You can go to the temple to burn incense on the first day.

Incense is a way to communicate with ancestors, gods and buddhas, the earth and heaven, and it has a natural and quiet function. It has a history of 5000 years since ancient times. In Buddhist belief, incense should be burned on the first and fifteenth days of the first year, which belongs to the tenth day of fasting. You can use incense in these two days, and your merits are doubled. It's amazing!

Every day in Buddhism is a good day, and every day is an auspicious day. There is no particular stress, but everyone has a day to form. Concentrate on doing merit, it is easy to form * * *, so that the blessings and merits are amplified. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is just the beginning and middle of the month, and it is also the day of October. Therefore, it is more convenient to choose the fifteenth day of the first day to worship Buddha. Some people can't burn incense every day, but they can burn incense on the tenth day. If they can't do it on the tenth day, burn incense on the first and fifteenth days of the first month. The key is to have a sincere, compassionate and respectful heart.

Matters needing attention in burning incense in temples

The clothes you wear when burning incense should be simple and dignified, not flashy, and you should not wear suspenders, hot pants or slippers to cool down. And take a bath before going out, which symbolizes washing away all the dust in the world. In this way, it will be more sincere to burn incense and worship Buddha. However, some people think that sincerity is the spirit, and you don't need to care too much about what clothes you wear, but it's best not to be too casual and pay a little attention, otherwise people may wonder if you are really sincere.

Many people burn incense with their right hands, which is caused by habit. But in fact, you should use your left hand, because in daily life, you will use your right hand to do everything, including killing chickens, so it is conceivable that you can't use your right hand when burning incense. Moreover, from the position of the left and right hands, the left hand is in front, so it is more sincere to block the right hand with the left hand. When lighting incense, in order to make it ignite, don't blow it with your mouth, just fan it with your hand a few times.
