The benefits of lamps

Buddha tools 2025-05-11

Take refuge in Buddha, take refuge in Dharma, take refuge in Sangha.

Take refuge in Buddha, two-footed deity.

Take refuge in the Dharma and be free from desires.

Take refuge in the Sangha, the most honorable.

Take refuge in Buddha and never fall into hell.

Take refuge in the law and do not fall into evil spirits.

Take refuge in the Sangha and do not fall into the world.

Take refuge in Buddha, take refuge in Dharma, take refuge in Sangha.

《The Ten Wheels of Ksitigarbha Sutra says that all the comforting tools, all benefits and happiness in the world come from offerings to the Three Jewels;Therefore, those who pursue comfort and benefit should always be diligent in offering sacrifices to Buddha, Dharma, and monks.

What are the merits of burning lamps to offer Buddha?

The Buddha said in the "Sutra of the Differentiation of Karma for Elder Kazakhs":

「If any sentient beings give lights, they will obtain ten kinds of merits: one is to shine like a lamp in the world;Second, follow the place where it is born, and the naked eye is not damaged;The third is obtained from the eyes of heaven;Fourth, gain intelligence in good and evil laws;Fifth, eliminate the great evil;Sixth, to obtain intelligence and wisdom;Seventh, the reincarnation of the world is often not in the dark place;Eight, great blessings;Nine, life is the heaven;Ten means to achieve Nirvana quickly."

The second volume of the parable scriptures:

However, after the Buddha's Nirvana, a thief wanted to steal the property from the Buddhist temple. He accidentally found that the lamp in front of the Buddha was about to go out, so he used an arrow to straighten the lamp to restore the light to the Buddha's lamp. When the Buddha's lamp was bright, he saw the solemn Buddha statue and felt creepy. Therefore, he thought to himself: "If someone else comes here to ask for blessings, how can I steal my personal use?"After he left the Buddhist temple, he turned his mind to be kind.

During the ninety-one kalpas, evil thoughts and bad habits gradually disappeared, and blessings continued to increase. They were often born in good places. Later, they listened to the Buddha's teachings and attained the holy fruit;He is the best Venerable Analu, who is the best in the Heavenly Eye.Because he used arrows to direct the lamps, he could see the Buddha and become a monk and realize the fruit of Tao, and become the first in the divine eye.

Therefore, even if you just use the arrow to turn the lamp, you will get such great blessings, let alone give up the money you love with your sincere heart and burn the lamp in front of the Buddha, the blessings will be even more incredible.

《The Bodhisattva Sutra says:

「Light ten thousand lamps to repent and eliminate all sins”. The lamp is a symbol of wisdom and light;The Buddha said that the lamp was used to offer the Buddha, and it was one of the important offerings in Buddhism.I hope that through the explanation and meaning of the lamp, the "self-nature lamp" can ignite the "self-nature lamp" in your heart.The lamp burns in front of the Buddha, which is the intelligent paramita used to mark the Buddha.

People live in the three realms, and their thoughts are all about creating karma, especially the ignorance since time immemorial. If they do not have great wisdom, they cannot be illuminated.Therefore, it is necessary to light a lamp to offer to the Buddha and ignite our hearts with the Buddha's intelligent beacon, and it must be constantly and continuously.Especially in this Dharma-Ending Age, sentient beings are not only generally dull in nature, but also commit serious sins.The endless social problems show that people cannot be at peace for a moment under the three poisons of greed, anger and ignorance caused by ignorance.

Therefore, it is really the most urgent thing to use the Buddha's wisdom lamp to illuminate the obsessed self in order to seek intelligence.Once the light of one's wisdom is lit, it will illuminate all darkness and the light will appear clearly, and peace, auspiciousness, four joys, five blessings, and seven wealth will naturally come in a steady stream without waiting for prayers.

The bright future of Prajna, the intelligent peace of life, the harmonious family, the peaceful world of society, not created by God, its accomplishment and destruction are in all beings themselves.

One person gives lamps to Buddha, and one person receives benefits;

One family gives lamps and offers to Buddha, and one family benefits;

Everyone gives lamps to Buddha, and everyone receives blessings;

Every family gives lamps to Buddha, and every family receives blessings.

Buddhist children!

You light up, I light up, let us light up the Prajna light in front of the Buddha!As long as there is a lamp, the compassionate light of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will shine naturally.

I wish to eliminate all the three obstacles and all the troubles,

May you gain wisdom and true wisdom,

All the sins of the general wish are eliminated.

I always practice the Bodhisattva path for generations.
