Burning of incense paper with dharma or sutra.




Dear fa-shi,

Recently, some of my colleagues ask me help them purchase the Zhun-Sheng Jin incense paper. Since they saw my fold the lotus and are interested to do so and burn to earth-god, ancestors or the spirits living.

1 afternoon when they folding the lotus in our site, out of sudden the young fa-shi saw it and said it a SIN to burn this incense paper because it is printed the dharma or sutra. Burning this is likes burning the sutra book, destroying Buddhist holy item...

My colleague came and told me this incident couple of them being scared and dare not continue. But some still not care.

Hahahaha...

Dear all, we are sharing the benefits of these sutras or dharani with those spirits only. 
Of course if the fashi find these offensive to him, then do not make him unhappy by folding them within his sight.
He still has a long way to go to understand Buddha Dharma and Tantrayana too. 

The most important point is 圆融 harmonious perfection or complement, in religious beliefs and in dealing with methods of convenience in this Saha World. 

Like those that burn holy books, can we see it as they are sharing the Holy teachings with the spirits? Giving them personal copies?

The Usnisa Vijaya Dharani has a statement about "Contact" that should be noted.

[安楼上。乃至安置窣堵波中。天帝。若有苾刍苾刍尼优婆塞优婆夷族姓男族姓女于幢等上。或见或与相近。其影映身。或风吹陀罗尼幢等上尘落在身上。天帝。彼诸众生。所有罪业。应堕恶道地狱畜生。阎罗王界。饿鬼界。阿修罗身恶道之苦。皆悉不受.]

:) Cheers all.
