What are the correct ways and manners of worshipping Buddha?

The significance of worshipping Buddha

1. Induction worship: In order to pray for the blessing of Buddha and Bodhisattva, to make money and avoid disasters, to pray for Buddha's crossing over and to thank you for your kindness.

2. Respect and worship: respect for the three treasures, or out of gratitude and reverence, this worship is spontaneous and sincere.

3. Confession worship: worship for repentance. Those who can repent and worship must be humble or learn humility. Therefore, the worship of confession can improve people's personality, change people's temperament and make people honest, gentle and modest.

4. Worship without phase: Worship without phase is nothing, divided into three levels. At first, I knew I was worshipping, experienced every movement I was worshipping, and ordered my body to worship; Entering the second floor is to know that you are worshipping and experience that you are worshipping, but the heart of command is gone; Finally reached the third level. I have neither command nor experience, but I clearly know that people are worshipping. I don't care who this person is, I only know that "he" is worshipping.

Buddha worship steps

1, stand up straight, with hands folded, feet splayed out, heels separated by about two inches, toes separated by about eight inches. Look at the fingertips in your hand.

2. The right hand comes out first, the left hand is still closed, the waist slowly squats, the right arm stretches forward, the right palm presses down in the center of the mat (or in front of the right knee), the left palm remains still, and the knees kneel down immediately. After kneeling, the left palm extends out and presses on the left side of the worship mat outside the right palm. Don't move or turn your toes when you worship Buddha.

3. Move the right palm forward by half a palm from the right side of the worship pad (or in front of the right knee), flush with the left palm, with the distance between the two palms about six inches, and the forehead flat on the ground.

4, two people master the virtual fist, palms up, palms open, palms up, palms flat on the ground, this is called "face-to-face foot ceremony". When your head touches the ground, you touch the ground with your forehead, not your head.

5. When you get up, turn your fists with your hands, open your palms, stick your palms down to the ground, leave your head off the ground or worship the mat, and move your right hand back to the center of the worship mat (or in front of your right knee).

6. Lift the left palm back to your chest, and the right palm will be supported on the ground, stand up straight, and stand up straight with your hands crossed.

Matters needing attention

1, Buddha doesn't have to stand in the middle, just worship devoutly. When you know the Buddhism of Sanming, Liu Tong, Shili, Four Fearless and Eighteen Fearless, as long as all beings are motivated and all Buddhas know everything, as long as they are sincere and respectful, any place is a good place.

2. No matter how many Buddhas there are in the Buddhist temple, it is usually enough to worship the Buddha three times in the temple; Personal practice is to listen to their wishes. If the people in the temple are assembled, you can stand with others and ask questions with your hands crossed. It is not allowed to worship alone, so as not to affect the public order, and it is not dignified.

3. When you worship Buddha, you should bow down and stand up slowly, one action after another. Very clear and natural, slower, easier and softer. You should experience every movement and feeling of movement easily and slowly. Don't make the act of worshipping Buddha urgent and nervous. Otherwise, if you worship too fast, you will be flustered, busy, anxious and chaotic, but you will lose your peace and stability.

When you worship Buddha, your forehead touches the ground, your back stays straight, your body is soft, and even the ground you touch is soft and cool. After the worship, experience your two palms with your own heart. After standing up, experience the movements and feelings of your hands and feet.

4. When you worship Buddha, you must respect the three treasures in your heart, such as the first Buddha worship (there is no Buddha in the world ...); Second, pray for the opening of the scriptures (the most profound and subtle method ...); Third, it is incredible to worship the monk's treasure. Or worship all buddhas, dharmas and monks for the first time. In the endless void in the south, it is the third time to worship all the Sakyamuni Buddhas in the south. Worship Buddha is mainly based on sincerity, so it is not regular to observe or recite it by personal practice.

5. When worshipping Buddha, don't move your feet, lest you step on Christina. Put your hips on your feet when you worship, and don't tilt up. This is the only etiquette. If the actions are not slow and urgent, and the memories are sincere and respectful, then the Tao can be sensed. When you worship Buddha, you should say to yourself: "There is no Buddha in heaven and earth, and there is no comparison in the ten worlds." I have seen everything in the world, and there is no Buddha bound to Japan. " Or the cloud says, "The king of France is supreme, the three realms are unparalleled, the teacher of heaven and man, and the loving father of four students. I want to convert now, and I can destroy three industries. This is called admiration.

6. Someone worships Buddha, so don't pass by.

7. If a monk is worshipping Buddha, he should not be parallel to the teacher, but behind him.

8. You can't be respectful when you worship Buddha. In fact, your heart is slow or you are practicing your reputation. If you are only superficial when you worship Buddha and have no sense of shame, it is just kowtowing like garlic, and it is difficult to improve your personality.
