yang, leaving the dark suffering in the yin and the netherworld, and suffering in the yang breadth. And if you make a wish to live all sentient beings and then become a Buddha, you can see that there is no end to the wishes of all sentient beings.

    The Bodhisattva is second only to the Buddha in Buddhism.

    The Bodhisattva has left the Three Realms and the Six Realms of Reincarnation and is about to become a Buddha. And the Taoist gods and immortals have not reached the second layer of heaven in the world of desire, the sword is angry, and the first Zen heaven has not arrived. There are also six reincarnations.

    Hello dear, glad to answer for you. Buddhist Bodhisattvas and Taoist Bodhisattvas can be worshiped together, since ancient times, Buddhism and Taoism are one family, and only some people who are not enough to practice will have a view of the portal; The order of the gods is determined by men, not by gods; It mainly depends on what your religious beliefs are, if you believe in both religions, then they are all enshrined together, you don't have to separate, and you don't have to listen to some people say that the Buddha is in the middle and the others are on both sides, etc., according to the size of the statue itself, the big statue is in the middle, and the rest are lined up on both sides, remember, all sincerity is spiritual, a pious heart is more useful than any cumbersome ritual, remember not to have a gateway to the gods.

    When worshipping together, the Buddha statue should be in the center, the Bodhisattva should be on the left and right, and the gods and immortals should be on the outside of the Bodhisattva. If there are conditions, of course, it is best to set up a single Buddhist hall to worship Buddha statues, and Sun Song or Zheng Lian will set up a Buddhist shrine in the study room, and the principle is pure and solemn, not noisy. The position should be relatively high, and there should be no debris above.

    If the space is limited, it can also be planned together with the living room, and the higher space or cabinet can be used as an offering for the Buddha statue. However, there are a few points to avoid, stay away from the kitchen and restrooms, and it is best not to place televisions or stereos near the shrine.

    Absolutely.

    When you ask this question, you just don't know about the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are great achievers, great compassion and boundless power, they are here to save sentient beings, and when they become Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, there is no discrimination, all sentient beings are equal, and it is the same in their eyes. Naturally, I don't care about being with other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, let alone with other sentient beings.

    On the contrary, they will also take the initiative to seek it, which is called "great compassion without cause, great compassion with the same body" ("No chance of great mercy"It means that even if you have no fate and don't know you, the Buddha is willing to come to save you; "Compassion of the same body"As for other gods such as Guan Gong, Tai Sui, God of Wealth and the like, and even the ancestral tablets, they all belong to the six realms of sentient beings, and they all want to improve their cultivation to be on par with the Buddha and Bodhisattva, and they are naturally willing to get close to the Buddha and Bodhisattva, and of course they are more willing to put them together.

    When incense is applied, you can also put on the same pillar of incense, or three incense sticks or one incense stick respectively, you can worship together, chanting "Nan Wu Buddhas and Bodhisattvas", you can also worship separately, and you can chant "Brother Nam no Guanyin Bodhisattva" and "Nan Wu Jizo Sun Ming Bodhisattva", other gods and Buddhas in the past, are all OK.
