Question asked by Runah
I lost my small wallet image of Ksitigarbha, I feel bad because I should've cared more about and I was connected to that specific picture of Ksitigarbha. What should I do? Should I be happy instead due to the possibility of someone else picking it up which results to the image planting seeds in them? Thank you Pastor.
Dear Runah,
I’m very sorry to hear that you lost your image. Even though it makes you said, yes, you should try and rejoice that whoever finds the image will be blessed by seeing the holy image of Ksitigarbha. Whenever you see an image of an enlightened being, then seeds are planted in our mind so that we can attain the same state as them, full enlightenment. Perhaps the person that finds the image, needs to make a connection with Ksitigarbha because they are going though a difficult time in their life, and he can help them.
For yourself, I suggest you can replace your image. If you can find the same one, that would be great. If not, then any image, will be good also. I hope this helps. Thank you.
