Is a statue of a Buddha made of pure gold better than a statue of a bodhisattva?

The Lotus Sutra says, "The Buddhas are golden, and the blessings are solemn." It is very good to make a Buddha statue out of gold. The merit of making a statue of a Buddha or a statue of a bodhisattva is the same.

Practicing the precepts and preaching the Dharma is also immeasurably meritorious. Some bodhisattvas are also Buddhas, such as Avalokiteshvara and Jizo Bodhisattva, who have already met the conditions for becoming Buddhas. But in order to save sentient beings and get happiness from suffering, there is no advanced Buddhahood.

There is no merit in making a Buddha statue in order to gain merit. Thousands of years ago, the dialogue between Patriarch Bodhidharma and Emperor Wu of Liang about merit has been circulated for a long time.

Pure gold Buddha statues can be made, and in ancient times, there were such examples, when there were pure gold Buddha statues! There are two kinds of pure gold Buddha statues, one is a solid Buddha statue, and the other is a hollow Buddha statue, but the mold of the two Buddha statues is different, and there are many kinds of molds for making Buddha statues, so it depends on what Buddha is doing? For example, the Buddha of Nyorai, the Buddha of Miro.

It can be made, but the general temple will not cast the pure gold Buddha, the first pure gold Buddha cost is too high, the temple has to measure the cost even if it has money, the second is too ostentatious, the value of the pure gold Buddha statue is too high, some thieves will covet the theft, to the temple to bring insecurity factors, so the general Buddha is only gilded at most.

According to the current level of technology, there is no problem in building a pure gold Buddha statue, and it is still possible to build a small one for collection. The Buddha statues in the general temple are only gilded at most, and the pure gold Buddha statue has a high cost and does not conform to the Buddhist ideology, and the pure gold Buddha statue will be targeted by some thieves, bringing danger to the property and personnel of the temple.

It can be made. Baolin Temple in Shunde, Foshan, Guangdong, there is a pure gold statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Of course, it is possible, mold opening, gold melting, pouring, and polishing are OK, but pure **manufacturing** is too expensive, generally gold-plated after brass casting, **much cheaper, or clay gold plating.

It can be made, but it requires molds and **.

Pure gold Buddha statues can be made, the plasticity of gold is very good, the specific gravity, anything can be made, you can use the pouring method, you can also sculpt, you can also stamp, there are many ways.

Of course, pure gold jewelry can be made, pure gold Buddha statues can also be, but making Buddha statues is not a general thing, it is very particular and very saying, there is no guidance from the masters, do not blindly start work, and now there are really few people who can make Buddha statues, no one will do things for Buddha statues, otherwise it is not spiritual, and even will be back!

Pure gold Buddha statues can be made completely, and now people's imitation technology has reached an advanced level.

Someone asked this question today, if it was before, someone in feudal society might have used real gold to plate, but now ,,, shouldn't have it! The big Buddha on the top of Emei is golden, and what kind of material is plated on the surface? What about corrosion resistance?

In feudal society, all-gold Buddha statues are also rare.

The golden Buddha is often referred to as the "golden and bronze Buddha statue".

The gold and bronze Buddha statue is one of the mainstream of ancient Buddha statues, popularly speaking, that is, the hollow Buddha statue with copper as the main body and gilded on the surface.

The same is true of the Buddha statues offered by the royal family in the past dynasties, if someone casts a solid Buddha statue in pure gold and thinks that it is not pious, it is likely that he has fallen into the ...... of demons

Buddha statues are the Dharma objects of Buddhism, and the core purpose is to spread the teachings and promote Buddhism.

Many ancient and well-known temples are made of clay and wood, which is ultimately a pile of mud and rotten wood.

The meaning of the Buddha statue is there, and it has nothing to do with the material.

There is a saying: I am in phase. Perhaps the Buddha is in the heart of the prodigal son, on paper stained with leftovers in a garbage can, or ......in a quiet teapotTo have to restore the Buddha to the world strictly and strictly is a kind of obsession.

It can be manufactured, knowing that you have enough pure gold, first design the mold, and it is very simple to make.

OK! But not too big. Too big, heavy weight, high cost. Generally cast very small, or large size gilded.

You have to look specifically at the tonnage and size of the Buddha statue, because the pure gold texture is relatively soft, generally speaking, it is okay to make a relatively small Buddha statue, if you make a large Buddha statue is not easy to maintain his stability, and then a large amount of pure gold to make a Buddha statue is also a waste, don't you find that the large Buddha statues in those temples are generally gilded, and whether you want to worship the Buddha is not measured by how much ** you use to build Buddha statues, the key is how deep you are in your heart and how you usually perform.

Amitabha! Hello! "Diamond Sutra" cloud:

All appearances are vain. If you see what you don't see, you see what you see. "That's right.

But there is great merit in attaching gold to the Buddha statue, and it is also a great blessing. "The Three Worlds Cause and Effect Sutra" cloud: "Why is it the reason to be an official in this life, and the ** pretending to be a Buddha in the previous life."

To put it bluntly, all officials, no matter how big or small, are touched by the light of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and in this life they enjoy the wisdom and virtue of respectful worship by all beings from generation to generation. Therefore, whether it is merit or not, can be imagined. There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south!

The Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra has a lecture and it is recommended to read it.

It is said in the Jizo Sutra.

The image of the Buddha and the Bodhisattva, the merit is indeed great, which can be found in the Buddhist scriptures, but our descendants misunderstood, thinking that the Buddha statue is to use gold, silver and bronze to make a Buddha statue, resulting in the Buddha statue temple all over the place now, if you want to make the Buddha statue and the same great merit and benefits as the Buddhist scriptures, then you have to go to the hearts of all living beings to create, and the Buddha in the hearts of all living beings means that they are moving towards the path of enlightenment, which is the real Buddha statue that the Buddhist scriptures say!

He asked, 'If you don't see sex, do you become a Buddha by reciting the Buddha's sutras, giving alms, taking precepts, and making great progress, and promoting welfare?' ’

He replied, 'No. And he asked

Why not? He replied: "There is a small method to obtain, there is a way to do it, it is cause and effect, it is retribution, it is the law of reincarnation, it is inevitable to live and die, when will you become a Buddha?"

To become a Buddha, you must see nature. If you don't see sex, cause and effect, etc., it is an external way. If you are a Buddha, you don't practice the Outer Path.

The Buddha is an unemployed person, without cause and effect, but there are few ways to obtain, and it is all slander against the Buddha, how can it be achieved? But if there is one mind, one ability, one understanding, and one seeing, the Buddha is not allowed. The Buddha has no offenses, and his mind is empty, and it is not pure.

There is no cultivation and no certificate, no cause and no effect. The Buddha does not keep the precepts, the Buddha does not cultivate goodness, the Buddha does not create evil, the Buddha does not improve, the Buddha does not slacken, and the Buddha is a non-human being. But if you have a dwelling mind and seeing, the Buddha is not allowed.

A Buddha is not a Buddha, don't be a Buddha. If you don't see this righteousness, all times, all places, are not the original mind. If you don't see sex, you will be a sinner, a fool, and you will be in the air. Faint as an intoxicating man, he does not distinguish between likes and dislikes.

If there is no way to do it, you must first see the nature, and then you must worry about it. If you don't see sex to become a Buddha, there is no use. Some people have no cause and effect, blaze with bad karma, talk falsely, and do evil without fault; In this way, there will be no end to the darkness and hell that will never come out.

If it is Homo sapiens, it should not be interpreted as such. ’

This is what Bodhidharma bloodline says, if you don't see sex, everything you do is a blessing from heaven, like an arrow shooting into the sky, and the momentum will fall. The so-called seeing nature, that is, the mind is the Buddha. The heart is the same. Creating bodhisattvas and Buddhas benefits sentient beings. For oneself, one should do nothing and do charity.

Painted Buddha statues, Baifu solemn appearance, self-made if people, have become Buddha. Even children's plays, such as plants and pens, or fingers and claws, and painting Buddha statues, such as people, gradually accumulate merit, have full compassion, and have become Buddhas. --Myoho-renge-kyo

Since the donor believes in my Buddha, how can he choose to build a Bodhisattva statue and a Buddha statue from the perspective of interests, such a utilitarian idea to build a statue, there will be no public moral benefits!

[Is the Buddha statue in the Potala Palace pure gold? ] The various Buddha carvings in the Red Palace are all made of pure gold, and there are countless pearls and gems inlaid on them.

Yes, but it is made by flowing gold and gilding process.

Gilding is to synthesize gold and mercury into gold amalgamation, apply it to the surface of copper, and then heat it to evaporate the mercury, and the gold is attached to the surface of the vessel. The record of gold amalgam was first found in the "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed" by the Eastern Han alchemist Wei Boyang. The earliest record of gilding technology was seen in the Liang Dynasty.

Gilding is a traditional, special process, in the modern gilding process has not yet been born, gilding and gilding is the same meaning, it is a very thin gold foil wrapping on the surface of the utensils, play a protective and decorative role.

Building temples and building Buddha statues is to add bricks and tiles to the Buddha gate, increase the dojo of practice, and make great merits. People with good merit and temple statues will have a smooth family and good luck. It is to burn oneself and illuminate others. Kudos, kudos.

There is no merit or benefit at all! If there is really merit and benefit, then every maker will not become the father and mother of the Buddha! Don't be superstitious, just do a good job, according to whether the craftsmanship is good or not, the real money is the real merit and benefit!
