Question asked by Amy
Hi Pastors,
When we see a buddha status or image anywhere is it okay to prostrate to them? I have heard that if the buddha statues were not consecrated that they is a chance that negative energies might reside in the statues therefore we should be careful to not pray to any buddha statues that we see. Please give some advice. Thank you for answering my question.
Hi Amy,
If we can recognise a statue as a Buddha , understanding the image is representation of virtue, wisdom and compassion, I don’t see how praying to such a holy object will give problems. On the contrary it will plant good seeds in your mind and a cause for future happiness and enlightenment.
