DO NOT USE IMAGES OF BODHISATTVA IN GRAPHICS FOR WORDS OF WISDOM AS IT IS DISRESPECTFUL
Caller: In some social media groups, some Buddhist friends are very earnest and have designed many graphics for Master’s Words of Wisdom or notices on activities.
Oftentimes, their graphics have images of Bodhisattva. When we click on the graphics, we will inadvertently touch on the Bodhisattva’s head, face, and etc. In this regard, is it suitable to use images of Bodhisattva for such graphics? Is it even in accordance with the dharma and the path of rightness?
Master Jun Hong Lu: You may design with images of lotus, but avoid using the portrait of Bodhisattva. Why do you have to use the image of Bodhisattva? It’s improper and disrespectful to Bodhisattva. Haven’t I mentioned this before? The same goes to the cup that has imprints of the Great Compassion Mantra, because the moment you hold the cup, you are literally squeezing the names of the Bodhisattvas.
