Question asked by Dessert flower
Dear Pastors,
Thank you for tirelessly taking time out to answer questions here.
Rinpoche has said that it is important to have buddhas status consecreated. Currently I dont have buddha statues but have only buddha pictures and tsa tsa as a start. My questions are:
1. If they are only pictures, although still nevertheless representations of buddhas, what best I can do? Or in order words, what shd I do if it is best that they are consecreted too?
2. What are the meanings/purposes behind consecrating of buddha statues?
Thank you.
Hi Dessert flower,
1. Best simple way to consecrate is to make daily offerings and recite the particular Buddha’s sadhana and mantra.
2. Consecration if performed according to authentic rituals by attained master and trained practitioners increase the power of the statue to bless.
