What does it mean to worship Buddha?

Worshiping Buddha means worshiping Buddha and repenting for the karma we have created. It is a special method to eliminate obstacles, remove disasters, and increase blessings and wisdom.

1. There are many ways to worship Buddha, including carving Buddha statues, offering donations to pagodas and temples and images of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, praising the majesty of Buddha statues, singing the praises of Buddha's virtues, or playing wonderful music with various musical instruments, joining hands, bowing, kneeling, etc.

2. Generally speaking, there are two ways to worship Buddha: one is to have a Buddhist temple, a quiet room, or a living room with statues of Buddha or Bodhisattva. If there is no one (such as soldiers living in barracks, single workers outside, or people living in large dormitories), you can go outdoors or into the open air, face west, put your palms together, greet, and then recite ten times (recite the Buddha's and Bodhisattva's holy names ten times in one breath). It is best to keep the Buddha's name in your mind while walking, standing, sitting or lying down.

3. Before worshiping Buddha, you must first wash your hands and burn incense.

What are the benefits of worshipping Buddha?

Worshiping Buddha can lead to Buddhahood.

1. Among them, kneeling and worshiping Buddha has the greatest merit, except for the so-called "superstition" of those who slander Buddhism and have no affinity with Buddha. Of course, we do not admit that believing in Buddhism is "superstition", because believing in Buddhism is not "superstition" at all. It can face today's rapidly changing science. Even with the smallest effect and benefit, it can strengthen the weak body, especially for those with unhealthy internal organs (such as patients with stomach problems), rheumatism in the knees, and colds and nasal congestion. If you often prostrate yourself to the Buddha, your recovery speed will be immediate.

2. All those who believe in Buddhism must have previous roots and good karma. Today they are Bodhisattvas in the causal stage, and in the future they can attain Buddhahood early. Since we are the future Buddhas, we should believe in ourselves, respect ourselves, and achieve success - all the benefits we gain will belong to ourselves. It is very cost-effective to worship more and pay more respect to Buddha. As stated in the "Sutra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva": "Give one and gain ten thousand in return."
