To be a true Buddhist, you must first learn to worship the Buddha. At the beginning, it is necessary to be clear why you want to worship, otherwise, you will not know what it means to worship the Buddha after worshipping the Buddha for a lifetime.

"Buddha" means a fully enlightened, fully open, omniscient being. When we worship the Buddha, our hands are like a lotus flower, and the lotus flower is not stained by the mud, indicating that the Buddha is not tainted by the habit of samsara, and another meaning is that we compare the inherent Nālaizang of our mind to a lotus flower. Putting my hands on my chest is to unite our palms with my heart, which means that my heart is also a lotus flower, but it is also polluted by greed, hatred, naivety, jealousy, arrogance, and other disturbing emotions and obstacles to knowledge, that is, before these habits are broken, the Buddha nature is like a lotus flower in the mud. As we learn Buddhism and practice, learn to be compassionate to sentient beings, and learn to give, keep vows, endure humiliation, diligently, meditate, and wisdom of emptiness, all the obstacles of knowledge and afflictions in samsara will be slowly removed. After purifying the obstacles and pollution, the nature of the mind is like a lotus flower that comes out of the mud without staining.

Underneath the head is the body, and since the beginningless time the body has created a lot of negative karma for killing, stealing, fornication, and so on. Placing your hands together on top of your head signifies repentance of all the karma that your body has done, as well as a complete refuge in the Buddha's all-knowing wisdom and compassion. Then, the palm of the hand moves downward, stopping between the throat and the mouth. The mouth and throat are the places where the language is spoken, and they represent all the sins of repentance of the language, such as false speech, gossip, double tongue, and bad mouth. The other implication is that because the Buddha's Brahma sound comes out of the mouth, we have to fulfill it as well. If the words of the Buddha are perfect, there is no obstacle in speaking well. Moving further down, the palms are placed in front of the chest again, representing the repentance of the karma created by the heart, such as greed, hatred, and evil views.

Then we bow down and bow down, with our forehead, palms, and knees, which are the so-called five bodies. When the five bodies touch the earth, we visualize the five poisons of greed, hatred, ignorance, jealousy, and arrogance being completely purified in the present moment. If you do a big prostration, you stretch your whole body straight on the ground, which means that you have completely repented not only of the five poisons, but also of all the obstacles of knowledge and afflictions. When we stand up, it symbolizes the desire to receive all the wisdom of the Buddha, including body, mouth, mind, career, merits, and so on.

In this way, on the one hand, we repent of our karma, and on the other hand, we worship the Buddha with gratitude, so that we can truly achieve our goal of eliminating our karma and increasing our good fortune.

We are used to lighting butter lamps in Tibet, and as a believer, this is a form of faith, a way of practice, and a form of pious offering. The Buddha doesn't eat these fruits, he doesn't want these incense, these lamps, he doesn't need these things, because the Buddha doesn't eat the fireworks of the world. It is very special to make these pure offerings with our devotion to us, and that is enough, but the main thing is to slowly change in our hearts. By making offerings to the Buddha, the Buddha statue can remind us that the Buddha we follow has a great mind and spirit, and that the Buddha's great compassion and compassion and the Buddha's tolerance for sentient beings are worthy of our study, and this is the true practice. If we worship the Buddha in a worldly way, we will go astray again, and this is called superstition. Buddhism has long advocated breaking down superstitions. Because once people are superstitious, everything is messed up. Buddhism has a long history and a complete heritage culture, as well as reasonable rules and teachings, and if we can have good fortune and really touch and cut into it, we will increase wisdom and sublimate the soul.

Our devotion is like a container that can hold water, and its size determines its capacity. When carrying French nectar in a vessel of devotion, the greater the faith, the more it can carry. But there is also a premise, if our piety is still mixed with our own pride, vanity, and other habits, just like a container that has been soaked, if we want to hold pure water, then we have to clean the container first, and then we need to repent and reflect on our own karma and habits. Later, when the container is clean and transparent, when the French nectar is contained in the container of our own nature, it can appear different and transparent.
