When
we bathe the Buddha’s body, of course, our Teacher,
the Lord Buddha’s body does not have any stain of
un-cleanliness or filth, however, by the act of bathing
the Buddha’s body, our own misdeeds and obscurations
of body, speech and mind will be purified. That is the
reason why we bathe the Lord Buddha Shakyamun’s body.
If we use the water that bathed the Buddha to wash our
own bodies, we can, ourselves, receive the blessings of
the Buddha. During the Wesak days, if you perform even
a tiny positive virtue, you will have inconceivable
benefits, and , likewise, any tiny non-virtuous misdeed
could also becomes a great negative karma. It is very
important that everyone should perform as much virtue
as possible and avoid non-virtue as much as possible
during Wesak period of 15 days.
