Benevolence is auspicious! May these solve your doubts:

2-4. There is no difference between Buddha and Buddha, Bodhisattvas cross sentient beings with compassion, just as our compassion arises, and any sutra is recited in front of any Buddha and Bodhisattva statue, it is the same;

Amitabha!

Orthodox Buddhism, the Bodhisattvas in Buddhism, can be worshiped at home!

Some people say that it is not appropriate to worship Jizo King Bodhisattva at home, but this statement is wrong!

Just look at the "Jizo Sutra", respectfully worship and worship and chant, the king of Jizo Bodhisattva, get 28 kinds of benefits [actually immeasurable benefits].

Before we ask for these offerings, we should not say "buy", but say "please", like asking for incense, lamps, fruits, etc., to show respect for the gods and Buddhas.

The first step of the offering must be to offer incense, and a pillar of incense is used as a way to convey information to the heavens and to the netherworld.

The second step is that when offering to the gods and Buddhas, we can also offer lamps and candles, which symbolize light and can be auspicious and avoid evil.

The five elements of the ever-bright lamp belong to fire, which can increase the yang energy in the house. If you don't have time to make incense, you can also use a lamp instead of offering incense.

The flowers are exquisite.

In addition, the flowers offered in front of the Buddha and the flowers of the four seasons are allowed, but the moon season and peach blossoms cannot be invited.

Because the thorns of the moon season are considered ominous, and the peach blossom symbolizes the marriage between a man and a woman, it is impure and represents the source of suffering, so it cannot be used to make offerings to the Buddha.

The water supply should be clean.

According to common sense, the water invited is generally well spring water, which the ancients believed was relatively clean and undefiled.

With the development of modern times, spring water is difficult to take, river water is polluted, and well water is even less common.

Offering round fruits.

"Circle" has the meaning of consummation and reunion.

From ancient times to the present, people have a preference for round things, and when offering fruits, we can choose round ones.

At the same time, pears should not be used as offerings, because pears have the meaning of separation. The offering of fruits represents a good cause and a good fruit, and you can choose some auspicious, local healthy fruits.

At the same time, some unclean, rotten food must not be offered to the gods and Buddhas.

Should the fruit be thrown away or eaten?

Some friends will wonder whether it is better to eat the fruit or throw it away.

In fact, the offerings taken at the time of withdrawal can be eaten and can be kept to eat, which is a good meaning, symbolizing the fruits rewarded by the gods and Buddhas, which can eliminate disasters and avoid difficulties, and be auspicious.

Offerings that cannot be eaten can be thrown into the river or buried in clean soil, and they can also be blessed.

In fact, the most important thing is the mind, we can choose the type of offering according to our own economic ability, do not be too extravagant and wasteful.

When you don't have money, as long as you make a sincere offering, even a bowl of white water can inspire the gods.

Even if a rich person makes an offering with false affection, no matter how good the fruit is, it will not help.

Amitabha! Don't be superstitious when learning Buddhism, and the fruit offered to the Buddha and Bodhisattva also needs the permission of the people in the dojo to eatQuestion: Can eating the food and fruits offered to the Buddha and Bodhisattva make my body always healthy, my appearance always upright, and everything is always as I wish?

You will know that this has nothing to do with health, with good looks, and with the good luck of everything, and it has nothing to do with it.

If you study Buddhism in this way, you will be superstitious. If you want to be healthy, the Buddha said that you should practice fearless generosity, you must look good, you have a good heart, why? Turn around with your heart.

If you have a good heart, you will be good, and if you have a good heart, you will look good, and you will turn with your heart. Not only does your body change with your heart, but your physical fitness also changes with your heart, and even your physical health also changes with your thoughts.

The offering is made to the Buddha and Bodhisattva, and represents the great wish of the donor. We should not take it lightly. If you want to use it, first say:

Please xx Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, give me xx offerings to eat. Thus speaking, there is no sin. Otherwise, it is a great sin to steal Buddha offerings.

It's the same as regular food, but local customs will tell you that there are many benefits.

I ate it without wasting it, and it increased my blessings.

1. Placement: The statue of the Buddha and Bodhisattva is also a convenient way to increase our faith and confidence at home. However, if you put it at home, remember that in order to maintain respect and respect for the Buddha and Bodhisattva, there are three places that are not allowed, one is the bedroom (there is love between men and women), the kitchen (there is oil smoke and dirt), and the toilet (stinky and filthy), so the best place is the living room and study, and there are also people who put it in the entrance and other places, all of which are okay.

2. Offerings. The offerings to be prepared are commonly known as the ten offerings, that is, the offerings to the Buddha with ten items such as incense, flowers, lamps, water, fruits, tea, food, treasures, beads, and clothes, all of which have certain metaphors, such as incense, like cong digging to abstain from incense; Flowers, symbolizing beauty; lamp, which symbolizes light; Water, a symbol of purity; fruit, symbolizing the Buddha fruit; Tea, a symbol of sobriety; food, symbolizing fullness; Bao, a symbol of wealth; beads, symbolizing hope; Clothing, symbolic shelter, etc., all have their own meanings. As for the fruit, just choose it yourself, and the sayings that you can't use pears (meaning "leave") and durian (bad smell) are folk superstitions that don't need to be ignored.

3. Offering table placement:

1. Place the incense case, the statue of the god Buddha and Bodhisattva is in the center (if the deceased has a photo, put it in front of the statue of the Buddha and Bodhisattva, and raise the statue of the Buddha and Bodhisattva, which is a head higher than the statue), and put five offerings in front of it (1 incense burner is in the center, and three incense sticks are inserted; 2 vases on the left and right, three or five flowers arranged, odd number is appropriate; A pair of candlesticks on the left and right, with red candles. Collectively known as the "five offerings") attack type.

2. Five grains (five colors of grains, such as rice, black beans, mung beans, soybeans, peanuts, etc.), five fruits (five colored fruits such as apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, pears, etc.), three cups of tea, etc., remember not to put meat, otherwise it will damage the blessing of Zheng Chai God Buddha (because becoming a god will "not eat the fireworks in the world"), and also damage your own good fortune.

4. How to make offerings:

Three sticks of incense or one stick of incense in the morning and evening, kowtow three heads, and call it "Nan Wu Master Shakyamuni Buddha".
