Prayer beads and Buddha images aren't decorations or accessories (GDD-665, Master Sheng-Yen)

[@TalkingToLeedskalnin]

As a beginning practicing Buddhist, I have learned so much through these videos. So much more than any other series. he answers real questions, with clarity and kindness. Thank you Master Sheng-Yen. Amituofo!

Master Sheng Yen did A good job presenting this. I'm not Buddhist, But I understand what he's saying. Don't be hypocritical. And he had a point with Christians too. It's a mockery when people just cover up their wrong and pretend to be saintly. Holier-than-thou stuff gets to me..

[@TheHufflepuffGuy]

***** What he said should be applied to all spiritual tools in all faiths. Respect differences. It's that simple. Peace.

This is a great job explaining about this subject. Ven. Sheng - Yen Is so wise and merciful. What a great teacher and example of Buddhism he is. He is so genuine and very likeable, this man! 🙏

I never bought a Buddhist prayer beads in accessories stores. I got one given to me from a Buddhist nun. And I used it often counting reciting amitabha, guan yin, and dizangwang bodhisattva's name 3 times per round.

I wanted to get into prayer beads for buddhism. But I knew they weren't an accessory. He's right, they are a tool for concentrating the mind.

[@skitl76]

To be quite honest, if you’re angered or dislike this video, then he’s talking about you.

I'm not a Buddhists simply a meditation practitioner and as a westerner i see people with buddha statuses in there house as decorations all the time, growing up many kids parents had then but its the kind of people with "live laugh love" on there wall theres no real connection to mindfulness or spirituality but simply the facade of learned life practice

[@fuzzystatic949]

I want to learn more about Buddhism it makes me feel for intouch I must visit a monistary to close myself. Or do something other then practicing nothing anything. I'm lost I feel Christianity isn't my path.

If a criminal wears a mala isn't he/she welcome. Shinran quite explicitly said "that a sinner with faith will be made welcome in the Pure Land - even more welcome than a good man who has faith and pride."

[@エルフェンリート-l3i]

He didn't categorically condemn criminals, please read carefully. The opposite is the case: He said that if a criminal is wearing a Mala to remind himself of the Buddha or generally, as a skillful means on his way of repenting, then it's okay, but if he only wears it for fashion or because he wants to superficially gain mercy because people might assume some form of spirituality, then he shouldn't wear the Mala, as it disrespects honest spiritual practice.

[@akumaoni2837]

Oh shit then i should take the sunglasses of the little buddha stature. Or might Buddha like wearing Sunglasses?

Is the master speaking Chinese or Taiwanese?

Although I am not absolutely sure, he was born and raised in mainland China in the 1930s and lived there until 1949 so the likelihood is that he is speaking Chinese. Of course I could be completely wrong but that’s just my two cents

[@moonliteyue9917]

Julian Cleland chinese and Taiwanese is same mandarin

[@樣語嫣]

I lived in Taiwan for a long time. And he he’s speaking Mandarin Chinese, it’s just that he has a very heavy Taiwanese accent.
