Do feng shui items need lighting?

There are three kinds of enlightenment: Buddhist enlightenment, Taoist enlightenment and folk enlightenment (generally combining Buddhism and Taoism). No matter which form of opening the light, it is a ceremony to attract spirituality and immortality to help the treasure seeker. Turning on the light is like lighting a candle for an object. Doing good deeds and practicing merits will make candles brighter and lead to spirituality and immortality in the dark.

First: any ceremony in Buddhism has certain expressive significance, and opening the light is no exception.

Buddhism believes that all living beings are polluted by ignorance and dirt from the beginning, so we need to develop our inner wisdom. Opening the light means practicing the certificate to reach the person corresponding to the Buddha's heart, praying for the arrival of all buddhas and bodhisattvas, so as to confirm their corresponding images and inject special connotations, that is, the Buddha's great compassion and great wisdom, with five eyes and six eyes. Only by practicing Buddhism can we invite a truly practicing Buddhist protector to protect the Buddha statue and Buddhism, and bless believers or practitioners to open up their wisdom and practice their body and mind. In the eyes of all beings in the world, the Buddha statue is an object and an image. However, in the eyes of all sentient beings in the legal world, the Buddha statue of Kaiguang is a living Buddha and bodhisattva, so it can play a miraculous role in exorcising evil spirits, eliminating disasters, eliminating diseases, and seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, and its value cannot be measured by money. Everything can be blessed except the Buddha statue. Once an ordinary object is illuminated, it carries the holographic information of Buddha and Bodhisattva, and can also play a magical role in helping transportation, preventing evil spirits, eliminating disasters, eliminating diseases, and seeking good fortune and avoiding evil.

Second: the official opening of the light comes from Taoism, and the opening of the light is one of the Taoist rituals. Opening the light is to inject the invisible and magical true spirit into the idol, and the idol also has the spirituality of boundless magic. Therefore, opening the light is an essential ceremony after offering sacrifices to the gods. Buddhism does not open the light originally, but there is a ceremony to pray for Buddha statues, which is similar to opening the light. Up to now, it's called opening the light. However, the way the Taoist gods open the light is to be carried out by the master of Gao Gong on an auspicious day. The ceremony includes twelve instruments, such as cleaning, inviting gods, issuing orders, seven stars, gossip, ecstasy, pressing a pen, pressing a mirror, pressing a chicken, opening the light, and shaking your hair, so that you can ask respectfully. Different from other religions, Taoist gods have a ritual of entering the gods, the purpose of which is to have gods resident. Third, folk lighting is more popular, because most people invite Buddha, God and Feng Shui objects for themselves, not for practicing Buddhism and monasticism. If a person invites idols for practice and monasticism, it is better to strictly follow the above two methods. However, in order to seek wealth, peace, promotion and study, it is best to invite folk yin and yang teachers (of course, not those so-called unskilled masters) to light lamps.
