Nowadays, many people like to bring invited animals to open the light, thinking that it will be more auspicious.

In fact, this is superstition, real superstition, and we can't be confused about this matter.

Look at the correct explanation of martial arts in Buddhism.

When you see brave people who know how to live within their means and how to save, and prove it, you will be enlightened. It is the brave dog that gives you light, not you. You've got the meaning backwards.

A regular monastery will not give light to the brave. Light means wisdom.

It's not just light, it's not possible without light. This is a superstitious statement.

Buddhism is Buddha's education, not philosophy, not religion, but education!

Enlightenment in Buddhism refers to the bright wisdom of opening ourselves. The function of the ceremony is to tell you the origin of the statue, the true meaning of the image, and how we can learn to practice it. That's all, there is no mystery. This ceremony can be grand and simple, with or without it.

The traditional culture of China mascots has a long history and rich contents. Buddhism didn't shine, but it was the product of Buddhism's introduction into China and its integration into China's local culture. But it is fundamentally different from the opening ceremony in China folk customs. In China folklore, the opening ceremony is the completion ceremony, which is what we often say. It makes the craft mascot a function that can adjust the feng shui atmosphere, play its role of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, and make people reach the ideal and perfect realm.

Therefore, Buddhism is education, but it is regarded as superstition, pathetic!

It is a superstition, but it is regarded as a means to get rich. What a pity!

There are too many upside-down chaos in this society. . .
