Where should the Buddha statue at home be enshrined? If you have many houses, you should leave a Buddhist temple to support the Buddha; If there are not many rooms, they can be provided in the living room. The living room is on the top floor. What's the difference? Sit in this seat and let's go into the house. At first glance, this direction is up.
Sacrificing Buddha statues has two important meanings, which must be understood. The first is to always remind yourself of respect, which is very important! Respect is the expression of human nature. You often read "all aspects" in reading books. Buddha and Bodhisattva are sincere and respectful to people and things! Are we sincere and respectful to people and things?
Sincere respect for all people and things, this person is Buddha and Bodhisattva. I like this man, and I respect him a little; That man is my sworn enemy, and I hate him to death. This is an ordinary person.
All buddhas and bodhisattvas are respected, and their decisions are equal and pure, and there is no dispute. So we worship the Buddha statue, because we are respectful to the Buddha, and we immediately thought: I want to be respectful to all sentient beings and everything.
The scripture says: All beings become Buddhas. Therefore, you should respect every living being like a Buddha. This is the first meaning of offering Buddha statues, which is called true offering. This Buddha statue determines good luck!
The second meaning of worshipping Buddha statues is to repay gratitude. Buddha is our first teacher, and we can get the extraordinary benefits of Buddhism today. Don't forget the fundamental teacher. So we worship Buddha, not as a god, but as a teacher. As soon as I see the Buddha statue, I want to realize that I want to learn Buddha!
The Buddha statue there reminds me not to be fascinated, and that's its significance. Secondly, when I saw this Buddha statue, I knew I was a Buddha myself. I don't think that I am a Buddha; I am imagining things. I am an ordinary person. Therefore, becoming a Buddha and ordinary people is between your own thoughts!
