最早期的佛像雕塑多见于石雕石刻，后来铜佛像雕塑（大庄严佛像制）开始出现，铜佛像大多形体较小而精致，便以携带供奉于佛寺和信众家中佛龛，或纳藏于佛塔地宫之中，从古流传至今。佛像放在口袋里是否不尊敬？
The earliest Buddhist statues were mostly found in stone carvings. Later, bronze Buddha statues (Grand and solemn Buddha statues) began to appear. Most of the bronze Buddha statues were small and delicate. They were carried to Buddhist temples and Buddhist shrines in their homes, or hidden in Buddhist pagodas and palaces. They have been handed down from ancient times to the present. Is it disrespectful to put a Buddha in your pocket?
问：“我要是考试或出远门的话，都希望佛菩萨能在身边，保佑自己，像这个小的佛像，放在口袋里或旅行包里，行不行？会不会是一种不尊敬的行为？
Question: "If I take an exam or go far, I hope that Buddha and Bodhisattva can be around and bless themselves. Like this little statue of Buddha, can I put it in my pocket or travel bag? Would it be an act of disrespect?
答：先讲尊敬，事相上的尊敬有事相上的表现形式。比如佛像经书不能低于腰部，这是事相上的表现形式。好了，现在抛开事相不说，如果你携带着一个佛像或者观音像，目的是让这个佛像来加持你，保佑你，这本身在你心目当中就是一种恭敬。因为你想让他加持你，保佑你，最起码你知道他有这种作用，这就是恭敬。所以出门带着佛像，无论放到哪里，心存恭敬就可以了。当然我们要避免非常不恭敬的那种行为，这是第一点。
Answer: Respect is the first thing. Respect in matters has its manifestation in matters. For example, Buddhist scriptures should not be lower than the waist, which is a manifestation of the facts. Well, now let's put aside the fact that if you carry a Buddha statue or Guanyin image, the purpose is to let this Buddha statue bless you and bless you, which itself is a kind of respect in your mind. Because you want him to bless you, at least you know that he has such a role, that is respect. So go out with a Buddha statue, no matter where you put it, just be respectful. Of course, we should avoid very disrespectful behavior. This is the first point.
第二点，即使你不带着佛像走，如果你明确了佛教的正确理念，佛菩萨无处不在，只要你心存善念，护法龙天也加持，佛菩萨也时常跟随，因为什么呢？佛菩萨的法身是遍满十法界的，它不受时空的限制。我们一念虔诚，就马上与佛菩萨相应了，所以这是从事相和心理上来讲的这个加持和恭敬的作用。
Secondly, even if you don't take the Buddha with you, if you have a clear idea of Buddhism, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are everywhere. As long as you have good thoughts, Buddha and Bodhisattvas also bless the Dragon sky, Buddha and Bodhisattvas often follow, because what? The Dharma body of Buddha and Bodhisattva is full of ten Dharma realms, and it is not restricted by time and space. When we think of piety, we immediately correspond to Buddha and Bodhisattva, so this is the role of benefiting and respecting both physically and psychologically.
再一个讲到我们初学者诵什么经？如果有时间，你尽量看原经，看的经越多越好。假如真的没有时间，可以选择你非常喜欢的非常熟悉的经书。可以把功课定得很短，能够有自己的空余时间多去看经。如果讲到相应，那么初学者以开显智慧为最重要，多念文殊菩萨的心咒，“嗡啊‘日/阿’巴扎那德”。如果一个人好嗔恨、好嫉妒、好争斗，我们多念观世音菩萨心咒，“唵嘛呢叭咪吽”。如果一个人弱不禁风，我们土话讲“中邪”了，经常迷迷糊糊的。那么你可以多念金刚手菩萨心咒。这是一种相应法，我们学佛不可能把所有的佛法都学到，学什么呢？学相应法。
What scriptures do our beginners recite? If you have time, you try to read the original scriptures. The more you read, the better. If you really don't have time, you can choose the very familiar scriptures you like very much. You can set your homework very short and have your own spare time to go to the Bible. If we talk about the corresponding, then the most important thing for beginners is to open up zhongyaogui.71ix.comzhenkongdai.37ix.com.cnshuitong.71ix.comdibanms.37ix.com.cn langan.37ix.com.cnbaiyangdian.37ix.com.cntheir wisdom. They often recite the mantra of Manjushri Bodhisattva, "Buzz ah'day/ah'Bazanard". If a person is hateful, jealous and aggressive, we often recite the heart mantra of Guanyin Bodhisattva, "Ouch, hoot, hoot". If a person can't help being weak, we often get confused when we say "evil in the middle" in local dialect. Then you can recite the heart mantra of Vajrayana Bodhisattva more. This is a corresponding method. We can't learn all Buddha's Dharma by learning Buddha. What can we learn? Learn the corresponding method.
