Can I make a wish without praying?

Can you make a wish without praying? People often pray in life. Prayer is very common in people's lives, because for anyone, I hope that prayer can make my life smoother. Let's see if we can make a wish without praying and related information.

Can I make a wish without praying? 1 Yes. The Yellow Calendar is a calendar handed down from the era of the Yellow Emperor to record people's likes and dislikes in daily life, but the exorcism and disaster avoidance mentioned in the Yellow Calendar are aimed at the ancestors' gods, so we avoid praying for blessings. But for this reason, avoiding praying for blessings does not include Buddha, Bodhisattva, Lohan and other Buddha gods.

Because the former is only six sentient beings, it has not been separated from reincarnation, and the latter has already surpassed reincarnation, so the latter will not be affected by the Gregorian calendar. In other words, the taboo of praying in Gregorian calendar has nothing to do with burning incense and worshiping Buddha. Go to the temple to worship Buddha as usual.

What should I pay attention to when praying for Buddha?

A respectful heart and standard incense etiquette are enough. No matter who you incense, you don't need to pay attention to the time or the number of incense sticks, but generally three incense sticks are the standard. As long as you master two points: first, respect and sincerity, the so-called "sincerity is the spirit", and second, you should constantly recite the names of the buddhas and bodhisattvas you worship, so that the bodhisattvas can hear your prayers and show their spirit to protect all beings.

The influence of praying in the yellow calendar

In fact, don't worry too much and be careful. In fact, as long as there is a Buddha in your heart, you can burn incense anytime and anywhere. If we have a clear conscience, it won't have any special influence on our daily life. As long as we obey the rules reasonably and go to the temple to burn incense and pray regularly, the gods in heaven will naturally see our efforts and don't have to worry too much.

If I don't pray, can I make a wish? What if I pray on the day when I don't pray?

It is good to avoid praying on prayer days.

Generally speaking, there is not much time to pay attention to bullying. Whether you pray on a no-blessing day will not affect the content of your blessing. If you want to achieve what you want, you must work hard on your own, and prayer alone is not enough. Even if you are praying for an auspicious day, it is only a psychological comfort to yourself. Therefore, it doesn't matter much if you pray on a no-blessing day, so as long as you pray, it means that you want to be blessed by the gods.

Precautions for blessing entrance

Choosing a door to burn incense and pray is a routine operation in the process of praying. There are many doors in the temple building, so you must pay attention to which door to enter. It is said that only temples with lights are qualified to build thirteen gates. The three doors in the middle are for people to enter and leave. Ordinary tourists can only enter through the right door, and the middle door is called an empty door, and only monks can enter and leave.

When entering the door, the female guest takes the right foot first, and the male guest takes the left foot first. It should be noted that you must not step on the threshold, and the problem that needs attention in this step is that the bigger the step, the more appropriate it is.

Taboos in the process of blessing

In the process of praying, we should pay attention to one problem, that is, after bowing, we can put incense in incense ashes and kowtow at the door. If you kowtow, you should find Buddha, Bodhisattva or Lohan. For example, you can't kowtow to a Tibetan bodhisattva.

If you don't pray, can you make a wish? 3 What is the emphasis on going to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings in the New Year? These taboos should not be offended!

First of all, dress appropriately

Taoist temple is a sacred and solemn meditation place. When burning incense and praying, remember to dress appropriately, with simple and simple colors as the best, so as to make yourself tidy. The "neatness" mentioned here is not how luxurious you want to wear, but clean and tidy, and the clothes are not grandiose, unconventional and dignified. The night before I plan to burn incense in the temple, I need to take a bath to wash away my filth.

Second, don't step on the threshold.

Threshold is of great significance in ancient architecture. At first, the threshold was to prevent the airflow from coming in, and later it became a symbol of the owner's identity and dignity. "Book of Rites" wrote: "Scholar-officials go in and out of the gate and don't practice the threshold." It means that ministers should not step on the threshold when entering the temple, which is disrespectful to the monarch.

There are some mysteries of metaphysics in the threshold of Taoist temple. Taoism believes that the threshold of Taoist temple can stop the pollution of the outside world. Once it crosses the threshold, it can throw away the troubles of the world and accept the blessings of the gods with a pure heart.

Third, worship God and sacrifice.

The offerings of Taoist temples are mainly incense, flowers, lamps, water and fruits. Conditional honesty will also bring tea, food, jewelry, clothes and so on. , or exactly the same, or three or five kinds. Singular means the sun is rising, and even means yes. Of course, considering different customs, it is best to consult the Taoist priest of the Taoist temple you are going to.

Fourth, burning incense requires reason.

The significance of burning incense lies in praying for blessings and eliminating disasters, and it is also an important way to accumulate yin virtue and make good relationships. Taoist incense is generally three sticks, representing the three treasures of Taoism, classics and teachers, as well as the three talents of heaven and earth. When lighting incense, never blow it out with your mouth. If the fire doesn't go out, you can shake it out by hand.

In recent years, many believers are superstitious about putting incense on their heads. It is unwise and disrespectful to make the whole incense burner stagger in order to grab incense.

The so-called "incense on the head" is the first incense on the first day of each year and the first incense on the head every morning (five o'clock in the morning). When the temple gate is opened, it is also the first incense on the head, not the first incense in every temple. Because the incense and the head incense are not what the gods we worship want to see. I hope devout believers can correct their disrespect.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) fasting

This article is the most confusing for many people. Do I need to fast when I go to the temple to burn incense and pray?

In fact, as a believer at home, it is best to fast or eat vegetarian food, but when you can't do it because of interpersonal relationships, you can drink clean water and simply rinse your mouth before entering the temple, and remind yourself to bathe your body and mind when fasting.

Six, kowtow and worship

In the Taoist temple, we kowtow to the Buddha and pay more attention to three kneels and nine knocks. This is our most sincere and sincere way to worship the Buddha. Stand in front of the mat, pay tribute to the jade statue of Jin Rong, then clench your fist, kowtow and pray silently. If you are not familiar with this kind of etiquette, you can consult the Taoist priests or voluntary laymen in the duty hall and ask them to teach on the spot. It works best.

Seven, don't make a wish at will.

When we burn incense and pray, we all make a wish with a sincere heart, hoping that we can have good luck in the new year, grow old with our loved ones and get excellent results in future exams ... These wishes are also people's yearning and pursuit for future life. However, some wishes cannot be made casually, which will not only have no effect, but also hurt good news, such as the desire to hurt others, the desire to make a deal with the gods, the desire to get something for nothing, and so on.

Eight, five light and five heavy

Walk gently.

The lightness here is a kind of stability, a kind of stability, which is convenient for us to pray better. Just like the elegant and detached manners of Taoist priests, it can gradually guide all beings to put an end to frivolous, procrastination and slowness. Walking lightly is not only self-cultivation, but also solemn.

Speak softly.

Speaking softly is not only a respect for others, but also a respect and protection for the Dojo. When entering the Taoist temple, it is not advisable to talk loudly, gossip, quarrel and abuse.

Doing things lightly.

Doing things in temples should be brisk, not reckless and lacking in humility, but restrained, purified, rigorous and meticulous.

Be gentle with yourself.

In the temple, you should lower yourself, surrender to your heart, don't be arrogant, and bring the society's pursuit of fame and profit and competitiveness into the Taoist temple.

Go into battle lightly.

In the process of praying to God, it is very important to learn to alleviate the troubles, so as to "look at Qian Qian's kindness instead of his anger". The lighter the troubles, the deeper the wisdom, the lighter the troubles and the heavier the blessings.
