The Buddha Speaks of Ananda’s Discipline Sutra
“As a disciple of the Buddha, I am not allowed to ask for divination, pray for evil spirits, spells, disgusting monsters, and worship in the temple, and I am not allowed to choose a good time and a good day.”
Some folk misunderstandings and pretences will make people associate fortune telling, Feng Shui, lottery, and incense manuals with Buddhism. In fact, this is not the original intention of Buddhism, let alone what Buddhism promises to its disciples< /p>
Buddhism believes that people’s lives are determined by their own behaviors and thoughts. The Upasaka Sutra says: All living beings are caused by practicing good deeds. To receive peace and happiness. It’s not a yearly stay. In fact, in the simplest way of thinking, most people born at the same time have different destinies. The birthdays of most famous people can be exactly the same as those of poor people on the other side of the world. Can we say that this is a horoscope? Is it effective?
As for the Avalokitesvara Lotus, its inscriptions are more allusions to Chinese history, which is very different from orthodox Buddhism. I believe some temples have their own reasons and compulsions. This is the compassion of eminent monks and great virtues. ,
But when we understand the truth, why don’t we give up the wrong ideas? The original intention of the Buddha is to tell all living beings to understand life and change their destiny. Only by possessing the Buddha's right view can we have a happy and fulfilling life.
Master Huilü once taught
Life is meaningless without hearing the Dharma.
Having heard about the way to liberation but failing to follow it is the greatest tragedy in life!
