Precautions for burning incense:
When you burn incense, burn incense first and then worship. Many people hold a handful of incense and worship everywhere. There are hot incense ashes everywhere in the temple, and the thick smoke makes people's eyes hard to open. They think that the higher the fragrance, the more sincere the heart. These are expressions that they don't understand. In fact, three incense sticks are enough, and you can worship in one furnace. When "a furnace of ten thousand buddhas" passes by without a Buddhist temple, just cross your hands and worship three times. There are not many Buddhists at all.
Burning incense in the temple is to light your heart, and lighting a lamp is to light your heart. At this time, you can get the blessing of Buddha and Bodhisattva, thus gaining wisdom and so on.
So you can burn one, two, three at most.
, will burn more.
When you enter the temple to burn incense, you can bring it with you or buy it from outside. However, incense is usually found in the main hall and can be used directly. If economic conditions permit, you can put some merit money into the merit box. If it's hard, don't worry that the Bodhisattva won't blame you. You have the same merit in worshipping Buddha.
Be pious, be honest, and have clean hands. Don't make noise and say irrelevant "nagging" in the temple. Don't point your finger at the Buddha statue. Don't make noise and say disrespectful things.
More importantly, you can't make a wish casually, because you must keep it. If you are not sure, don't make a wish.
Don't ask for wealth, Buddha didn't bless you to get rich.
You can seek peace and health.
Don't just promise to give the Buddha something to support and then forget it.
Buddha does not dispute your fragrance. This statement tells us not to make promises at will. The so-called life must be carried out as promised.
It should be these lies that annoy the Buddha.
