Why do I feel so scared when I go to the temple and see the Buddha statues of the four great kings?
The four heavenly kings are not Buddhas; Belong to the category of legal protection; Demon reduction and elimination; So the face is fierce; Step on ghosts; But the heart is compassionate. Show an angry image; I'm not afraid to know the essence. Buddha, the protector of Tibetan secrets, is basically angry; Look more; Long time; I know each other; Say hello when we meet again. Ha ha. Get rid of superstition and show the enlightenment of Buddhist facilities: 1 All facilities in Buddhism are teaching tools, expressing methods and inspiring self-nature, which is remarkable. Membership is a form, not a table method; The important thing is the law. If you don't know the law, you will fill it in for nothing. Perfusion is the blessing of compassion, and the top is the Buddha's top. Teaching you the supreme Buddhism in Buddhism is called indoctrination. The Buddha used lotus flowers to represent Buddhism, compared sludge to six mortal worlds, and the clear water on it to the four sacred dharma realms. Lotus is blooming on it, and he put down all the four saints and six sects and gave up. This is really clean. If you give up all the four saints and six sects, you are lotus metaplasia. Our practice is also called Lianzong, and Elysium is also called Lotus World. Lotus is a flower and fruit, and it is very appropriate to use it as a metaphor for Jing Zong's chanting and becoming a Buddha. Falun was originally used to express Buddhism. Falun is an incredible symbol, which truly represents the connotation of Buddhism. The periphery of the wheel is moving, but its heart is not moving. It can represent all emptiness, sex and movement in Buddhism. "Wheel" represents the truth of cosmic life that Sakyamuni Buddha said all his life, so it is used to express the law. The principle of keeping in good health in Buddhism is that the body should move and the heart should be quiet. The body is a machine. If the machine wants to run, it must move. The circumference of the wheel is moving, and so is our body; There is right and wrong in the heart, and the heart should not only be quiet, but also empty. There is nothing in my heart. Such people decide to live a long life, and such people decide not to get sick. Hand knotting, palm folding and palm releasing are all table methods. When the hands are crossed, they represent the heart, and when they are open, they represent the dharma realm. Among Buddhists, preaching is a Buddhist thing. We light candles instead of electric lights. Why? Candles can clearly show the law. Candles represent burning yourself, shining others and giving up yourself for others. 9. What does the incense mean? Incense means believing in incense, and I firmly believe in the teachings of Buddha and Bodhisattva. It also shows that abstinence is really fragrant, abstinence is really dry, and it really follows teaching. 10 The most important thing in the offerings before the Buddha statue is water supply. It doesn't matter if you don't burn incense or light a lamp. Be sure to provide a glass of water. Water meter What? Express the heart, the heart should be as clean as water and as equal as water. 1 1 offer flowers to remind yourself to repair the cause; Offering fruit is to remind yourself of good fruit. So don't think that kowtowing a few heads, lighting a few incense sticks and offering fragrant flowers and fruits in front of Buddha and Bodhisattva is the blessing of Buddha's strength. That's superstition, there is no such thing! 12 secular people wear jewelry to show off their identity and wealth; People who study Buddhism wear jewelry to remind themselves that their hearts should be clean and spotless, unchangeable and unchangeable. The "ten trillion" mentioned in the Amitabha Sutra is not a number, but a notation. Ten trillion is white, just as nature is white. 14 in Buddhist scriptures, numbers all mean counting. For example, in the Amitabha Sutra, we often use "seven", such as the seven-fold tree, the seven-fold net and the seven-treasure pool. Seven represents perfection, and seven represents east, south, west, north, upper, lower and middle. Take this idea. 15 When you enter the Buddha, the first thing you see is Maitreya Buddha. Maitreya Bodhisattva specially shaped the image of a monk in a cloth bag, with a big belly representing capacity and tolerance. Maitreya Bodhisattva stands for "all one's life is equal to one heart and one joy", treating others with joy, and all right, wrong, good and evil can be tolerated. 16 Four Heavenly Kings: The representatives of the Eastern Heavenly Kings perform their duties and morality; Nanwang represents diligence and innovation; Representatives of western kings are more common; The representative of Beiwang has heard too much. This is Tianwang Temple. I will teach you the first lesson as soon as you enter Buddhism! 17 Buddhism and Bodhisattva are provided for teaching in the temple; This kind of teaching is not only the basis of learning Buddhism, but also the basis of being a man. Is it a gift to kowtow when you see the Buddha statue? You knock 10,000 heads on the clay sculpture and wood carving Buddha statue, and it doesn't know! 18 Buddha statues are expressive, which means that when you see them, you know that everyone is a Buddha except yourself. Buddha is consciousness, and consciousness has all merits and demerits. When we saw the Buddha statue in action, we knew it immediately. We should be aware of it and ask for it! There may be many reasons, but there is always a saying called "yet I feel the harmonious heart-beat of the Sacred Unicorn". If you really want to get close to the Buddha, but there are obstacles at present, I suggest starting with reading "Amitabha". There are many obstacles, but as long as you can read, it's easy. You can read aloud in private first, then turn to meditation. When you read, you can visualize a golden Buddha statue with infinite compassion. Stick to it for two weeks to a month, and the effect will be remarkable. Buddha said, incredible, that is, we ordinary people can't even think of it. Amitafu!
