Gold is one of the sacred and solemn important traditions of Buddhism. There is also a folk saying that "people want clothes, and Buddhas want gold". However, many people know little about why they should give gold to Buddha statues.
Some people think that the discount gold represents the highest reverence, because gold is rare and rare. The discount gold can show the respect to the Buddha, and the Buddha statues decorated with gold will be more solemn and solemn. The golden light will give people the feeling of light, hope and joy, and make people want to be closer to the Buddha. From a practical point of view, gold is not easy to be corroded and has strong stability. Sticking gold can prolong the preservation time of Buddha statues. Others hope to pray for good luck, success, disaster relief and so on by giving money to Buddha statues. These statements all have certain reasons, but the tradition of paying gold is also related to the significance of gold in Buddhism.
As we all know, Buddhism was born in ancient India. Through missionary preaching and localization evolution, we have known Buddhism now. Indians naturally like to wear jewelry, from headdresses, earrings, nose rings, necklaces, rings, bracelets, as long as they can afford it, they will buy and wear it.
Gold is a symbol of wealth and prosperity in Hindu beliefs. The ornaments worn by the Indian statues we saw were all made of gold. Until now, India is not only a populous country, but also the largest gold consumer in the world.
Gold is the first of the seven treasures of Buddhism. Amitabha Buddha's body, which is the most familiar Western Bliss, is golden. It is said in "praise of Buddha" that "Amitabha Buddha's body is golden, and there is no equal relationship between them." Many classics have recorded that Buddha's body is golden.
Buddha in the posthumous work of "The Great Nirvana Sutra" told us like this: "When Ershi was in the master's seat, he used the real gold hand, but his monk galii clothes showed the purple grinding gold master's chest, which was widely told by the public: you and all the people of heaven should take a deep look at my purple grinding golden body. At that time, all the four people looked forward to the true golden body of the great sense of vision, and they were all happy if they didn't give up for the moment. For example, it is difficult to give birth to the third Zen in Biqiu. The Emperor of Ershi showed the public with his golden body, that is to say, the boundless and boundless 10 billion Nirvana light will shine on all the world in ten directions, and the sun and the moon will shine without any light."
Since the Buddha's body is golden, it is most appropriate to give gold to the Buddha statue.
