Can I throw away a Buddha statue?
In daily life, we often see good people offering sacrifices to Buddha (gods) at home. After making offerings for a while, they no longer want to do so for various reasons, or the statues have been damaged and are no longer solemn. They want to ask for a new Buddha statue to offer, but the Buddha is no longer able to do so. What is the proper way to dispose of (god) images?

Give to a friend
If the Buddha statue is not damaged and you no longer want to offer it, you can give it to a friend. Ask your friends around you if anyone wants to offer it. If so, bring it to your friend respectfully. If your friend sincerely wants to offer it, you can give it to your friend. This is also merit.

Delivered to temple
You can also send it to the temple. If you are unable to continue to worship or have no intention of worshiping, you can find a way to send it to the temple and hand it over to the temple steward. First, inform others in advance, and then respectfully invite the Buddha (god) statue there. At the same time, you should burn incense and make offerings the day before sending off, and sincerely express your inner thoughts and thoughts about sending away the Buddha statue. You must tell the truth and be reasonable. There are certain procedures for sending items to temples. Never just throw them away at the temple or around the temple entrance without saying hello. This is just like abandoning it intentionally, and may even be retributive.

Master Yinguang tells us
Master Yinguang told us: If Buddhist scriptures or statues are damaged and cannot be used, get a relatively clean container. You can incinerate it, and then use a relatively dense cloth bag to pack the ashes. , you just put it into the sea or river, tie a stone to it and let it sink. You can handle it this way. Our respect is included in the process. One point of respect will eliminate one point of sin and increase one point of blessing and wisdom. Being very respectful will eliminate ten points of sin and gain ten points of blessing and wisdom.
