The rules and taboos of feng shui incense
Dress neatly
Burning incense to worship Buddha is a very pious thing, and it is also a minimum respect for Buddha. Therefore, when burning incense to worship Buddha, you must dress neatly and not be disheveled, which will not only leave a good impression on others, but also show great disrespect to Buddha.
If you know that you are going to burn incense and worship Buddha the next day, you should clean yourself up the night before and dress yourself up neatly. Don't wear gorgeous clothes, just keep it clean and tidy and don't wear exaggerated clothes.
Burn incense before eating
Burn incense before eating. If you wait until you are full, it is impolite to burn incense for the Buddha. Because gods and buddhas don't want to eat other people's leftovers. So don't eat before incense, take a moment to incense the Buddha, and then you can eat, and the incense just served is still burning. This is not only a good atmosphere, but also a respect for the Buddha.
Do a good job in the health of the altar before incense
In a year, there are actually not many days to burn incense, so the altar in many families is actually full of dust. Before you incense the Buddha at home, what you need to know is that you'd better clean up the altar before you incense it. Even if people eat, they will wipe their tables first, and the gods and buddhas naturally don't want to eat in dusty places. Therefore, cleaning the altar first can be more beneficial to the Buddha and himself.
step of burning incense
when burning incense to worship Buddha, believers should take three sticks of incense, light them in the light, hold them in their hands, and walk to the Buddha with respect and sincerity. Facing the Buddha statue, stand respectfully, hold incense in both hands, and turn to the Buddha with a pure heart. You can meditate in your heart and hope that the Buddha can hear you. When holding incense, your hand is like an inquiry.
The forefinger and middle finger of both hands are holding the fragrant feet, and the two thumbs are pressed against the tail end of the fragrant feet. The incense should be held steady. Lift the incense to the eyebrows, flush with the eyebrows, and observe the solemnity of the Buddha statue with both eyes, eyes and nose, nose and heart. Honesty wants what you want in your heart. Put down the incense, hold the incense foot in your right hand and insert the incense in your left hand. The distance between the two incense is five points. Be careful not to cross the futon in front of you when you burn incense, otherwise it will be regarded as disrespectful.
