In fact, if there is no conflict with one's religious beliefs and the family environment permits, it is worth promoting to settle down the ancestors, landlords and land. This not only inherited the tradition of respecting heaven and ancestors in China, but also strengthened the cohesion of families and clans. Always remind individuals of their commitment to family and clan, and sow the seeds of loyalty and filial piety in the hearts of future generations.
How to soothe the nerves
1. Comfort and tranquility are the most important places to soothe nerves. You should choose a quiet and open place, not too narrow or close to dirty places. Do not install it at the bottom of stairs, under beams, in toilets or doors, in passages, in mirrors, in windy places, up and down or around air conditioners. There should be no roads or other obstacles in front of the throne. If the gods are uneasy, it will also affect the health and luck of the family and make the family uneasy. This is generally speaking, but a god of wealth like Guan, except for purity, restlessness and uncleanness, stands at the door, one is lucky, the other is in the town, and refuses to be haunted. In those days, Guan Ge took the general's head from a million-strong army, as if looking for something. How powerful he is!
2, in addition to the kitchen, it is not appropriate to serve other gods in the kitchen. In addition, bedrooms, toilets and storerooms are not suitable for calming the nerves.
3. If the combination cabinet has a TV and stereo, it is not appropriate to calm down.
4. The image of a mighty god, such as Guan Gong, should not face the place where they often sit and lie, otherwise the children or cowards at home will be uneasy.
5, if the house is small, it is not suitable for calming the nerves, and the gods and buddhas will be counterproductive.
6. Don't only sacrifice ancestors or ancestral tablets without sacrificing gods, otherwise it will be easily invaded by evil spirits, causing anxiety at home.
7, the new god cabinet or welcome god into the house should be placed in an auspicious direction, the most taboo is the position of the three evils. If it is really unavoidable, you must first use the "floating furnace" (the bottom plate of the furnace) to calm your nerves, and then choose an auspicious place in the next year.
8. If the house is small, the cabinet should not be too big, and the incense burner should be inserted without padding. And pay attention to keep a certain distance from other furniture.
9. God V had better have a door or a small window, and don't close it all. Those who have transparent glass behind God Q should stick yellow paper on the glass so that it will not be empty.
10, if the idol is not placed in the cabinet or Q, it should also be covered with red and yellow cloth or red and yellow cardboard. The left and right sides should also have a certain distance from other objects, otherwise it will be regarded as disrespect. In addition, idols can't be empty, so it's better to have a wall to back them up, otherwise a screen should be added behind them.
1 1, the god cabinet or the god q are all made of wood, and it is best to match the auspicious size of Lu Banchi. It is best to choose a cabinet with three compartments, the upper compartment is for gods, the second compartment is for ancestors and families, and the lower compartment is for landlords before and after. Generally, the landlords before and after write a red card, "The Dragon God of Five Blessingg, the God of Wealth of the landlords before and after", and they usually wear flowers to hang red (long red cloth). Incense burners should be placed in each compartment of the cabinet, followed by porcelain stoves, followed by copper stoves. If you pay attention to it, the immortal should set up his own incense burner. If you worship the three gods, you should set up three incense burners, with the incense burner of the central god as the largest. It is not necessary for a family to put only one incense burner in each compartment.
12. if there is more than one statue dedicated to the cabinet, the number of statues should be odd, that is, three, five, etc. , and should be divided into primary and secondary. Generally, it is the limit to worship the three gods at home.
13. If the idol must be in the same row as the ancestor, the idol should be placed in the middle and the ancestral tablet should be placed on the right (take the idol itself as Guisuo). The height of the ancestral tablet cannot be higher than that of the idol. The proportion of incense burners should be moderate, and the incense burners of God should be in the middle, and the height should not be higher than the belly of God. The incense burner in front of the ancestors is smaller than the main furnace, so it should be placed behind the main furnace, not side by side.
14. If there are ancestral tablets with two surnames, put the main surname on the left and the deputy surname on the right (the left and right are counted by the ancestral tablets themselves). If adopted, the woman's tablet should be left, otherwise the man's tablet should be left.
15, besides the incense burner, the cabinet should also have permanent lights and candles. At present, the popular three-compartment cabinet has a lamp position reserved at the top of each compartment, and a light bulb can be screwed on. Sanduang District is the only one who can make do. Candles refer to a pair of incense sticks, but ordinary families have abandoned or switched to electric lights on weekdays. Flowers are usually placed on the top of the vase. Green tea and raw fruit should be placed in three compartments, and fresh fruit should be replaced when it is close to deterioration. It should be noted that pineapple (pineapple) or pear is not suitable for ancestor worship.
16, it is best to provide a "doorway" outside the house, also known as "Fude Shen Zheng", which was called the social god in ancient times. Generally, a red card with the words "the land of wealth at the door" is enshrined in Guangdong and Hong Kong. Some of them have canopies and bases, while others show the image of landlords or female landlords. If there is no bottom plate, it should be padded with red bricks (you can also hang red cards on the outer wall of the door so that the bottom touches the red bricks), and then put the incense burner in front. "Land at the entrance" > >;
Question 2: What's so important about worshipping God at home? Go to the temple to worship God. Little things can be worshipped at home. The worship ceremony is the same. A pair of red candles, three incense sticks, three kinds of fruits and a stack of gold paper. Set up offerings, light red candles, light incense, hold incense above your head with both hands, meditate or recite aloud, ask the gods to sit down, pray for their wishes, and insert incense burner after three worships. Put your hands together and worship three times. Thank the gods. After the ceremony. If you want to kneel in the temple, you don't have to kneel at home. Better get down on your knees.
Question 3: What should we pay attention to when offering sacrifices to bodhisattvas at home? 1. Basic etiquette: 1, wash your hands before worshipping Buddha. 2. Worship Buddha respectfully and sincerely. 3. Call Buddha or Bodhisattva by name. 4. When there is no incense or inconvenient incense, put your hands together on your chest and lean forward slightly; If you have a tree in your hand, respect the Buddha. 5. The offerings before Buddha and Bodhisattva should be: fruits, snacks, clean water, flowers, etc. , and must not be used for meat and vegetables containing meat oil, let alone wine. 6. After worshipping the Buddha respectfully, stand back respectfully and don't step on the threshold. 7. When seeking Buddha and Bodhisattva, you can only ask one thing every day. Put your hands together on your chest, hold a heart on your chest, and kowtow nine times. 8. Your wish should be based on kindness and sincerity. 9. Don't make noise in front of the Buddha statue. Two major festivals: 1. Bath Buddha Festival (the eighth day of the fourth lunar month) 2. Bonsai Festival (commonly known as Ghost Festival, the 15th day of the seventh lunar month) 3. On Sakyamuni's Buddha's Birthday (the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month), most people worship Guanyin Bodhisattva at home or go to temples to burn incense and worship Buddha to see if it is safe ... Life is really colorful, whether you want to pursue it or not.
Question 4: Is there anything particular about burning incense and worshiping Buddha at home? The so-called "honesty is the spirit", why?
Hua Yan Jing records that "the nature of Buddhism should be observed, and everything is created by idealism". Without heart, you can't feel Buddha and Bodhisattva naturally.
What is the purpose of incense? Is to remind yourself that time flies and never comes back!
Some people say that incense is for buddhas and bodhisattvas, which is really a fallacy. All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have six magical powers and feed on meditation. We don't need to sacrifice at all. All our products are superficial.
Buddhism believes that all Buddhas are empty, and there are Buddhas everywhere, so you can burn incense sincerely.
May you get what you want!
Question 5: What direction should we pay attention to when burning incense at home? If you worship a bodhisattva, it is good to burn incense in front of the Buddha, but you must pay attention to safety when burning incense at home, and the space at home is small. Burning incense is not good for your health. Burning incense and worshipping Buddha are expensive. As long as you truly believe in Buddhism, you will be rewarded. You can install a lucky star on your mobile phone to make a wish, in which many gods such as Guanyin Bodhisattva are invited. The method is sacred and solemn, and can be carried around at ordinary times, which can not only protect the body and protect the heart, but also pray devoutly from time to time, which is very convenient and effective!
Question 6: What are the rules for burning incense at the altar at home? Orientation of God and Buddha
China people have always been a polytheistic nation, and their beliefs are free, so all kinds of gods are worshipped. Even in today's rather westernized society of Hong Kong and Singapore, many people still keep the traditional customs, set up holy tables at home and burn incense devoutly every morning and evening.
According to the custom, there are some taboos to pay attention to when placing the sacred table:
(1) The holy table should face the gate: the holy table should face the gate. Look at the Taoist temples all over the world. All the gods face the gate, and you will know that this statement is correct. In the family, except for some idols who have to face the door, others don't have to stick to the rules; For example, Guandi and the landlord, the God of Wealth, should face the gate, and nothing else is needed. Guandi is Wu Caishen, with a dragon eyebrow and a phoenix eye, holding a dragon crescent moon blade. It is not only majestic, but also majestic, which makes evil spirits flinch, so most families regard it as the god of the town house. If it is facing the gate, it has the function of guarding the portal. The landlord god of wealth, the full name of the five dragon gods, is the landlord god of wealth before and after. In the traditional society of China, the house is dedicated to the landlord God of Wealth, and the land outside the door is dedicated to the patron saint of a house. But now many buildings are not allowed to provide land at the entrance of public corridors, so the landlord, the God of Wealth, has to hold two jobs and face the gate to prevent evil houses from raging! As can be seen from the quotations, Guandi and the local god of wealth should be facing the door. (2) The decoration of Guanyin: Many people put Guanyin and Guandi together for worship, which is actually inappropriate. Because Guanyin is the god of Buddhism, Guandi is the hero idol worshipped by the people; Moreover, Guanyin is merciful, and it is forbidden to kill. Guandi is jealous of evil and makes contributions with blood! Therefore, it is really inappropriate to worship the two together. As mentioned above, Guandi has to go to the gate, but Guanyin doesn't have to go. Guanyin had better sit west to east. In addition, because Guanyin is clean and flawless, there are three things to do:
One does not go to the toilet;
Second, don't come to the door;
Three don't go to the table.
If you can observe the above three taboos, it won't be a problem.
Please note that Guanyin is vegetarian and fast, and only flowers and fruits are suitable for offering sacrifices. Therefore, if it is put with other gods, then other gods can't worship with three sacrifices. (3) Ancestors should not be on the same side as the gods: some people put photos of ancestral tablets on the table of the gods, on the same side as Guanyin, Guandi and Wong Tai Sin. In fact, this is not appropriate, because ancestors are only family gods, comparable to the difficulties of these gods. I think it is more appropriate to put ancestors under the gods! In a word, if people want to feel at ease, they should worship God. If you commit a crime and harm the world, you will always feel guilty even if you worship the gods all over the world. It is of no help at all! Do good deeds and accumulate virtue, even if you don't worship God, you can feel at ease and the evil spirits will be gone. Don't point the niche at the gate or rush it.
2, in a quiet place, the place should be quiet and tidy. It is best not to have audio, television and other things near the shrine or shrine.
3. Don't face the bed. Don't face the table. Kitchen, toilet, indecent behavior and animal products because of Bodhisattva. If the conditions are limited, some people put shrines or shrines in their bedrooms and block them with a yellow curtain when they sleep.
4. The niche or altar should be supported and the back should not be empty. The next door to the wall can't be a toilet or a kitchen.
5, shrines or altars should not be under the beam.
6. If possible, the shrine or altar should not be too low, and the height should be moderate.
7, the number of offerings, one can, not too much, for example, for gods such as bodhisattvas, bodhisattvas should be above the gods, because the level of the gods should be below the bodhisattva, and Buddha and Bodhisattva are supreme.
8. Orientation of niches or altars; Generally, don't put it at home, where the south faces west [a little bit in this direction is ok], and other directions are ok.
9. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas had better worship from west to east.
10, the problems that should be paid attention to in the sale; 1 number of incense, one incense is enough. Three is fine. If you are busy, you can start from scratch ... >>
Question 7: If there is any taboo to worship Buddha at home, it is important to worship Buddha sincerely, and there is no special requirement for the posture of worshipping Buddha.
2. There must be a Buddhist platform at home, and you can't bow down without it. Without a Buddhist platform, you can worship Buddha with incense.
3. A woman can't worship Buddha without taking a bath during her physiological period, otherwise it will be unclean and disrespectful to Buddha and Bodhisattva. You can take a bath first, and then worship Buddha in front of him.
4. Ladies must wear knee-length trousers when worshipping Buddha, and the upper body should not be exposed when wearing suspenders. Men must also wear decent clothes, not shorts or vests. You can worship Buddha barefoot or wear shoes, but you can't wear slippers.
5, only worship Buddha without chanting, and the effect of bodhisattva blessing is not good. For example, if a student wants to go to college, he always says in front of the principal, let me go to college, let me go to college, but if I don't study, I won't be admitted to college. Therefore, at the same time of worshipping Buddha, we should learn from Buddha and recite scriptures, so that we can really get the blessing of Bodhisattva.
6, the above is a strict practice, Buddhism is based on respect, so you plant respectful karma and naturally bear good results. If you feel that you are not doing well, you can ask Buddha and Bodhisattva for forgiveness. After worshipping Buddha, before standing up, read "seven buddha's Classic of Eliminating Crime" for 3-7 times.
7. I am willing to study and discuss Buddhism with you. You can contact by private letter.
Question 8: What is the emphasis on offering Guanyin at home? What offerings do you need to prepare to burn incense and worship Buddha? Generally enshrined in the living room and other clean places, not suitable for the bedroom, kitchen and other unclean places.
Generally, fruits, snacks and vegetarianism are chosen as tributes, but meat is not suitable. As long as the heart is respectful and pious, tribute is a form of expression. If there are no conditions, a glass of water will be fine.
Question 9: Are there any admirers in your family? Must worship God? Officials and businessmen like to worship God.
Question 10: What are the precautions for worshipping Bodhisattva? You can't practice Buddhism without precepts, and you can't practice Buddhism without precepts. Everything in the world is natural. Without discipline and law, without discipline and outline, everything is not worth it. Therefore, all Buddhists must not quit school, or think that they are bound by persistent things, so they should not go too far in falling into three evil ways. Be careful!
Rule number one: don't take a needle or thread in the temple.
If you receive a gift from Master, you can donate it to the merit box. The things in the temple are so small that even if you make a phone call in the temple and don't invest a dollar, it will be enough for you to go to hell. This is called Xiao Guo, and it's too late to regret it! Because small fruit is big, you can ascend to heaven and suffer in hell!
Rule 2: You are not allowed to pick fruits from the Temple Mount.
Many believers go to the mountains to worship Buddha every week, which is very religious. However, some people, who don't know the rules, drool when they see the fruit trees behind the temple full of ripe fruits. They couldn't help choosing their own food, and they committed the crime of stealing temple objects, which was enough to go to hell. You know, you can't eat anything without the permission of the donor. Believers don't take it back, and they don't make it clear that they want to support ten monks. This thing belongs to the original owner and can't be taken. Whoever takes it is guilty of stealing precepts and falling into evil ways!
Article 3: Smoking, wearing slippers, leather shoes and chewing betel nuts are not allowed when entering Buddhist temples.
It is often seen that many people smoke and chew betel nuts in the Buddhist temple, which is really disrespectful to the three treasures and defiles the tranquility of the Buddhist temple. You should know that the gas of cigarettes is quite toxic, which will cause cancer and disturb people's mood. Chewing betel nut is not only unsightly, but also pollutes the environment. There are eight guardians around the Buddhist temple. It is unforgivable to spit betel nut juice everywhere and pollute the holy land.
If you enter the Buddhist temple in the main hall, you should enter barefoot and wear ordinary shoes. When the Buddhist temple is dirty, it is not appropriate to enter the Buddhist temple, so as not to pollute the holy land. You should obey the rules.
A spit and a snot will burn in hell. All Buddhist disciples who keep precepts quietly and don't commit crimes can emit a sandalwood-like precept fragrance for a long time, which is full of fragrance and stretches for hundreds of miles, just like the signs of decline of Buddha and Bodhisattva. The fragrance fills the void and makes all beings sincerely offer sacrifices and worship.
Article 4: When entering the Buddhist temple, do not enter through the middle door, but through the side door.
It is polite not to step on the threshold when entering the temple. Confucius said, "A gentleman can't go without entering the middle gate." This Buddhist temple is the treasure house of the French king. When a Buddha enters a Buddhist temple, it is regarded as entering the imperial palace and visiting the emperor. He must abide by the etiquette in the temple and must not be solemn and casual, so as not to violate the crime of disrespecting the three treasures.
Article 5: When entering a Buddhist temple, you are not allowed to look up at the Buddha's face, bow your head to worship immediately, and you are not allowed to wander around and look around.
Article 6: Don't make noise, shout, lie down, lie down, run or jump in the Buddhist temple.
Article 7: When entering a Buddhist temple, don't spit or blow your nose.
There are many bodhisattvas living around the Buddhist temple. The environment is clean and pollution-free, and people's saliva and nose are filthy. If you spit and blow your nose everywhere in the Buddhist temple, it will pollute the holy land, cause air pollution, spread germs and hurt the monk's treasure. You suffered in hell, as evidenced by the scriptures. The monk said, "In the Buddhist land, you spit on the ground, so entering is karma." If you want to spit and blow your nose, wrap it in toilet paper and put it in the trash can, or spit on the sink and rinse it with water. !
Article 8: If you enter a Buddhist temple and go around the Buddha, you will get Five Blessingg.
Anyone who enters a Buddhist temple must immediately bow down to the Buddha or sing the Buddha's name around him. Buddha said: there are five kinds of blessings: first, future generations should have a good look; Second, they should have good timbre; Third, they should be born in the sky; Fourth, be born in a royal family; Fifth, they should be born in nirvana. The direction around the Buddha should be from right to left. Go in and out immediately after worshipping Buddha, and don't make any noise.
Article 9: Food for temples should be donated.
Every temple that coincides with Bodhisattva's birthday and holds a disaster relief meeting will prepare a vegetarian feast and become attached to all beings; Or go to the temple to eat at ordinary times, you should donate merit money, because the food you eat is donated by ten good people and should not be eaten for nothing; Many people have this common problem of gluttony, thinking that it is right to give people a vegetarian diet without donating money at festivals in Buddhist temples, so they have committed the crime of stealing vegetables. When you plant the roots of hell unconsciously, be careful! (Non-monks are not allowed to support)
Article 10: If a stick leans against the wall, all the fruits will be lost.
In the past, Shiva Shedo, the 25th ancestor of India, once won the place of Siddhartha, but when he went to the Buddhist temple to worship Buddha, his staff head leaned against the wall and was destroyed for life, not to mention an ordinary person who committed this crime. There is no doubt that there will be retribution for falling into evil ways! Therefore, before entering the Buddhist temple to worship Buddha, you should put your belongings, clothes, hats and handbags on the ground, and then bow down to worship Buddha, feeling innocent. It is only a small gesture to report karma, but the difference in results is huge! You ... >>
