What is a short offering? What are the merits of making simple offerings?

The Sadhana we use was made by the lineage Guru Maipen Rinpoche. It's straightforward, convenient and complete, and it's the easiest way to make a meeting.

What merit is to make a simple offering.

We can usually recite this simple offering before eating and drinking, which is equivalent to making an offering for food and drink. This is a skillful and convenient practice that has the merit of eliminating karma and accumulating good fortune.

When you see something beautiful and pleasant, you can also make an offering by reciting the sadhana.

If it's convenient, it's best to recite it, visualize it, and make mudras at the same time. Taken together, these methods are the most complete and special.

Khenpo Tazhen: Then it depends on your own realm. Actually, it's not that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have to use these to make offerings, but mainly so that you can get rid of greed, cultivate faith in the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and cultivate a good thought.

That's what we're trying to do. If you have an irreverent heart and a contemptuous attitude towards the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and make offerings, then you must be at fault. If it's not in a contemptuous manner, that's okay.

In particular, there is a "hum" in front of the simple offering, and through the power of these spells, the offerings can be purified. If there is an obstacle in your heart, don't do it, you can do it without an obstacle.

What is "merit"? The true merit is a pure mind. The Buddha often said:

The most important thing in practice is to purify the mind, to stay away from all delusions, separations, and attachments, and merit will appear. Let's talk about the obvious and specific point, "If you have merit in keeping the precepts, you will be determined to be virtuous", because the precepts can be determined; "Cultivation is meritorious, enlightenment is virtue", merit is the cause of cultivation, and virtue is the result. You have to have real cultivation, real merit.

If you can't take the vows, then the vows are good fortune, and good merit is not merit.

If you still have delusions, separations, and attachments to the vows, and if you see one person breaking the vows and that person breaking the vows, you will destroy your merits. How to keep the vows to have "merit"? It is what Master Huineng said, "If you are a true cultivator, you will not see the world", so you can keep the precepts in this way, otherwise the precepts are all merit, not merit.

Merit can lead to life and death, and to go out of the Three Realms, but merit cannot. Therefore, merit and merit must be clearly distinguished, and there must be no mistakes. And again:

A thought of anger arises, and a million obstacles open", and as the saying goes: "Fire burns the merit forest". "Fire" is a tantrum; When something unsatisfactory happens, as soon as you are unhappy and lose your temper, the merit is over.

Therefore, it is not easy to accumulate merits, and if you lose your temper at the end of your life, all the merits you have cultivated in this lifetime will be finished.

You have to know how much merit you have accumulated, and you have to think about when you have never lost your temper. You see, anger loses your merits, and so does greed and love. In other words, the seven emotions and five desires are joy, anger, sorrow, love, and evil desires, and these seven things destroy your merits.

From this, it can be seen that merit is not easy to cultivate, merit is easy to cultivate, and merit will not be lost; Merit is not easy to cultivate, but it is easy to lose.

Gong refers to good deeds, and virtue refers to good intentions. And the people of the world worship the Buddha and chant the scriptures to give alms.

Offerings, etc., are called merits.

Detailed explanation. 1.Merit and virtue. "The Book of Rites: The Royal System": "Yes.

Those who merit the people will be added to the law. Yuan Zhang Xian's poem "Xianchun Teacher": "Ode to the words of the people.

Merit, the voice of the border army is lonely. "Zhao Puchu's "Golden Wisp Song: *** Death Anniversary Feelings": "Snow insults frost and bullies the fragrance and is strong, and the merit stays in the world for a long time, but the body and the clouds fly endlessly. ”

2.Buddhist. "Mahayana Righteous Chapter: Ten Merit, Virtue and Righteousness and Three Distinctions": "Function is function, can break life and death, can obtain nirvana, can save sentient beings, and the name is meritorious." This merit is its good deeds, so it is cloudy.

Merits and virtues. ”3.It mostly refers to chanting Buddha, chanting sutras, giving alms, etc. "Southern History, Follower Biography, Yu Wish": "Your Majesty started this temple, all the people sell their children and pay for women, if the Buddha knows, he should cry and mourn." Sin high Buddha figure, whatever.

The word of merit is a forest, so it is a lot. ”

There are several important points to pay attention to: First, the location of the tobacco offering is very important. If someone in the family has passed away or there has been a disaster somewhere, making a smoke offering in such an environment is particularly meritorious, and the deceased person will benefit very much, and the unjust creditor will receive a lot of merit, and will be satisfied and blessed.

If you usually do it, you can do it in other clean places on the mountain or in the wilderness, or on your balcony, outdoors, or on the side of the road where it does not affect others. In short, every time you do it, be careful not to affect others, it's not good to cause the troubles of life next to you to come to you to quarrel, pay attention to skillfulness and convenience, but at the same time try to make the cigarette supply as reasonable.

It's best not to understand, religion is superstition, read the Tao Te Ching more.

The sponsor refers to the person who is called giving in Buddhism, and refers to the donor. That is, the donor who offers the three jewels of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, Tan Yue. In Buddhism, those who give away pure wealth are the sponsors, and those who are dedicated to doing business or enthusiastically attracting others to Buddhism so that Buddhism can flourish can also be called sponsors.

Not everyone can become a sponsor, the sponsor first needs to enthusiastically participate in the activities of the mountain and not retreat for many years; Only those who have served with their hearts for many years and have a strong heart can become sponsors. It is not necessary to give more money to the giver than others, but to insist on providing to the benefactor.

A sponsor is a person who is called a giver in Buddhism.

The donor is the one who respects the "Buddha Treasure". These include Buddhist monks and nuns, as well as upasai and upasai (male and female laymen) who believe in Buddhism at all levels, also known as "sponsors".

Merit is not the same as profit, and merit cannot be treated as if it were a property.

The tenth product of the Dizo Bodhisattva Sutra: Compare the merits and merits, this title can also be seen that merit is not the origin and the result of the cause, benefits, money, and things are the results, and it is also said in the tenth product, the original text of the sutra has the words "merit", "benefit", "fruit" and "retribution", if you look carefully, you can clearly understand that merit is not welfare, not fruition, it is good deeds!

It is good deeds such as almsgiving, temple repair, statue building, scripture copying, and life release! The meaning of the title is to consider the welfare and good fortune of the merit that is the cause of the gift.

The meaning of merit is very broad, in the tenth product of this sutra, it is a praise for the act of giving, for example: someone has recovered the lost land, it is called the merit of Zhongxing, the merit is not a reward for official positions, property, etc., merit is similar, merit is not the welfare or good retribution obtained, merit can be related to welfare and good retribution.

In Buddhism, those who give money to purify wealth are the sponsors, and those who are dedicated to doing things or enthusiastically attracting others to Buddhism so that Buddhism can flourish can also be called sponsors.

The sponsor does not have to have more money than other people, as long as he is dedicated to his work or enthusiastic about attracting others to the Buddha's door, he can take the sponsor even if he does not have money.

The sponsor is actually the benefactor. It is also the benefactor and Tanyue who supports the three treasures of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.
