How to consecrate the zodiac Buddha? Steps and taboos to know before consecration

How to consecrate the zodiac Buddha? Each zodiac sign has its own patron saint, that is, the natal Buddha. Only after the natal Buddha has been consecrated can it have the effect of warding off evil and praying for blessings. Next, let us look at the methods and taboos of consecrating the zodiac Buddha.

How to consecrate the zodiac Buddha

Preparation before the opening ceremony

1. Because consecration is a ritual to infuse spiritual energy into a lucky charm, the timing of consecration is very important. Generally speaking, you should choose the time period between 7 and 9 in the morning. Because this time is exactly the Chen time, which is commonly known as the "Dragon Raising its Head" time, it is the most favorable time period of the day.

2. Generally, the consecration ceremony is very cautious. You cannot perform the consecration yourself. You must invite a senior monk who has practiced for many years to do it. In Buddhism, only monks who have practiced in the temple for at least 20 years are qualified to perform the consecration ceremony.

3. When consecrating a mascot, in addition to choosing the right time, it is also very important to choose the right Feng Shui platform for the consecration. Before placing the consecrated zodiac Buddha, you must first wash your hands to show respect. Then, senior monks recited scriptures and performed the consecration ceremony.

4. The time for consecration is generally 45 minutes. The next step is to recite scriptures, using auspicious scriptures that are conducive to mental health to achieve the consecration effect. Only the natal Buddha that has been consecrated can have the effect of praying for blessings and warding off evil spirits.

The process of consecration

1. Prepare the ritual, including ritual implements, cinnabar, writing brushes, a new evil-dispelling mirror, willow branches, clean water (dew), and a new towel.

2. Choose an auspicious time based on religious beliefs, then start chanting scriptures, praying, and sprinkling clean water on the zodiac Buddha with willow branches.

3. Use a new towel to wipe around your zodiac Buddha three times clockwise and three times counterclockwise. It means removing old information from the past, purifying the mascot, and injecting aura into the mascot.

4. Recite scriptures, use the mirror to reflect the light, shine it on your natal Buddha, introduce it into the consecrated natal Buddha, purify again the old information that has not been completely eliminated, and inject spiritual energy and yang energy into the natal Buddha.

5. Finally, use a brush to apply cinnabar to the zodiac Buddha.

Things to note when consecrating your natal Buddha

1. The natal Buddha itself is spiritual and likes cleanliness. Therefore, the environment for placing the consecrated zodiac Buddha must be clean and tidy.

2. Once you have consecrated your natal Buddha and wear it, do not let others touch it to avoid being adversely affected by other people's aura.

3. If the consecrated Buddha statue is accidentally contaminated, it is best to wipe it with light salt water and then dry it in the sun for an hour between 11:00 and 13:00.

4. If the consecrated natal Buddha statue is damaged after being worn correctly, it means that you will encounter unlucky things during this period, and the damage means that it has taken effect. The damaged natal Buddha statue can be collected and placed at the bottom of the wardrobe.
