When do you usually choose to turn on the light?

Generally speaking, auspicious days of the zodiac, major Buddhist festivals or the first and fifteenth days of the first lunar month are the choices for the opening ceremony.

1. Generally, the auspicious day of the ecliptic is chosen for the opening ceremony, and then the mascot is opened on the opening day, which can enhance the spirituality of the mascot. A good day suitable for opening the light is the best time to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, so that the mascot that opens the light is the best and most protective.

2. You can also choose to open the light in major Buddhist festivals. For example, the magic of Jizhaotang can be opened on some major festivals such as Buddha's Birthday, which can attract wealth and ward off evil spirits, and the effect is better.

3. You can choose the first day and the fifteenth day. Opening these two days can make the mascot absorb the essence of the sun and the moon to the maximum extent, and the gas field is the strongest. For example, the Buddha in Jizhaotang generally chooses to open in these two days, so the Buddha reputation in Jizhaotang is very good.

Turn on the light to introduce

Opening the light is a Buddhist term, and Sakyamuni Buddha said in "All Tathagata is Samadhi Ritual Sutra": "If you are a Buddha statue, your eyes will be bright and your eyes will be similar, so you can read the truth twice." "Opening the light" in Fifty Odes is called "Holy Residence", which is a very standard title, meaning to invite Buddha and Bodhisattva incarnate and Prajna wisdom to live in the Buddha statue.

Strictly speaking, "opening the light" is only applicable to Buddhist activities such as temples, pagodas, Buddha statues and the completion of Buddhist scriptures. According to Buddhist tradition, after temples, pagodas and Buddha statues are completed, a suitable day should be chosen to hold a ceremony to express the intention of offering sacrifices and living and working in peace and contentment.
