When is the best time to burn incense?
According to the traditional custom of our country, on the first and fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the masses have the custom of burning incense and praying in temples. This custom comes from Buddhism, which stipulates that Buddhist believers fast, recite scriptures and worship Buddha on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is actually equivalent to Sunday, and then spread among the people.
Actually, it's not the number of times you burn incense. It's usually once in the morning and once in the evening, so you don't have to pay attention to the exact time. Any day is fine. The rest of the time is whatever you like and convenient. As long as you want to burn incense and worship Buddha, this is the best time, because at this time, you have both faith and will, but you can do it. Buddhism emphasizes belief, desire and behavior.
The true meaning of incense:
First, show reverence and respect for the three treasures, so as to demonstrate and attract all beings.
Second, it means sending information to the void dharma circle and understanding the blessing of the Ten Treasures.
Third, it means burning yourself and spreading incense in ten ways to remind Buddhist disciples of selfless dedication.
Fourthly, it means that Buddhist precepts are really fragrant, and it contains the meaning of "diligently practicing precepts, being calm and wise, and extinguishing greed, anger and delusion". Buddha doesn't like the big and expensive incense in the world, but he likes the precepts and precepts of Buddhist disciples to be real incense.
The Buddhist scripture says, "Dharma is the first of all offerings." The so-called Buddhist support is the teaching in Buddhist scriptures, such as the principle of Buddhist reading, self-transformation, and speaking to people. That is, in daily life and when getting along with others: "If you don't do evil, all good will pursue it."
