13 What does the bead stand for?

13 What does the bead stand for? Wearing beads is mainly to cultivate happiness, as long as it can bring good luck. Material, age, price, etc. It has nothing to do with this.

First of all, the number of beads has three situations:

1, generally speaking, chanting Buddha is calculated as an integer multiple of 7, 49, 108. Therefore, the number of beads is 7, 49 or 108, which is more in line with the specifications;

2. Set the number of trees suitable for wearing on the hand, which is convenient for carrying and wearing;

3. The number of randomly determined trees is unorganized.

13 beads can be counted from the mother bead, with the end of the mother bead as the calculation unit, thus reading 14 sentences, twice as much as 7. So it can also be said that it meets the specifications.

Second, bead opening: 1, please go directly to the temple to open beads; 2. Invite the beads yourself, and then go to the temple to ask the master to open the light. The opening ceremony is mainly to promote Buddhism and widely publicize the merits of all buddhas and bodhisattvas.

Beads can be opened or not. Unspread beads can also be used directly.

Third, in fact, the value of beads lies not in collection, but in use. If used properly, beads made of any material are priceless.

Beads, also called rosary beads, are used for chanting and counting, as long as they are diligent in chanting. As long as they can finish their daily homework, it doesn't matter what materials, the number of trees, the price, the style and how to wear them.

4. Homework means that the yogi sets a certain number for himself as a task that must be completed every day, so as to make himself diligent in chanting Buddha, for example, chanting "Amitabha Nanwu" 30,000 times a day, which requires using a rosary or a counter to count the number of chanting Buddha and whether the task is completed. This is to facilitate persistence and habit formation, which is a good exercise.

Typical articles are: A Girl's Invisible Wings and Collection of Inductive Sharing and Marriage Theories and Methods.

Come and have a look. The original is ancient Chinese, but there is a translation of modern Chinese on the Internet. You can find a translation.

Huang Yuan, a famous all-rounder in Ming Dynasty, is the author of Self-determination. History books say that there was never a shortage of talents in the Ming Dynasty, but an all-rounder like Huang Yuan was rare. His creation covers all walks of life and all aspects. No matter what kind of study, as long as he wants to learn, he can learn well and master it well. He summed up his successful experience in four points and wrote a book. The name of Huang Yuan's law is "law", so "life and self" is also called "four disciplines of law".
