The statue of Buddha, God, etc. faded, old or broken and mutilated, does not affect our faith, but also can be provided (including the gods. For example, Guan Yu, in Buddhism, belongs to the Guru Bodhisattva, is also the guardian deity). Because Buddha and Bodhisattva are still real, we as disciples can not have a mind of disdain, imagine, if it is "Mom and Dad are old, the clothes are discolored, the body is not working, let's throw Mom and Dad! Imagine if we were to say, "Let's throw them away! How are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas the same as parents to a Buddhist disciple? The parents gave us life, and we can only live in chaos; the Buddha gave us life, so that we can be enlightened, can transcend the cycle of reincarnation without falling back into the six paths, which is a greater kindness than parents.
So once a statue of a Buddha, a god, or a painting is old and broken, or we don't want to worship it, or we can't worship it because of other reasons such as moving house, going abroad, etc., the way to deal with it is as follows:
1. First of all, you can ask your friends or monks around you if they have any need for it, and then you can give it to your friends, and it is a kind of good deed to make a connection with Buddha. Of course, some people do not know enough, not willing to accept other people have been enshrined in the Buddha statue, that, although it is a misunderstanding, there is no need to force.
2, the best way is to send to the nearby monastery, please the monks in the temple on behalf of the treatment;
3, or ask the temple's Dharma Circulation Office priests on behalf of the transfer of karmic ties.
4, if there is no nearby monastery, you can also send to the next mountain, the higher the better, the best under the tree or stone wall, placed squarely, there are mountain gods and land and passer-by fairy guardian, the so-called "but there is a statue of Buddha, there will be the protector of the Dharma God," which is the meaning of this.
5, of course, if you can not afford to or may have to use in the future, you can also use the red cloth wrapped up boxed (do not invert), in the living room, study, attic and other places to store, the top of the top do not press something else to keep our respect.
