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 take a look at whether 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 ancestors and gods to avoid praying for blessings. But because of this, avoiding disasters and praying for blessings does not include Buddha, Bodhisattva, Lohan and other Buddha gods.

Because the former is only six sentient beings and has not escaped from reincarnation, the latter has surpassed reincarnation, so the latter will not be affected by the Gregorian calendar. That is to say, the taboo of praying in Gregorian calendar has nothing to do with burning incense and worshiping Buddha. Just go to the temple and pray as usual.

What should we pay attention to when praying and worshiping Buddha?

A respectful heart and standard incense etiquette are enough. No matter who you give incense to, you don't need to pay attention to time or a few incense. Generally, three incense is 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 spirits to protect all beings.

The influence of the yellow calendar on blessing

Actually, don't worry too much. 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 the sky will naturally see our efforts and don't worry too much.

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

It is good to avoid praying on the day of prayer.

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 by yourself. Prayer 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 to pray on a blessed day. So as long as you pray, it means that you want to be blessed by the gods.

Precautions for praying for the 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 should 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. 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 blessing, 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 Tibetan Bodhisattva.

The posture of lowering the head is like this. Kneel on the futon and put your hands together. Note that the palm of your hand is hollow, hold it high above your head, pause to your mouth, make a wish, then go down to your heart, meditate, and then spread your hands. Palm up, upper body slowly prone.

Prayer and the way of praying

If you avoid praying, 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. Remember to dress appropriately when you burn incense and pray. Simple and simple colors are the best, so that you can be tidy. The "neatness" here is not how luxurious you want to wear, but clean and tidy, clothes are not grandiose, unconventional and dignified. I need to take a bath the night before I plan to burn incense in the temple 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 Junmen 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.

The threshold of Taoist temple contains some mysteries of metaphysics. Taoism believes that the threshold of Taoist temple can stop the pollution of the outside world. Once it crosses the threshold, it can put aside worldly troubles and accept the blessings of the gods with a pure heart.

Third, worship the gods.

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

Fourth, burning incense requires reason.

The significance of burning incense is to pray for blessings and eliminate disasters, and it is also an important way to accumulate virtue and improve relations. Taoist incense is generally three sticks, representing the three treasures of Taoism, classics and teachers, as well as heaven, earth and people. Never blow with your mouth when you light incense. If the fire doesn't go out, you can shake it out by hand.

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

The so-called "incense on the head" is the first incense on the first day of every year, and it is also the first incense on the head when the temple door opens every morning (five o'clock in the morning), not the first incense in every temple. It is not the god we worship who wants to see it because of the incense and the head incense. 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 be vegetarian, but when it is impossible because of human relations, you can simply rinse your mouth with clean water 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 and worship, and what is more exquisite is three kneels and nine knocks, which is our most sincere and sincere worship. Stand in front of the mat, pay tribute to the jade statue of Jin Rong, then make fists, kowtow and pray silently. If you are not familiar with this etiquette, you can ask a Taoist priest or a volunteer layman for advice 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 for blessings, we all make wishes with pious hearts, hoping that we can have good luck in the new year, grow old together with our loved ones, and achieve excellent results in future exams ... These wishes are also people's yearning and pursuit for future life. But some wishes can't 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.

Light 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, they can gradually guide all beings to put an end to frivolous, procrastination and slowness. Walking lightly is both self-cultivation and solemnity.

Speak softly.

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

Doing things lightly.

Work in the temple should be brisk, not reckless, not lacking in humility, restrained, purged, rigorous and meticulous.

Lighten yourself.

In the Taoist temple, we should lower ourselves, surrender to our hearts, not 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 "take a look at Qian Qian's kindness instead of once". The lighter the troubles, the deeper the wisdom, the lighter the troubles and the heavier the blessings.
