Buddhist Story: Buddhism and Worship: Orthodox Faith and Superstition

Truth and superstition

Our discussion of "Buddhism and worship" is a matter of faith.Human beliefs are of many aspects, including academic beliefs, religious beliefs, and political beliefs. For example, we deeply believe that the Three Principles of the People created by the founding of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, is to save the country and the people, and admire this theory, which is called believing in the Three Principles of the People; we deeply believe that only when science is developed in the world can prosper and progress, and admire science, which is called believing in science; we deeply believe that only the merciful Buddhism mentioned by Sakyamuni Buddha is the most complete and ultimate religion, and when one admires Buddhism, it is called believing in Buddhism.

Faith is born from our wishes, so in our democratic and free world, faith in religion is absolutely free.Therefore ***Article 13 of the Constitution clearly states: "The people have the freedom to believe in religion."Since the national constitution has given the people this kind of sacred freedom, which religion should the people choose to be worthy of our faith?

The so-called "religion" here is a teaching method that in response to the needs of human beings in the world, a saint was born, established extremely noble and great, and allowed people to escape suffering and gain happiness.For example, Buddhism teaches people to be aware of others and save themselves, which is a supreme religion.

That is, because Buddhism is a noble and great religion, many things in society have emerged that are not Buddhism but are forced to say that they are Buddhism.For example, those who believe in worship say that they are Buddhism; those who are called "spoken and left-minded" also say that they are Buddhism; those who take things out of context, make mistakes, and steal scriptures and slander Buddha and destroy monks also say that they are Buddhism, and there are countless such things.These fake Buddhism have brought great confusion and irreparable damage to the world.Therefore, in order to save the people, our government has repeatedly persuaded and banned it.

Therefore, we have the need to distinguish between righteous faith and superstition, so that we will not be able to separate the jade.Here we are talking about the issue of worship, and the scope does not need to be too broad, so we will discuss it back to the question itself.

The so-called "right faith" is neither evil nor confused, and is called righteousness.The righteous are saints. Taking the heart of a saint as one’s own heart, the way of a saint is for one’s own way, and the behavior of a saint himself, admiring the saints, and believing in the teachings of the saints is called righteous faith.

Right faith is wisdom and faith. With your own wisdom, you can identify whether what you are exposed to is the teachings of the saints? Or is it not the teachings of the saints? If it is not the saints, but the cult, you must abandon it; if it is the right path and the saints, you must believe it deeply, take refuge and follow it, and get the benefits of the saints and ours.

「The person who is confused, confused, confused, confused, and reluctant to leave. He does not understand things that he does not know or thinks mysterious, but blindly expresses his faith.For example, those who believe in immortals, spirits, gods, ghosts, monsters and monsters in the world are called superstition.

Worship because of superstition, worship because of persistence but not knowing to give up, and worship again after being obsessed with it, this is called superstition worship.For example, the killing and worship of Taiwanese people is superstitious worship.

Therefore, superstition is not Buddhism. Superstition worship is not Buddhist Dharma.

Buddha is awakening.Buddhism is the one who guides people to be good, enlightens the mystery and enlightens the truth of life and universe.Buddhism will never believe in worshipping. Anyone who believes in worshiping is definitely not true Buddhism.
