Sincerely ask Buddhist believers, can I worship Buddha with Li's sandalwood?

No, it's better to provide natural incense to the Buddha statue, but chemical incense is not suitable, not to mention mosquito-repellent incense.

If you want to provide fragrance, don't provide some synthetic fragrance, but natural fragrance, such as sandalwood. Instead of providing a lot of inferior chemical incense, it is better to buy less and better incense with limited money. Good incense will concentrate people's roots, calm the central nervous system, enhance concentration and increase roots. Especially for practitioners, the six meridians are particularly acute and the pulse is particularly smooth. If chemical incense is used, it will leave residue in the body, which will not only disturb the environment and mind, but also easily lead to excessive internal heat, which will not only not soothe the nerves, but will damage the body and mind. What's more, it may attract other hungry ghosts.

When burning incense, the heart should think about supporting three generations of ten buddhas and bodhisattvas, and thinking about the icon in front of you to give birth to the true Buddha.

All buddhas and bodhisattvas are saints who have broken away from reincarnation and achieved supreme enlightenment. They don't care what you feed them with. But for those of us who are still ordinary people, we need to support the three treasures with the best things we can, which in itself is training our heart of giving, making us reluctant to give up and cutting off our greed.

After burning incense, you can put your hands together in front of the Buddha and say to yourself, "May this incense blossom into a cloud, go straight to the Three Treasures, and pray for mercy and universal compassion." .

There are a lot of delicious incense now, which is not very expensive. Sandalwood powder is about 4-5 yuan, and ordinary natural incense is about 20 yuan. If it is culture, the most expensive Tibetan incense they produce is only around 10 yuan. Please order some delicious incense. If you are used to offering incense synthesized by natural spices, you will find that the fragrance synthesized by chemical flavors is really pungent.

Good luck, Amitabha.
