Do students of Buddhism have to make offerings to their masters?

Not necessarily. To learn the essence of Buddhism is to learn to be a human being, to learn to perceive, and to learn to repent. Buddhism is a philosophy that teaches the truth of the universe of life. Studying Buddhism is not just about praying for blessings, praying for wealth from priests, praying for children and grandchildren, and praying for things outside the body.

Not necessarily, voluntary, this famous teacher must be of a high enough level and knowledgeable enough, otherwise it will be useless to make offerings, and there is no difference between him and ordinary people.

Not necessarily, as long as you are dedicated to the Buddha and have the Buddha in your heart, you have the ability to raise it, and if you don't have the ability, you can't raise it.

Offerings are made according to one's ability, and the best offering is to practice as a teaching. Your diligence is an offering to the master. There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south!

To study Buddhism is to learn the actions and thoughts of the Buddha from the heart, so as to become enlightened.

If you do good deeds for the sake of doing good, and if you make offerings for the sake of making offerings, you will put the cart before the horse and fall into "asking", so as for offering to the master, it is good to follow the fate together.

Offering is to help you cultivate almsgiving, and poverty is due to the lack of almsgiving.

Treat the teacher as a Buddha. Do what you can to make offerings in the Dharma.

Offering is planting a blessed field.

It's okay if you think you're blessed and don't have to be blessed. The problem is that having such thoughts shows that you are stingy.

According to one's own motivation and ability. There are no mandatory provisions. Nor is the form of offering limited to possessions. As long as it can provide financial support for the monks' practice and the propagation of the Dharma and the benefit of sentient beings, it is an offering. If it is used for non-spiritual purposes and non-Dharma propagation and benefiting sentient beings, it is not considered an offering.

: Offering is a historical tradition. In the past, offerings to temples were mainly made by donations from wealthy households. Personally, depending on the situation, if there are conditions, support it, and if there are no conditions, there is no need to force it. He became a monk, mainly cultivating in the Qing Dynasty, and had more contact with money.

There was no intention of tearing it off, but swallowing all the blood gushing out of the wound into his stomach. Lin Fan felt that it was nothing, after all, Lin Xi was eager to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, and his hatred was great. However, before he and Lin Xi rolled down together, he suddenly found that Tuan Cuo was mourning Su.

Make offerings to your own guru. There are three types of offerings to the Guru:

1) Financial offerings: Always use your beloved things to support your teacher, and if you are able, you can also make financial offerings, but only if it does not affect family life.

2) Body, Mouth, and Mind Offerings: Offering all of your body, mouth, and mind to the Guru. I walk as a guru, and my mouth is the guru, which means what the guru thinks.

3) Dharma offerings: After receiving the empowerment, practice the Dharma diligently, making offerings to the Guru with tangible results and benefits to sentient beings.

Among the above three types of offerings, the Dharma offering is the upper grade, the body, mouth and mind offering is the middle grade, and the financial offering is the lower grade.

Commitment: Strive to do well the things assigned by the teacher, take care of the teacher's life, take care of the teacher's daily life, etc., and spare no effort to do it.

1. Do not slander: Do not slander the guru's body, mouth, mind, and everything in his mandala, otherwise it will damage or even destroy the samaya vows.

2. Don't despise it: You should think of the Guru as a Buddha, and don't think about it because you see the Guru eating, drinking, sleeping and even showing joy, anger and sorrow like mortals. This kind of contemptuous thinking is extremely harmful, and it can damage or even destroy the samaya vows, lose the opportunity to receive the blessings of the guru, and cut off one's good roots.

3. Don't get in the way of the teacher: Don't do things for your own benefit that hinder the teacher's cause of propagating the Dharma and benefiting people, let alone let the teacher worry about these things, otherwise your merits will be greatly damaged, or you will suffer from illness and die early in this life. If you don't repent, you will go to Vajra Hell after death.
