What's on the altar of Tibetan Buddhism?
I have a tantric tradition. My inheritance basically taught us how to decorate the Tantric altar. He said: "The Tantric altar is best in a quiet little room, and it is best to find a place to hide the wind and gather gas. The so-called place where the wind gathers gas is to have two walls as sand hands. There should be no windows and doors on one side of the altar, and the wall should be strong, without holes or holes. Of course, the Buddha statues in the secret altar are mainly based on their own gods. For example, if you practice the Guanyin method, you can regard Guanyin Bodhisattva as the main god of the secret altar. If you practice the Lotus Watson Method, you can regard the Buddha as the main statue. Buddha statues can be carved with wood, clay, gold and copper. If they are made of paper, they can also be used. It is also good to use the charts of Buddha and Bodhisattva. The worship of some secret altars is slightly different: some people worship incantations (mantra wheels), which are called "Fammandala". Some people provide handprints and magic weapons, which are called samada mandala. Some people worship the second Buddha statue or King Kong statue, which is called "Karma Datura". Some people worship Buddha and Bodhisattva, all of which are pictures of the King Kong Sea. This is the so-called "Big Datura". Personally, I think that in terms of worship, I mainly practice my own dharma, and the porcelain paintings I inherited from the guru can be worshipped on the right. On the left, you can worship the second King Kong protector, just three. The number of buddhas and bodhisattvas to worship is relatively good, one, three, five and seven. Classics can be placed on the right side of the altar, and towers can be placed on the left. As for offerings, there are five offerings and eight offerings. These five offerings are flowers, incense, lamps, tea and fruits. Eight bowls or cups are used to show the front of the Buddha statue, from right to left. The first bowl contains conch, the second bowl contains fruit, the third bowl contains powder, the fourth bowl contains candles, the fifth bowl contains three pieces of sandalwood, and the sixth bowl contains five white flowers. According to the Red Sect, there are five red flowers (both real flowers and plastic flowers). Eight can be used in one row or two rows and two rows. The first row is buddhas and bodhisattvas, and the last row is observing changes. Flowers, altar incense and conch are not properly placed. Rice can be put under the bowl. The offerings that must be changed every day are fruit, water skiing, clean water or boiled water. Other products can be changed according to your needs. There are incense burners and sandalwood burners in front of Bagong Temple, with lights on both sides. This is the general situation of the secret altar. The tantric guru explained the significance of these eight kinds of support. Two waters represent the water of merit, flowers represent charity, incense represents abstinence, lamps represent humiliation, the last fragrance represents diligence, fruit represents meditation, conch represents wishful thinking, and incense represents wisdom. When offering sacrifices, the most important thing is to visualize, turn a row of sacrifices into one side and then into a mountain, which is full of ten sides of the universe. Its praise is: the four continents of Xumishan, the sun and the moon, turn treasures into buddhas, all kinds of solemn merits, and wish all beings to prove Bodhi. After meditation, chanting and blessing: hum. ..... As far as I know, if a person wants to be rich in the afterlife, he will be rich in the afterlife as long as he can install a secret altar, know how to visualize and support, and read the "support curse". This is the cause and effect of the Eight Sacrifices, because as long as he has support, he must be rich. Someone asked me, besides these eight offerings, what else do I need to provide? This varies from region to region. In the past, esoteric religion also offered milk, cheese, raw crisp, cooked crisp, soaking, honey and so on. If we want to show special respect, we can provide honey, milk, cakes, sweets and so on. Sometimes you can offer your own satisfactory treasures, not only food, but even your own satisfactory jewelry. The tantric guru attached great importance to the spiritual support and devoted all his spiritual time to the Buddha and Bodhisattva, which was the most precious support. The tantric guru dedicated his life to all sentient beings, sacrificed himself for pleasure, endured humiliation and burden, made all sentient beings feel comfortable physically and mentally, removed all sentient beings' distress and karma, freed all sentient beings in the world, and quickly proved the results of Buddhism and Bodhisattva. This is the most extraordinary life support and the biggest heart supply. It is the most extraordinary Dharma of Tantric Buddhism that those who practice the method of offering support have made such great achievements. " Siddhartha Gautama in Tibetan style cannot be said to be Sakyamuni Buddha in Tantric Buddhism. "What is the basis of this statement? Both Tibetan Buddhism and the most important secret law in Tibetan Buddhism are one of the Buddhist teachings. If tantric Buddhism is not Buddhism, then this person simply doesn't understand the relationship between Tibetan Buddhism and tantric Buddhism. The four schools of Tibetan Buddhism, namely, Red (Nyingmaba), Yellow (Gelug), White (Kagyu) and Flower (Sakya), all advocate Buddhism.
