Praying to a statue?

[peacock]

From the perspective of a Buddhist, whichever Buddha images we may have installed at home is not important. The purpose is not to worship Lord Buddha as an idol. Instead we must take the correct approach to constantly remind us that a Buddha?s image represents His teachings. Hence, it is crucial to understand Buddhism doctrine regarding the sublime subject on Anicca, Dukkha and Anatta while eradicating the mind defilements associated with Lobha, Dosa and Moha. This can only be achieved through meditation practice to develop the Wisdom and see the Truth in accordance with His profound teaching. As a true Buddhist at heart, we must strive on to attain Victory by ourselves following this doctrine to reach the ultimate bliss.
