The significance of opening the light

Kaiguang is a Buddhist term, which means that the incarnation of Buddha and Bodhisattva and Prajna wisdom are required to live in the Buddha statue.

The location of the Buddhist Dharma Meeting is the Buddhist Dojo, and the wizards attending the ceremony should give sufficient precepts and hold formal precepts. A mage should be a mage with high spiritual achievements and the abbot of a temple.

The opening ceremony of Buddhism follows strict opening ceremony. According to the different inheritance of Han, Tibetan, Southern and French veins, the version of the opening ceremony is also different. Before the opening ceremony, a cleaning ceremony is usually held first.

This ceremony can be held at the same time as the opening ceremony; It can also be held on the eve of the opening ceremony. The number of chanting (incantations) when turning on the light depends on the length and scale of the light.

Buddhist temples, pagodas and Buddha statues were completed, and the opening ceremony was held to show the Buddhism to the public, indicating that Buddhism will last forever, reminding the public not to forget the Buddha's grace, practice diligently and open our own light.

Therefore, it is not people who give light to Buddha and Bodhisattva, and Buddha and Bodhisattva do not need people to give light at all. They show their wisdom in the image of Buddha and Bodhisattva, and turn on our own wisdom with the light of Buddha's Prajna. This is the true meaning of Buddhism.

Tibetan Buddhism pays more attention to the opening of Buddha statues and has a complete set of ceremonies. Before the Buddha statue opens, it is usually necessary to "hide" it. Generally speaking, "loading" means putting different scriptures in different parts of the Buddha statue, such as the head, limbs and body. Different Buddha statues have different scriptures.
