Why can't you just copy the scriptures?

Because you need to prepare a lot of programs before copying classics, you can't copy them casually.

Copying scriptures has different meanings for different people. If you copy the contents of scripture at will, it will result in incomplete excerpts and psychological errors. Copying scriptures is not typing or scribbling. You should be single-minded, single-minded and accurate. Never write wrong words, or omit or repeat them.

Copying classics has many advantages, besides boundless merits, it can also cultivate our concentration! Because when we write Buddhist scriptures with the most pious and respectful heart, our whole body and mind will be involved. When a person can concentrate, he is not easily shaken by the outside world, and he can also eliminate all kinds of distractions to achieve a state of undivided attention.

"One heart is not confused" is a kind of determination. We know that chanting Buddha can be done without disorder, but in fact, copying scriptures can be done without disorder. Copying Buddhist scriptures is a kind of practice, and the most important thing is persistence, so as to cultivate our diligence. Everything we do is for persistence, so that we can make progress.

Scripture writing is a kind of spiritual purification, and our hands touch the surface of everything. So be sure to keep your hands clean and wash your hands when copying classics, or you will write dirty classics.

2. Avoid messy handwriting

Writing scriptures is to copy mysterious scriptures word by word, so the prerequisite is that the font should be written neatly, preferably in block letters.

3. Avoid distractions

Focus when writing scriptures, which is the most important goal of writing scriptures. Everyone should concentrate on writing scriptures, not like some people wearing headphones when writing scriptures, or even some people talking and eating while writing scriptures. None of this is good. You should be able to concentrate.
