Steps of burning incense in temples

There are many bodhisattvas in Shangxiang Temple. You can worship them one by one if you like. If time doesn't allow, burn them in front of the Ursa major. The steps are as follows:

Please buy your own incense, others can't pay for it.

It's best to light incense with your own fire (three is enough, you don't need to burn a lot). Facing the main door of the hall (in order to prevent fire, you generally can't burn incense in the hall), hold three Qing Xiang lightly with your hands (the man's left hand is above, the right hand is below, and the woman is on the other side), and suddenly mention it, the burning fire will go out immediately. Never blow with your mouth.

When putting incense, put 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 people's eyes are smoked with thick smoke, thinking that the higher the incense, the more sincere the heart.

These are all manifestations of ignorance. In fact, three incense sticks are enough. You can worship in a furnace. When you pass a Buddhist temple, you can cross your hands and worship three times. Buddhism doesn't pay much attention to it at all. The most important thing is whether you are clean and self-centered.

Respect the incense, lift the incense to your forehead, close your eyes and make a wish; Then worship three times (the height of holding incense should not be lower than the lower body), turn right, face east (the main hall gate generally faces south), make a wish in the way of step 3, and worship three times; Then face south and face north.
