What I am talking about now is a simple lesson routine for us to practice. If the formal offering method, or even the name method of the medicine fork god with five-colored threads, etc., I will write a separate volume in the future to devote myself to this matter, but I will not mention it now.
Those who wish to practice the Medicine Buddha Tathagata method should provide a statue of the Medicine Buddha Tathagata. The place where the image is offered should not be in the bedroom; If you have to worship in the bedroom, you should cover the statue with a clean cloth while sleeping.
The "Medicine Buddha Sutra" is placed on the table, and when not reciting, it should be covered with a clean cloth.
The room for the Buddha statue must be very clean, sweep the floor every day, and often wipe the table.
To offer incense to the Buddha, one must choose the best one with fragrance.
The flowers offered to the Buddha must be selected to be open and complete, and if they are slightly wilted, they will be removed; The water in the vase should be changed daily, and if there are no flowers, you can replace it with a paper one.
In addition, such as providing clean water and food, etc., according to each person's wishes. However, the food provided must be edible for people, such as unripe fruits and uncooked vegetables.
The offerings mentioned above should be offered in advance before worshiping the Buddha. When making offerings or worshiping Buddha in front of the Buddha, you must wash your hands and rinse your mouth first.
In addition, it is even better if you can hang a flag and light a lamp, or if you don't have one.
Briefly describe the practice of the curriculum, which is divided into seven courses. thereinto
Respect, admiration, offering, dedication, and vows must be done; You can chant scriptures, hold names, and chant mantras according to your own wishes, or practice only two methods, or only practice one method.
1. Respect
The three treasures of the ten directions are bowed once, or the Buddhist monks are worshipped three times. The master Shakyamuni Buddha bowed once, and the medicine master Liuliguang Tathagata bowed three times. In addition, if you want to worship more or pay homage to other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, you can increase it as you wish.
When paying respects, you must be sincere and respectful, bow slowly, do not be in a hurry, and it is better to bow less than hastily.
2. Admiration
After the worship, he knelt before the Buddha and joined his palms, singing a verse of praise:
Return to the full moon realm Pure and wonderful glass venerable
The magic medicine saves people because of the twelve vows
Compassion and vows to save all beings
I would like to express my commendation and salute
The upper verse comes from the "Medicine Buddha Tathagata's Chanting Ritual for Eliminating Disasters and Eliminating Difficulties", and when singing and praising, the voice should be slow and solemn.
3. Support
After the praise, he knelt before the Buddha and joined his palms, singing the offering verse:
May this fragrant flower cloud fill the ten directions
One by one, the Buddha land is solemn and immeasurable
Complete the Bodhisattva path to achieve the Tathagata's incense
After the offering, you may add the "Confession" to your own wishes, or you can omit it.
4. Chanting
The pronunciation of the characters should not be misunderstood; it should be examined carefully.
When reciting scriptures, it is acceptable to kneel, stand, sit, or walk.
5. Maintain a name
The first verse of praise was sung:
The Medicine Buddha Tathagata is glazed and the flame net is solemn and unparalleled
boundless wishes, profits, and sentient beings, and they do not retreat what they want
He continued to say, "Nanwu Oriental Pure Glass World Medicine Master Liuliguang Tathagata", and from now on, he will recite the name of "Medicine Master Liuliguang Tathagata" one hundred and eight times, if you want to recite more, feel free.
6. Holding mantras
Or according to the translation of the scriptures, or according to the original Sanskrit sound of the teacher, it is possible.
or recite the full mantra one hundred and eight times; Or first recite the full mantra seven times, then the heart mantra one hundred and eight times, and then recite the full mantra seven times. The heart mantra is the text below the word om in the mantra.
Without the teachings of Tantric Buddhism, one cannot make a handprint; anyone who ties the seal without permission is guilty of a serious crime.
When chanting mantras, do not shout loudly, but let your own ears hear it.
When chanting mantras, sitting is a formal practice, or it can be practiced.
7. Make a vow to the dedication
The return and vow are the same, so they are now being held together. The slight difference is that to return, one must first cultivate merit, and then use this merit to dedicate oneself, hoping for what to do. If one has not done merit beforehand, it can only be said that they have made a vow.
Making vows is the most important thing for practitioners. If one does not turn back, the merits of previous cultivation will not be returned. Nowadays, those who practice the Medicine Buddha Tathagata Method, the vows of dedication are according to their own wishes. All the information contained in the "Medicine Master Sutra" can be opened, and you should read the scriptures carefully to suit your needs. The above practice ritual is performed once or twice a day. It must be sincere and not sloppy. Old Master Yinguang said: "If you have a little respect, you will get a little benefit; There is a lot of respect, and you get a lot of benefits. "We, those who practice the Medicine Buddha Tathagata's method, should deeply understand these words in order to seek more blessings for ourselves.
