Is the offering of supernatural offerings to the Buddha and the Bodhisattvas effective? How to do it right? Nowadays, many people believe in the cause-and-effect of the New Testament Therefore, many people are interested in doing good deeds such as offering to the Buddha, offering to the Bodhisattvas, offering to the Bodhisattvas or offering supernatural offerings to the spiritual beings who have passed away Are these things effective? How to do it right? Everyone has a spiritual heart and wants to offer to the Buddha and the Bodhisattvas so that they and their families can be safe and receive the blessings of the Buddha and the Bodhisattvas However, because we don't fully understand the words of the Buddha and of the elders, the disciples of the Buddha during their days of Lantern Lifting, we cannot avoid the belief that each person is a type So how can we do the offering to the Buddha and the Bodhisattvas correctly? How can the Buddha, the Abhidharma, accept the offering to the Buddha and the Bodhisattvas? What should we do with the offerings to the Buddha and the Bodhisattvas for the poor? Let's experience the stories of the Buddha to understand the answer Buddha taught the poor to practice bodhichitta A poor man asked Buddha Why are you so poor? Buddha replied Because I haven't learned how to practice bodhichitta for others The poor man asked If you don't have anything, how can you practice bodhichitta? Buddha replied Even if you don't have anything You can still practice bodhichitta for these seven things Bodhisattva Bodhisattva's smile Use a happy face Smile kindly to people around Bodhisattva Bodhisattva's words Use gentle words Be honest with others Bodhisattva Bodhisattva's heart Use a kind, generous, honest heart Treat others Bodhisattva Bodhisattva's eyes Use kind eyes Cheerful like looking at others Bodhisattva Bodhisattva's body Help others Do what you can Bodhisattva Bodhisattva's seat Leave a seat for others Bodhisattva's room For people in need I think anyone can do this kind of bodhisattva This is the manifestation of kindness Because kindness is the best bodhisattva Every day, when I do this kind of work I will be blessed Because as the old saying goes A person who does a good deed Even if happiness hasn't come yet, happiness has left A person who does a bad deed Even if happiness hasn't come yet, happiness has left Bodhisattva Kajep Teach the poor to worship the Buddha One day Bodhisattva Kajep Went to a temple Met a very poor old woman No house No friend In the corner of the alley Dark That day She was sick Almost lying on the bed Not sitting up As if she was vomiting The place where she was lying There were many broken bricks A passer-by often saw the old woman Pour rice water on the broken bricks For the old woman to drink when she was hungry Bodhisattva Kajep Saw the old woman Went to the temple The old woman saw the Bodhisattva Trying to sit up Breathing Asking What about the poor? I am very weak Not able to eat Not able to cover myself Lying waiting to die What do I have to worship here? Bodhisattva Kajep Told the old woman Today I came to ask for your food To help you If I give you food Money It will only make you poorer But if you give me a little bit now Then you have achieved great virtue In time, you can be reborn into a rich family Or go to heaven Happiness lasts a long time The old woman listened to Bodhisattva Kajep She was moved But she couldn't find anything To offer to the Bodhisattva She said I am grateful for your teaching But I couldn't find any food Or clothes to offer Bodhisattva Kajep said Poor people Must be rich But don't want to give away Hearing that The old woman was overjoyed Her hands were full of broken bricks And a little rice water For the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva Kajep accepted And drank it in front of the old woman After that The old woman died And became a saint Why did the offering of rice water To the Bodhisattva Give her such a great blessing? First She offered it with a pure heart With joy Second That little rice water Was her only offering It could extend her life A little bit more But she still offered it with joy Third The Bodhisattva Kajep Was still in a sad state Like a normal poor monk But the day had come It wasn't an ordinary offering But an offering to the Bodhisattva That's why the old woman Became a saint The Buddha Wrote a story about another Bodhisattva Who also taught the poor How to make an offering to the Bodhisattva When you don't have money In the story It was written that Once the Bodhisattva Kajenjien Met a poor woman She was beaten by her master So she committed suicide The Bodhisattva advised her The woman said I'm a poor person I've been suffering all my life I'm exhausted I don't want to live anymore The Bodhisattva advised her Poor people are not sure they are unhappy Rich people are not sure they are happy To be a human being You only need to live with a pure heart A pure soul That is a kind of joy and goodness Why should you be sad? The woman said You should know that I'm a slave I work around the clock all month I don't have enough to eat I don't have freedom My master He was both stingy and cruel If he did something wrong If he didn't beat me He would have shot me These sufferings Are all because of poverty How can I not be sad for him? The Bodhisattva Kajenjien said You should know that The poverty of human life Has a cause Why are poor people poor? Because in the past They were not poor and happy Why are rich people poor? Because in the past They were not poor and happy So being poor and happy Is the best way to get rid of poverty And become rich The woman said You are right But I'm so poor I have nothing How can I be poor? The Bodhisattva replied You don't have to spend money You can fill a bottle with water And bring it to my temple But this bottle is not mine It belongs to my master The bottle belongs to the master But the water in it Was brought by you The woman was so happy She didn't have anything She just didn't have money But she still had strength Health Kindness She always had a chance To change her destiny These things Brought good luck To many people The woman went to the river To wash the water bottle She filled it with water And offered it to the master Since then She did what the master told her to do Offering water By offering water to the dead After that She went to heaven and was happy The Buddha said To make a great offering to the Buddha The third king thought To make a great offering to the Buddha Hoping that the Buddha could pay off his debt And be free from reincarnation The Buddha accepted the offer And asked the king to prepare two bottles One filled with oil And the other filled with rock He used a cloth to cover the bottle After that The Buddha told the king To drop the two bottles into the river And break them The oil poured on the water And the rock sank deep into the river The Buddha asked If the Buddha made all the offerings Could the oil sink And the rock rise? The king replied No The Buddha asked why The king replied Because it's a natural law The oil always rises on the water And the rock always sinks The Buddha said There is no difference between us and nature We are all part of nature In fact If our ancestors made a mistake And didn't pay off their debt Then their remaining years Would be like the rocks They would sink deep into the water And do all the good deeds Like the oil rising on the water Not only this life But there are many other lives They have to bear the consequences The Buddha said This natural law Can be changed by any offering By any ritual The Buddha said Even if I am a Buddha I can't change it Only good deeds Can help you open the door And escape The Buddha said Only the King Tích Đức Can do many good deeds Only the King Tích Đức Can atone for his sins And have a chance to escape So Offering a lot of money To a close relative Is just a ritual With a small effect The real effect Is to encourage the living To do many good deeds To benefit themselves And to reduce the suffering For the deceased From the teachings of the Buddha And the scholars About offering the bed Offering the bed When the body and the family Is revived The only way Is to become an ascetic And do good All offering the bed The offering All are useless If there's no good If the hidden purpose Of offering the clothes Is to benefit yourself To ask for health To live a comfortable life To earn money To grow wealth To improve your position Not to become an ascetic And redeem the sins Then though the bed is bent even gold can't be considered a good deed Why was the offering of the bed to the monk so blessed? Because, like the above two stories, those two monks, although they were miserable monks, had already received the blessing of the Buddha What if they were ordinary monks? They probably wouldn't have been so blessed And if the monk accepted the offering of the bed and didn't practice, didn't suffer, and used that money for charity, then that offering of the bed would not only be useless, but could also be sinful Dear brothers and sisters, after listening to the above stories, what do you think about the offering of the bed and the offering of the Buddha?
