Although the Buddha passed away, but over 2,500 years later His teachings were still blessed by so many people, His virtues were still a source of inspiration for many, and His teachings continued. Transform many lives. Only the Buddha had the mighty might to last for centuries. The Buddha never claimed that he was a god, a son of god, or a messenger of god. He is just a man who has perfected himself to be perfect, and teaches that if we follow that example, we can be as perfect as Himself. He never told his disciples to worship him as a god. Actually, he forbade his disciples to do so. He told his disciples that he did not bless those who worshiped him or inflicted harm to anyone who did not worship him. He told Buddhists to respect him as a teacher. He also reminded his followers when worshiping the Buddha statue is to remind themselves to try to practice to develop love and peace. with myself. Incense reminiscent of incense reminding us to overcome bad habits to attain wisdom, torches burned when worship to remind us of the torch to see clearly that this body will then disappear under the law of impermanence. When we prostrate to the Buddha, we prostrate the high teachings that He has given us. That is the essence of worship in Buddhism. Many people have misunderstood the worship of Buddhism, even devote Buddhists. Buddhists never believe that the Buddha is a god, so there is no way they can believe that the wood or metal is divine. In Buddhism, the Buddha is used to symbolize the perfection of mankind. The Buddha also reminds us of the greatness of man in Buddhist doctrine, that Buddhism takes man as the core, not the divine, that we must self reflect autism, must turn Look inside for intellect, not run east outside. Thus, there is no way that one can say that Buddhists worship idols. In fact, since ancient times, primitive people have found themselves living in a world full of hostility and danger. They fear the beasts, fear not enough food, fear of sickness and natural calamities or phenomena such as thunderstorms, storms, volcanoes, thunderstorms, and so on. They do not feel safe in the surroundings and they are not capable of explaining the phenomena, so they create divine ideas to help them feel more comfortable when things go well. As well as having enough courage to overcome the moments of danger, or consoling in the face of misfortune, said that God arranged such arrangements. From generation to generation, people continue to believe in God from their fathers without having to think. Some people believe that they believe in God because God responds to their petitions whenever they are anxious. Some people believe that they believe in God because their parents and grandparents believe in God. Some people say that they prefer to go to church more than to the temple because the people who go to church seem more luxurious than those who go to the temple.END=NAM MO CAKYA MOUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.2/5/2017.
