Sutra Meritorious Bathing Buddha

I HEARD SOMETHING LIKE THIS: 

A childhood and that, along with 1,250 Buddha the great Bhiksu  ^{[Mozambique su]}  on the Vulture Peak near Rajgir performer.

There are also infinite boundless bodhisattva and celestial altar all come to practice.

^❖

At that time, the Bodhisattva Purity is sitting in the middle of the mass. 

As compassionate beings, he thought like this: 

"By what kind of coast that the Tathagata Buddha was pure body and good general?" 

I think this way: 

"All beings when meeting the Tathagata and close relatives, they will be countless infinite blessings, however, we still do not know after Tathagata in saving lives, beings must How do you think and how the merit of how to make their good health can reach the superiors? 

When you think like that done, he immediately from the seat up, lift the shirt revealed right shoulder, bowed with his forehead touching the foot of the Buddha, then kneeling knees, hands, and white Buddha said, 

"revered sir! I have I want to ask. 

Buddha said:

"Son of man, do not ask, I will follow what you ask and preach." 

At that time, Purity Bodhisattva Bodhisattva Buddha said: 

"The Buddha Tathagata, the application of Buddhism, Chief Justice Chief, by virtue of what coasts are pure body and good general? 

Again, all beings When I meet the Tathagata and close relatives, they will be countless infinite blessings. However, I still do not know after Tathagata in saving lives, beings have to make offerings and merit. Why can the good of their good can reach the Supreme? 

At that time, the Buddha told the Pure Land Bodhisattva: 

"Well, he is good for future beings that can ask me such things. He now listen, smart thinking, and practice the Buddha's teachings.

Purity Tue Bodhisattva said, 

"Yes, sir, I love to hear."

^❖

Buddha told the Pure Land Tue Bodhisattva: 

he must know that, due to generosity, morality, patience, diligent, meditation, wisdom, compassionate discharge, liberation, liberation tri , the Four Noble Truths, all the Dharma, and the Unity of the Hybrid, as well as good and pure as the Lai was pure net.

If anyone with pure heart and make offerings to the Buddha Tathagata - they offer incense, string bean peanut, crown cover, and sleep mattress in front of the Buddha with objects to dig up the pulse round; Get the magic water for bathing; lighting up the compressed incense and initiate the idea that the aroma burst across the Dharma Realm; offering food and drink; used the canticle of psalms and praise the great virtue of the Tathagata; The vow of victory and the direction to the highest of the sea - the merit is boundless and boundless continuity until the Buddha. 

Why? By the wisdom of the Tathagata is impossible to think, countless countless, and no one can match.

^❖

Compassionate son! All Buddhas are full of Three Body. It is dharma body, body, and incarnation. After I passed away, if anyone wants to offer these three, they should offer my relics. 

But amnesty-benefits are two types: 

1.  Amnesty-benefits 
2.  Laws amnesty-benefit " 

Buddha said that: 

" The law from the origins of
Tathagata said this person is the
French coast as the
Great Dao theory

If the male believer and the five disciples are Buddhist monks who want to create a statue, or those who do not want to contribute a little power, until only grown in grain, or build a tower just big apple, pillars like a needle, a small hut like a hull, a small benefit like a mustard seed, or a copy of the Liturgy and placed in that tower, as well as taking the hermaphrodite that makes offerings. Follow the ability of each person and if it can be revered, just as myself is no different.

^❖

1.  Always know ashamed.

When the Pure Grace Bodhisattva listening to this verse finished, the Buddha said: 

"White Sun, beings in the next need to bathe the statue how?" 

Buddha said: 

"You need to start mindfulness for the Tathagata, do not accept the usual, or ignorance where there is and not in the praxis, be thirsty and not boring, to enter the three liberation, intellectual training, always want to go out of the three realms and not to place birth and death, and to beings that generates great compassion and will soon achieve the Three Truths.

Compassionate son! I preached the Four Noble Truths, the Twelvefold Cause, and Six Degrees for him. Now I am because of you, together with the monarchs, the queen, the king, the king, the king, the archangel, the heaven, the dragon, the man, and the spirit, which teaches the method of bathing statues. In the offerings, bathing the statue is the first and more than taking the seven treasures as the sand of the Ganges to give. 

When taking the statue, take the kind of incense, such as the flavor of the mountain in Núi Đầu Top, white flavor, flavor of purple, incense, incense, incense, camphor incense, alfalfa, scent, or other fragrances, and place them on a clean slab and crush into powder. Then, mix the scent with water to make incense and pour it into a clean vase.

Again, take the earth and clean it up in a pure place, or round or square, size according to circumstances. There is a place for bathing, and the Buddha is placed in the middle. Next, sprinkle with warm, warm incense to cleanse the statue. Then continue to drain the water until the statue is clean and fragrant. Water used must be clean water, as this will not harm insects. 

During the bath, the hands can wet the hands of the statue, and then drops of water from the two small fingers down on his forehead. This is called Cat Tuong Water. 

As for the water that is bathed in the image, let the water flow on the clean ground, and do not let your feet trample.

When you take the picture, take a soft towel and clean the statue. Then, burn the aromatic compress to spread the scent around the statue. When done, rest your mind on the old place. 

Compassionate son! Because by bathing the Buddha statue with such a method, it can cause the same people in the sky and people, life is rich, happy, not sick, and live long. All wishes, nothing is not. Friends close friends are all safe. Out of the eight, permanently out of the suffering, not life, and soon to become.

When sheltered statues and burning of incense, and in front of the statue, devout hands, and read shelves of praise that 

I now bathing lettered Tathagata

The smoke of this incense is also like
Infinite infinite Buddha to

pray the three paths of suffering yoke
except clean brain heat is cool
Dao The most unholy minds emerge
from the riverside to the other shore "

When the Buddhist theory of this finished, then in the mass there are infinite boundless Bodhisattva Noble Truth. The number of gods attained wisdom is not degraded. The Purified Prayers of the Buddha. 84,000 beings are emancipated Supreme Self-awareness. 

At that time, the Prajnapatthana Bodhisattva said: "The Lord, 

it is very happy to be taught by the Master how to teach us how to bathe the statue, I will now advise the king, the deity, and all. All those who have faith and love merit, that every day to bathe the statue will be great benefits, we will always stay warm and happy to serve.END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI  BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.29/9/2018.
