Buddha, Lord Buddha, worshiping Buddha .

A. Open Thread. 

Until now, the ones with great gratitude for the State and society are revered, grave soil. The cult of admiration by many factors, but the main cause is the gratitude and the desire to follow the example. The other said: "Eating fruit to remember the Gardener, drink to remember who dug the well". Gratitude is a virtue precious, but who have little equity indispensable. A society composed of non-peace elements multiple meanings, stone bowls of porridge eaten, can not survive long, since it discouraged those who have hearts, and dry up sources of sacrifice. Furthermore, if people see the good, the gentle but no fans, saw evil, the evil that not shun, the same person who lacks basic morals, lacks good seed is difficult to progress. For the reasons above, we see the world, regardless of where in, any nation, any age, everyone who contributed to the village, the village is worshiped, who have contributed to the nation, the people Ethnic, it is national, ethnic worship, whose merit to humanity, then is humanity venerate. 

The worship of religion is not beyond the reasons aforementioned. But in the religion, the cult has a permanent character and more passionate, because the cardinal's position has merit greater degree against humanity and is the shining example that believers should set always in sight to enlighten their lives. In the cardinal position, the Buddha is The devotees are the most numerous. The devotees here expressed in the church, and worship Lord Buddha. 

B. Parent Thread 

I.- Buddhist Church 

1) Buddha is worthy of worship. Buddha beings painstakingly cultivate merit and wisdom, so that was quite lucid and fully noble virtue. The moral and intellectual, who used him to lead beings out of suffering reincarnation, caste and race joyfulness lucid. In the birth of his job, he is never the retrogression discouraged despite difficult obstacles. He was prayer for the whole being, until no longer a living being to another new level only. it is true of the sentence: "Self-discipline, sense of forgiveness, fullness feeling well." A sufficient level three valuable qualities is Bi, knowledgeable, courageous and three basic qualities that a person wants to be perfect, perfection, whole leg, indispensable. A sublime excellence, with the precious teachings, noble gestures, lucid action, an exemplary life as Buddhist, but we do not worship, they still worship anyone else? 

2) But we have to worship the Buddha how the true meaning new. As mentioned above, we worship Buddha to show our gratitude for the great kindness Area had with humanity. We worship the Buddha is to be always in front of a lucid model of perfection to die thoughts, words and actions we are truth, goodness, beauty such as Buddha. People often say: "Close the ink black, near the bright lights." We worship the Buddha was'd always be there with you the light of His wisdom, the compassion of his taste, for light transmission, aromatic spread, rather we aim to entreat him for his blessing, except painting, so he sheltered us high traffic dishonestly, or do we rely on His power, spoiled do nefarious things. If we worship him with misleading purpose as said above, not only we have libel sell Buddha, but we also create thought not good for us. 

3) Must worship Buddha do? What Buddha means the Infinite Light, immense and immeasurable life around and merit monk blessed the place boundless; so everyone is worshiping a Buddha Buddha worship all. But we should also, depending on the period of each Buddha's teaching and practice of religious worship for good reason, the body. For example, at present, we are in a period teaching of Buddha Shakyamuni, they would of course, we must worship Him first. If any religious followers of the "Pure Land", specializing in the disciplines "Tri list Buddhist concept" to bridge rebirth, the believers had to worship Buddha amitābha. Or, if Buddhists want Buddha in three church all my life, it should worship the Buddha Sakyamuni, Germany amitābha, and Lord Maitreya, called the church "Tam The Buddha". 

4) How to worship Buddha. Thus in the believer, if you want images of Buddha, the most three Area. And remember, while Tam The Buddha worship, ordination to share a table. If humidicrib object should hang straight, not so high, so low, nor are the big, the baby; still as wooden statues, bronze statues terracotta statue, then to peer co bothered, not to spare, subordinates. Buddhist altar to place himself between the altar and grandparents at the bottom or right after question: "Miss Linh Tien Buddha, or Buddha lowering Shanghai Spirit". If the floor is dedicated to Buddha upstairs. In the Buddhist altar should not let trifles else, outside the vase, candlesticks and incense burners ,, fruit plate. These items everyday care will always wipe wipe. First time visiting Buddha, believers have a rooftop ceremony statue, also known as an Buddha ceremony. This ceremony is not required to organize lavish, just to make a simple, but no less dignity and purity. Want to be two features it, the landlord must prepare ourselves to clean: vegetarian, precepts and deeds will invite intellectuals to recite a business households. And starting on an Buddha ceremony onwards, everyone in the house, each day a multitude saw Buddha, should think to remember His great virtue revamp our body and mind. Everyday concerns improvements to the behavior together, internal and external, have always instilled the spirit of compassion, love and equality. Thus new nominal value hit with a family of Buddhist worship. Perennial worship, damaged statue torn, painted, or can not be repaired, you should change a new phenomenon. When a new object and then the old statue in the temple awaiting the opportunity offered to enter the tower, do not leave it where registration, but guilty. 

II.-  Lord Buddha 

1) Meaning bowing Phat.- old days, when the Buddha was in this world, practitioners from the king, to the people, each to be fortunate enough to see the Buddha Shakyamuni, are bent down to hug his feet and put his forehead Klen his feet to homage, worship one supreme: Bi, supernatural place. The gesture was an extremely humble gesture, acquiescent and completely reliable for the Buddha. After Buddha's death, all believers still see him as still alive, and the final gesture to hug his feet still continued existence to this day and thousands of years later. Gesture that only the items used to make TINN always envisioned as the Buddha was sitting in front of me to witness the passionate sincerity of his glasses. 

2) Make a new bow to the Buddha how to correct the nghia.- To correct the above sense, when the Lord Buddha to kneel, hands back out like lifting the back legs of the Buddha and finally put his forehead down on the palms hand. Before Lord Buddha, clean yourselves for: cleanser, rinse, wipe hands and feet, change clothes and wear robes. Done, new Buddha burning incense in front desk, standing upright, hands clasped to his chest, staring statue, mind to the general good and noble virtues of Him, and manifested his true aspirations , amnesty and then plug into the incense burners, rated chime and three bow bow to Buddha. Buddhist ceremony like new lawful; in business called "body and mind reverent ceremony", meaning that the body and mind eagerly gathered Ching grave, rejoice together the mind, and with all respects as having been Buddha in the world. Conversely, we Buddha with heart down the network (network fall feast), or with the name of the center (the name of the festival), it did not have any results, but also bring more crime. 

Network fall festival, when Lord Buddha that in mind while haughtily, haughty, in stature (head, arms, legs) are not close to the ground, got up late down carelessly, walked through the matter. The name of the event, is to see that there are many people associated mouth loudly proclaimed title of Buddha lengthy, painstaking prostrate themselves again restless, meant to let people praise. In contrast, the relative absence of people to idleness, the heart lazy, do not want to worship anything. Two loving way above holidays are false, so those who want to carry the Path, must be avoided immediately. 

3) Four permit bowing (of the base) .- In terms of justice, then there is four ceremonies. 

a) Play a pure le.- In this authorization, the ceremony must penetrate that realm of the Buddhas are currently displayed depending center, should bow to a Buddha, that is worshiped all Buddhas, took a bow, ie France was bowing all world, because of the Buddha Dharma body message text. 

b) Variable legal world enter le.- In this method, the ceremony had to contemplate the body, mind and all law, since until now have not yet left the legal world. 

c) Chief shop le.- In this method, the Buddha prostrations immediately place his own mind, not connected with any other Buddha, because all beings from time immemorial, are available Buddhahood perfection equality and sense pins. 

d) It is general legal equality le.- In this ceremony, the ceremony did not see themselves, have forgiven; and its people are one, human and St. Nhut like, how and incomparable advantage. He therefore Botat Manjushri said: "Energy celebration, ceremony stillness basis," meaning that people 
worshiped, and bowing their god, the nature are quiet. Such thorough and reasonable new Bat Nha. 

Four allow this ceremony, high physical hard think, if not irritated upper house, the upper position, the lens does not float and is difficult to follow. 

III.-  worshiping Buddha  : Being told off, tell enough donations mean Jewels: Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. Offerings have nghjia is to provide and nurture. 

1.- The meaning of worship Phat.- Some will ask: Why Buddha is real being, eternal, but also to make offerings? Actually, Buddha escaped the cycle of birth and death, the longer term where the in the eating. But this is only a formality to imply that, although the Buddha has passed away long ago, but for us, always look like he was on earth. In the past, the disciples, benefactors na colonies were offering him how far we still continue her gesture. This offering makes us close to the Buddha, had the feeling always at the side of Buddhism. Also goodness worship, worship of this offering which we are associated affinity with Buddhism, visualize pronounced his life to decide to follow his footsteps. 

2. Must worship Buddha for what? (On the) .- Still Know that we should make offerings to Buddha to imagine as he was on earth, but if we do, every time worshiping Buddha, the fully furnished dining, yet lavish banquet is fundamental it's a waste of, dues but also distort the profound meaning of Buddhist worship. So want to worship Buddha, the true significance should be used only scent, light, fresh flowers, good fruit, water and sometimes add white rice is enough. 

3. In food magic incense to worship Buddha. And on that talk about the, the external appearance to worship Buddha. And in terms of reason, it must be used in dishes magic incense to worship Buddha as follows: 

a) About huong.- France very pure body of Buddha, if the terms of the, we had to use burning incense offerings, the terms of reason, we must also maintain dignified world for purity, so donations are enough both A and Li. 

b) Concentration huong.- body and mind we are fascinated and often chaotic contamination in all circumstances. If to drift forever in that condition, we do not practice anything. So every day, every hour, every minute, every second, every moment we should try to set the static soul, do not let the thoughts, evil actions invaded the soul and makes us be chaotic . Make the mind settles down, such as user navigation and Buddha. 

c) Hue Hue huong.- Buddhist incense is always necessary to pay attention to three items clear: Van hearing, thinking, and Practicing. Hearing is listen precious teaching Buddhas and St. donation, thinking that brought precious words said on the judgment, brooding, knows how to be, how is wrong, which is the foot truth, which is the seedbed lied to from the delusions in their wicked ways; Practicing is determined to practice what they believed to be right, except give her things to the contrary, implement an insight d1ung bitter doctrine of Buddha. 

d) Liberation huong.- Liberation Buddhist incense is determined to break except the ego, the origin of how the suffering of samsara. We must always consistent selflessness, not getting the big four are his relatives, nor look at her now discrimination is to be escape the cycles of birth and death. 

e) Release the knowledge huong.- We know customary selflessness, to break unless they are liberated ego, but still "France accept" binding, should not to be liberated realm, very afraid as Buddha . France also accepted means longer see things as: earth, water, wind, fire is real; also see great joys and sorrows are real. When we can get that big four trim print real opera is because we are still in business people, and not for other species, such as fish, where the water is water as we conceived, but the castle and houses; for beetle, they're not like us wood conception, which is the food and housing. So happy, sad, joy, pain are treated together by birth. Then France and Russia, they are false, untrue, but just take a selfie name only. Always shop like that, to be liberated from the French mortgage, so-called "Liberation knowledge incense" worshiping Buddha. 

4. Offering Dharma: Dharma is the Buddha Dharma teaching, according to the beings that practice. France wanted to offer protection, first we must learn Economics, Law, thesis research and teachings to determine how the French say, is orthodox. If we have made extensive study, they must think about interpreting the scriptures Foreign Language Vietnamese language to accomplish a set of Tripitaka Vietnam, we can help in the missionary activities of the benefit being lectured or composing issues related to Buddhism. If we have the finances should become extort money printing or publishing to popular French Classics sure. These jobs are offered as on the road Legal protection. 

5. Offering Increased security: If we had a center of worship Buddha, then of course we must respect the Sangha. Buddhist monks were replaced by the teachings transmitted to us, how can we ignore not known? We should not discriminate Increase in public land, any temple or sect. Monk moral enough we also ready to serve both, so-called donations Sangha.
