Little knowledge of Buddha beads

1. How to play bracelets? What are the tips?

Millennium language: playing with bracelets is the most fashionable "practice" at present, just like drinking tea and composing songs, it is also a fashion in antique collection.

Bracelets made of different materials have different ways of playing. The following are the four most common wooden bracelets:

First, sandalwood

1. When playing sandalwood bracelets, the first step is the same as playing gold nanmu bracelets. First, clean them thoroughly.

2. Let it stand naturally for a week. Let the beads dry naturally. At the same time, the surface is in uniform contact with air, forming a fine and uniform oxide protective layer. Pay attention to avoid high temperature and direct sunlight.

After playing with cotton cloth and glove tray for a week and a half, the surface becomes smooth and can be worn.

Note: it doesn't matter if you are a little wet, but you can't wear it in the shower and swimming. Beads will become active and clean in the later stage of cotton cloth and be used for beading. Don't touch it with sweaty hands, it is easy to block pores and look black and dirty.

Second, lobular rosewood

The lobular rosewood has delicate wood, high oil content, and is not easy to deform and crack, so it does not need oiling when serving.

1. Use a white towel to remove wax or dirt for about two or three hours a day, just two days.

2. It is normal that there will be red marks on the surface after rubbing it with a soft cotton cloth plate for a week. Keep loading.

3. After standing for several weeks, the beads naturally dried and oxidized to form an oxide film. This can protect rosewood from further oxidation. The oxidation process will occur when it is placed naturally.

4. Start the handwheel. Hands are very demanding. They must be clean and dry. Wear gauze gloves if you sweat. You can dish for about 30 minutes every day for about one week to two weeks. At this time, you will find a phenomenon. Dry hand plate beads have a sticky feeling, indicating that a thin patina has formed on the surface of the beads.

5. After the patina is formed, it is the hardening of patina, and it is naturally left for about a week.

6. Repeat the process of 4 and 5. After 3 months, dish up the beads, and you will find that the surface of the beads has a very aura luster, which will reflect light under the sunlight.

Third, Huang Huali.

Thousand-year-old wood Hainan Huanghua Lizhu (0.6cm* 108)

1. Huang Huali won by pattern, but it is not easy to "dish" directly by hand. After a period of time, the wood will turn black and brown (the color is not as noble as rosewood) to cover up the beautiful patterns (but it can still be seen in warm light or sunshine)!

2. It is suggested to wipe the bead surface with a white towel first, and then put it directly by hand, but it will turn black in the end. Therefore, don't put Huang Huali bracelets by hand often, just show them off once in a while!

3. The posture of the dish is the same as that of rosewood.

Note: rosewood is fine in texture, high in oil content and not easy to deform and crack. You don't need to oil the plate when you load it.

Fourth, agarwood

In fact, the bracelets of agarwood beads do not need to be deliberately played. Although the patina will make the bracelet look better, the patina layer may block the pores on the surface of the bracelet, making it difficult to distribute the fragrance, resulting in the fragrance weakening or even no fragrance at all. Only a few high-quality agarwood with good oiliness can emit fragrance while forming patina, so the agarwood beads bracelet still need not be deliberately played, so you can wear it at will!

2. What is written on the beads?

Beads have different numbers because they have different meanings. According to popular saying, the different meanings are summarized as follows: 108 beads are the most common number. In order to prove ignorance, remove 108 kinds of troubles and let the body and mind reach a state of silence.

There are different opinions about the content of 180. Generally speaking, six roots have their own pains, joys and sorrows, which makes them eighteen. There are three kinds of good, evil and equality in Six Roots, eighteen kinds of doing, which is thirty-six. Together with past lives's three generations, there are one hundred and eight kinds of troubles. As the scripture says: The Bodhisattvas asked: What is a cloud? Buddha's words: if you have thoughts, you don't know if there are yin and sets in your heart. I don't know if I'm crazy, so is going to my destination, and so is knowledge. It means the third level.

See lust, neutral color, evil color, I wonder if there is a set of level playing field. There are six classics, each with six classics. Although there is no language of three generations, there are hundreds of clouds, so we know that it is also three generations.

Since mind knowledge has three meanings, it is connected with three generations, such as gathering the mind of a name, making a name known, and distinguishing names. Three means the same thing, so five are the same.

There are 36 reasons in three generations, so there are 180. [7] 1080 According to Tiantai Sect's theory, the top ten realms are all good and evil, so the number 1080 indicates that each of the top ten realms has1080 kinds of troubles, which is a synthesis of1080 kinds of troubles.

The "Ten Realms" refer to the mysterious and enlightened whole world, namely: 1, Hell Realm, 2, Hungry Ghost Realm, 3, Beast Realm, 4, Shura Realm, 5, Man Realm, 6, Heaven Realm, 7, Sound Realm, 8, Yuanjue Realm, 9, Bodhisattva Realm,/kloc- Fifty-four stars represent fifty-four positions in the practice of Bodhisattva, including ten faiths, ten residences, ten lines, ten directions, ten places and fifty places, plus four good roots.

[13] Forty-two stars represent the forty-two stages of Bodhisattva's practice, namely, ten places, ten lines, ten directions, ten places, equal senses and wonderful senses. Equality consciousness: it is equal to Buddha in content, but slightly inferior to Buddha in practice.

For details, please refer to Kumarajiva's translation of "Benevolent King Prajna Paramita Accepts Goods". [14] Miaojue refers to a Buddha's fruit of complete consciousness, which is obtained by equal awareness breaking the ignorance of a product.

[15] Thirty-six pieces have no exact meaning and are generally considered to be easy to carry, so the 108 pieces are divided into 36 pieces, which includes the principle of seeing the small as the big, so it is the same as 108 pieces. Twenty-seven stars represent the twenty-seven sages of Hinayana who practiced four fruits in four directions, namely, the "eighteen knowing" of the first four fruits and the "nine ignorant" of the fourth Luo Han Guo.

Eighteen have studied: 1, Shun Xin, 2, Shun Fa, 3, Understand Xin, 4, See it, 5, ID card, 6, family, 7, one room (one kind), 8, Forward Flow, 9, Forward Flow Fruit, 10, One-way, 65433.

[18] Fourteen stars indicate that Guanyin Bodhisattva shares the same sorrow with all sentient beings such as Shifang, Shisan and Liudao, which makes all sentient beings gain fourteen fearless merits.

Fourteen fearless: 1, so that all beings can reflect on their own nature and get rid of it; 2, so that all living beings know, it is difficult to meet fire, and the fire cannot be burned; 3, make all living things spin and listen to it, although it is floated by the big water, the water can't drown; 4. Make all beings enter the ghost country of Luo Cha, and the ghost will self-destruct; 5. Make the six sentient beings disappear, and when they are killed, the knife section is broken; 6.

3. Does anyone know the South Red Buddha Head?

Three-way Buddha heads are an important part of Buddha beads, and the Buddha beads with three-way Buddha heads represent the conversion to the Three Treasures. The Buddha's head represents Buddha and other beads, while the string is very particular.

Generally, the heads of the three-way Buddha of South Red Agate are connected in series at the end of the whole string of beads of South Red Agate. Its size is larger than other beads in the south red agate beads, showing a "D" shape with holes on three sides. The rope passes through two through holes and then comes out from the middle hole, symbolizing "the unity of all laws".

In addition, the existence of the head of the South Red Agate Road not only makes the beads more beautiful, but also facilitates people to count them accurately when chanting Buddha. When you dial the south red agate bead, you dial the head of the south red agate tee to know that the whole bead has been read again!

Do you know that wearing beads has eight advantages?

Beads can not only be recited and counted in your hand, but also be hung around your neck or wrapped around your arm to play the role of beading. These are of far-reaching significance. According to its use method and purpose, the efficacy of beads has many functions. The following are the common functions of beads: 1. All beings are bound by karma, so that the general public does not learn Buddhism and does not approach Buddhism.

At first glance, it is the fate of a Buddha. The word "Buddha", its name and even its image all fall into Araya's knowledge, so it is of great significance.

Don't forget the beads at six o'clock. We often wear them on our bodies and hold them in our hands. This is the purpose of Buddha beads to transform all sentient beings. 2. For people who believe in Buddhism, beads are an important magic weapon for practice. No matter when and where you wear it, you can increase your merits, promote your career, get the protection of all buddhas and bodhisattvas, and finally achieve incredible results such as breaking the root of troubles forever, increasing your wisdom, and getting unparalleled results quickly.

3. Jewelry beads with elegant makeup temperament have become decorations and playthings in the hands of many people, and of course there may not be anything wrong with them. Nowadays, it is not only popular to wear beads in Hong Kong and other places, but also all kinds of beads are sold by major companies in the United States. Foreigners also like to carry one or two strings of beads with them as decoration.

In fact, there is merit in wearing beads. The ever-changing and elegant appearance of beads is not only the most basic evil spirits and safety, but also serves as a fashion ornament to match clothes and set off noble and elegant temperament.

4. Healing anxiety, self-interest and caring for others can achieve fearless, calm, stable and sound effects, thus eliminating stress and obtaining happiness. 5, beads, when holding a spell, as a tool for counting, if the Buddha does not leave his mouth, he will not leave his hand.

It is important to count beads every day and set the number of reciting. When the heart is very clean during the day, you should still think about it when chanting. If you don't use beads, you will definitely miss 100, and you have to do it again.

As a general practitioner, we should have a constraint on ourselves. After specifying the quantity, we should count the beads. I think this is very important! In short, whether to read Buddha depends on your own foundation. Beads can really remind people to practice well.

Whether it is Han Buddhism or Tibetan Buddhism, it is very unique to recite Buddha with beads and hold spells. By chanting holy names, Buddha and holding beads, you can read clearly, remember clearly, count your thoughts clearly, tie your heart with beads and guard against the invasion of false thoughts.

In this way, when you recite Buddha, you can be more carefree and recite it wholeheartedly. 6. Concentrate, eliminate distractions, remind us to recite Buddha, and never forget to recite Buddha.

Bind your heart with beads and beware of delusion. For those who haven't practiced or even practiced, people's hearts are like wild horses, and the most difficult thing to control is our hearts. Therefore, holding the beads, you can recite them at any time to increase your concentration, give birth to wisdom, concentrate your body and mind, and let go of everything. Especially when a person's mentality fluctuates too much, or his mind is worried, he will become impetuous, anxious and confused, so that he can't get it.

Beads can help us get rid of distractions, keep our hearts together and awaken our hearts. Once our inner energy is completely improved, we can get rid of other thoughts and concentrate. 7. To ward off evil spirits and eliminate negative magnetic fields, for many believers, chanting and holding spells after the beads are opened will have great blessing power, achieve the effect of ward off evil spirits and even have the magical effect of treating diseases.

8. Have the power to increase wisdom and achieve the protection of gods and buddhas. Hold power, protect all the gods and buddhas, and make the desire of increasing wisdom, seeking good fortune, keeping peace and getting rich succeed! 9. It is not easy to save the meaning of good thoughts, increase positive energy and completely eliminate the deep-rooted ignorance of all beings from the heart. Therefore, we should save more good thoughts to eliminate troubles and increase positive energy. 10, which can make the will force converge, reach heaven and listen, and be blessed by all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. If you can gather the will of most people and everyone's pious heart, you will be able to exert the power of goodness and listen to heaven, and you will be blessed by all buddhas and bodhisattvas.

5. Maintenance knowledge of wood damaged children's beads

The copybook is a symbol of exorcism among the people, so it is commonly known as "ghosts see sorrow" and Buddhism calls it "Bodhi"

According to legend, the wooden stick made of Sapindus mukoraiensis can exorcise demons and kill ghosts, so it is called "Sapindus mukoraiensis". The core of Sapindus mukoraiensis is black and very hard, which can be used to make Bodhi bracelets. The longer the setting time, the darker the color.

A good Bodhi bracelet has a high collection value. Sapindus, the Latin scientific name of Sapindus, is the abbreviation of Soapindicus, which means "Indian soap". Because its thick fleshy peel contains saponin, it will blister when rubbed with water and can be used for cleaning. Is one of the major cleaners in ancient times.

Wood-damaged beads, also known as Sapindus Beads, are suitable for wearing in all seasons, but avoid direct sunlight, drying and washing on weekdays, otherwise cracks will appear. Once there is a crack, it doesn't matter. After a little play, it will gradually become less obvious, and some will remain the same, but they will not crack the problem.

However, its oil production is not high. When asking about daily maintenance, you can scrub the surface with a little olive oil with a soft brush, and then set the plate repeatedly with cotton gloves until the oil is even and bright. Sapindus muppets and beads gradually turn red after playing for a long time, which is also a favorite side of many bead lovers.

6. Wanwen lovers must know: 108 How to wear beads?

1. Should the Buddha's head be above or below?

This question is believed to have troubled many friends, and many people are arguing about this statement.

For our Central Plains culture, Buddha's head is worn on it. According to the Taoist theory of yin and yang, the chest is yin and the back is yang, so putting the Buddha's head on it and the shadow cloud (carrying fish) on the back is the balance of yin and yang. From the perspective of Buddhism in the Central Plains, the Buddha's head represents the Buddha, and wearing it is a respect for the Buddha. We can see that the owners of temples all wear Buddha heads on them.

2. Should beads be worn on your hands or around your neck?

When we ordinary people go in and out of the temple, if we bring beads, it is best not to wear them around our necks, but to wear them on our left wrists or in our hands. This is a respect for the monks in the temple. Careful friends will find that ordinary monks in temples don't wear beads, and only the abbot of the temple or the "big monk" we often say will wear beads. Therefore, it is also a respect for monks for us ordinary people to enter the temple to take off pearls.

By the way, popularize some knowledge: it's not that we see monks wearing monk's clothes, but generally they can only be regarded as monks, monks and monks. Only a monk with a certain status and practice can be called a monk.

3. What is the most suitable size of beads?

I don't know when large-size beads became popular. They are always 12 away. I have even seen donkey kong wear 108. It is no exaggeration to say that short beads can reach the knees. I don't understand why I wear large beads. Is it to look bigger?

Personally, if you want to wear it on your wrist, 8*6 and 9*7 are both good choices, and 10*8 is also appropriate. I don't recommend any large size, unless it's a bracelet. After all, your hands need to move frequently, and the beads are too big and heavy to be a burden.

If you want to wear it around your neck, the beads with the maximum size of 1.2 cm and 12 will basically reach your stomach if you wear them for a man with a height of1.8m.. Traditionally, you can't wear beads on your waist. From an aesthetic point of view, I really don't think such a long bead looks good. After all, we are not Friar Sand or Lu. A person's temperament does not need a bead, just embellishment.

I often tell my friends that when we play with beads, we are playing with beads. If we have religious beliefs, that's another matter. We can't confuse them, and we can't pretend to have faith without faith. In fact, beads are also a way of playing. Our "game culture" originated from people's need to have something in their hands to share their psychological tension when they are nervous, and gradually evolved to today. If you want me to say play is play, you should put your mind on it and get down to earth to achieve something.

7. How to maintain the bead bracelet?

Maintenance and precautions of bead bracelets are as follows:

1, don't wear other metal ornaments when wearing beads bracelet to avoid collision and deformation.

2. Avoid contact with water vapor and chemicals, and don't wear bathing suits, especially in seawater.

3. If you have enough time, clean it with cotton every day and put it in a jewelry box.

4. Bead bracelets are stained with dust due to wearing. You can brush the toothpaste with a soft brush and dry it with cotton cloth after washing.

5, the maintenance of the bead bracelet should always touch the jewelry by hand, which will enhance the luster of the bracelet.

6. You'd better take it off when washing your hands. Soap containing alkaline substances can damage beads and affect luster.

7. Don't touch acidic and alkaline substances to avoid cosmetics being contaminated by beads.

8. Wear bracelets in an orderly manner. Wear the bracelet first, and then, to avoid hooking clothes and causing beads to fall off.

9. Carry a small jewelry bag with you to avoid taking off the bracelet and putting it on the sink because of washing your hands, and accidentally falling to the ground and breaking it.

Extended data:

The meaning of beads:

Beads are generally spherical, indicating perfection and perfection. We often complain about many defects in life and people, but we have never found an important problem, that is, a problem that Buddhism has explained in thousands of words.

Everyone has perfect wisdom and merits, but because of their unnecessary troubles, these original perfect wisdom is obscured and cannot be revealed. As long as we can solve these unnecessary troubles, we can use them at will, just like the Buddha, who has three bodies, four minds, five eyes and six roots.
