Update: 07/03/2019
On this occasion, Buddhists had a chance to meet the Abbot Junior Venerable Thich Quang Hy at Lang Thanh pagoda who had a speech to the mass with the topic “Merit of prostrating the Buddha”. He shared that prostrating the Buddha is a simple practice for us to have a chance to “observe our inner minds, eliminate our ego and transfer our karma”. From this, we could look back ourselves and kept cultivating to gain a lot of benefits such as: making the blood running smooth, staying away from diseases and also reducing our ego effectively.
It is an extremely benefit when prostrating the Buddha
Helping running blood and making the mental peaceful.
Gaining both merits and health.
Light mind on everyday with this practice.
In the modern life with the progress of science, the industrial life, machinery and material facilities have replaced the human’s power. People are sedentary, chase many material needs, get so much pressure, especially those who works as offices and its work in one place have no time to live comfortably with nature; their minds are easy to be stressful and so their whole body muscles are stiffened naturally. In addition, due to lack of exercise, the spine column becomes rigid, difficult to bend, from which the backbones are fibrous and narrowed, pressing on the compression of nerves and blood vessels, causing for nutrients and oxygen that cannot reach the cells in the internal organs, the disease is easy to develop and cancer cells have many chances to increase.
Prostrating the Buddha is the way of convenient cultivation. We do not need to go to the pagoda, we can do it at any quiet place. That makes us ease our minds, practice whole our body from head to foot, especially adjusting backbone, strengthening internal organs, increasing good cells and bringing oxygen to every corner of the body, Making our life is more comfortable and peaceful.
Patriarch taught that: "the merit is uncountable with one time reciting the Buddha's name, countless sins are destroyed with one time prostrating the Buddha”. As being a human body is a great fortune but also comes along many misfortunes. Because no one is perfect, we can make many sins with our actions. So we must observe ourselves to see our mistakes, the truthful repentance helps reduce our sins. So, prostrating the Buddha is the most suitable and beneficial method.
At the end of the speech, the Buddhists recited the Medicine Buddha, praying for the country’s safety, world’s peace and people’s happiness.
